This is (unofficial) invented categorization scheme -- I've tried to pick categories that would make it easier to find what you need while maintaining a reasonable list size for each category.  Use the links on the left to quickly access any of the categories, or click on a category name below.  The master list of <a href="http://kingpin.info/?p=kingpin-console-commands">all commands and variables</a> is, of course, still available, and has been completely revised and updated for the retail version of Kingpin.
<a href="http://kingpin.info/?p=console-audio">Audio</a> Audio commands and variables control the sound system (both in-game and cd-audio).  Anything related to your soundcard or quality settings (that may affect overall performance) is here.
<a href="http://kingpin.info/?p=console-cheats">Cheats</a> There are just a few.
<a href="http://kingpin.info/?p=console-controls">Controls</a> These commands are those most likely to be bound to keys -- they control your player (and your interface to your player and other players).   Moving, talking to teammates, changing weapons -- those types of commands (and the variables that affect how they work) are all here.
<a href="http://kingpin.info/?p=console-demo-utilities">Demo Utilities</a> Kingpin's built-in demo recording and playback tools make it easy to record single-player or multiplayer action or tricks -- anyone with Kingpin can view demos you record.
<a href="http://kingpin.info/?p=console-developer ">Developer</a> These are commands and variables that the vast majority of users will never need to change or even know about.  Unless you're making a mod or your own maps, don't even bother with these. If you are looking for commands to help you debug and perfect your map, this is the place.
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-joystick">Joystick</a> Commands and variables related to your joystick (please consider switching to the mouse).  If you insist on using a stick, this section will help you customize your joystick motions and buttons.
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-miscellaneous">Miscellaneous</a> These commands and variables are ones you'll probably never use very much (except for quit or exit, of course), but you might find some of them amusing to experiment with.
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-mouse">Mouse</a> Commands and variables related to your mouse.   Know them all.
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-network-and-multiplayer">Network and Multiplayer</a> The most important set of commands and variables I have to offer, except for the <a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-tweaks">Tweaks</a> (which includes many of the commands also listed here). Learn these; bind your favorite settings to keys (or use scripts to cycle through them) and use them to tweak your multiplayer game to the maximum performance level.
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-preferences">Preferences</a> Basically a list of things you'll set once and leave alone forever (with the defaults being perfect for most people).
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-script-making">Script Making</a> These commands are useful for writing scripts.   Note that these are not the only commands you can use in a script -- you can use any console command or variable in a script.  These are the commands that really have no other purpose than script-making.  If you're writing some scripts, be sure to check out the <a href="http://kingpin.info/?p=console-controls">Controls</a> and <a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-network-and-multiplayer">Net</a> categories too.
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-server-options">Server Options</a> These commands and variables are mostly used only by those who run servers.  While some of the commands can be executed by clients on a server (i.e. not the host), it's a server operator who is most likely to use these. Note that some of the <a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-network-and-multiplayer">Net</a> commands and variables also apply to servers.
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-tweaks">Tweaks</a> All of the commands (mostly from the <a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-network-and-multiplayer">Networking</a>, <a href="http://kingpin.info/?p=console-audio">Audio</a>, and <a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-video">Video</a> categories) that can affect the performance of the game, and a few tools to help you find the best settings for you (such as netgraph, timerefresh, and r_speeds).

Those of you with high-end systems might be interested to try to tweak in the other direction -- to enhance visual quality and special effects (there's usually a trade-off between performance and quality, but the best way to find what you like best is to try them all).
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-unknown">Unknown</a> commands that are not categories yet.
<a href="http://www.kingpin.info/?p=console-video">Video</a> The all-important video console variables -- use these to find the best tradeoff between performance and quality and leave them alone. Or, use these to make scripts to change your settings on-the-fly.
