-----------------------------------

THE 'JOSTLE' FUNCTION

This was implemented to (hopefully) free you from problem geometry should you ever get 'stuck'.

Press the '0' key (default keybinding) in order to activate the 'Jostle' function. (You will unequip any weapons or item you are currently using)

You must then either face the ground or any other geometry that's right next to you and repeatedly press the 'Primary Fire' key. This should dislodge you from any meshes or crevasses that are preventing you from moving.

Keep in mind that this method is not always guaranteed to work!

-----------------------------------

LOADING MAPS FROM THE CONSOLE

You can load maps using the console command 'OPEN'. To do so, press the tilde key ( ~ ) to bring down the console and type:

OPEN OOH-SEQ1

and hit enter. (SEQ1 to SEQ25 being the maplist. Check the map directory for specific SEQ numbers)
Loading maps in this matter is NOT recommended as it can possibly corrupt your saved game OR you may start the map with 0 health and become immobile.

-----------------------------------

FOG DISTANCE

The 'fog distancer' slider increases/decreases the fog distance in the game. Lowering this value (moving the slider to the left) should help increase your framerate at the cost of distance detail.
