WTF

From WoWDev

This is the file format used in all of World of Warcraft's console scripting. If you run World of Warcraft with console mode enabled (using the "-console" command line parameter), using the console (press tilda or ~ to bring it up) you are able to create and run .wtf files. Upon running World of Warcraft, two .wtf files are executed, these are "realmlist.wtf", in your World of Warcraft directory, and also "Config.wtf", located in your WTF directory. The commands in these files are executed as if run by the RUN command in the console. Here is a list of the console commands available in World of Warcraft. Note that this list is incomplete, as certain commands are/were only available in certain versions of the game (example: the ShowWater command no longer works past World of Warcraft Beta 2) and that certain commands are not available to common users of the game, and only to game administraters or game masters (example : the WorldPort command no longer works for non-GMs). These GM-only files are not displayed in this list (nor can they be viewed without some command to view them, or a list of GM-commands):

   # Debugging commands
         o mem - writes a memory dump to your hard drive and also displays on screen how much of your total memory you are currently using
         o ErrorFileLog - it's a CVar - initally set to 0, I believe it logs all encountered errors to a file

         o FontPerf - I'm unsure what this one does - when used, it Alphas out all my console text and places colored bars below my screen
         o Errors - it's a CVar - initial value is 0 - unsure of use
         o ShowErrors - another CVar - initial value is 1 - it probably allows errors to be written to the errors logfile and/or to the screen when they occour
         o ErrorLevelMin - CVar - initially 1 - no idea
         o ErrorLevelMax - CVar - initially 3 - also no idea

         o enumTextures - dumps all the texturenames, filesizes, and other data to a file
         o enumTextureGxCache - it's the same as enumTextures, except it dumps the graphics cache instead of your system's memory

         o gxApi - sets the Graphics API between DirectX (Direct3d) and OpenGL

         o gxMultisample - sets the number of screen multisampling that is calculated
         o gxOverride
