MULTIPLAYER CONTROL COMMANDS

Here is a list of commands you can give to Descent 3 both to your copy of
the game and to the server -- while playing a multiplayer game, or while
running a dedicated server. To enter a command, press the F8 key, then type
the command and press Enter. For example, to show player info for player 0,
you would press F8, then type:

$playerinfo 0
then press return. Many of these commands are available from the F6
multiplayer menu that's available while playing the game. If you run
a dedicated server, you'll need to type in these commands, since the
multiplayer menu will be unavailable.
