Posted by Gerbil, in our old forums. "ok, so instead of individually telling people about some useful(and just plain fun) console comands, ive decided to post ones that come to mind here. If i missed any at all, that you think should be here, post em here and i will add them.
how to enter the console? press the ~ key
anyway, how to change the color of your name? well thats putting a ^ then a color number, then after that combination everything will be that color. eg: < ^2Gerb^7il > will have a green Gerb, and a white il. note that for having a black name you will have to have ^^8 eg: <^2^^8Gerbil> will have a green ^, and a black Gerbil.
the color numbers are:
1= red
2= green
3= yellow
4= blue
5= light blue
6= purple
7= white

console command links:
http://q3console.planetquake.gamespy.com/commands.htm
this has a very large selection of console commands, divided into four catagories.
http://www.planetquake3.net/tweak/glossary_commands.html
this one may have a smaller selection as the other link, however it does provide an excellent decription of the command
*secondary rail color is the color of the impact the rail makes on the ground, if /cg_oldrail 1, then the secondary color effects the swirl color
**do this command while playing a demo, it will very slowly, and somewhat painfully, convert the demo into a .avi format."
