Title: Unable to open Console
Post by: KayJay on December 01, 2010, 01:59:07 am
I beleive i tried every single key, usually the "^" key (european) opens the console, but nothing happens.
I tried to enable/disable "developerconsole" in the options menu, but nothing changed.
Do I have to make a dedicated Server to go into the Console?
I need the Console for trying to create a non dedicated Server because I did read you have to change the map ingame before your Gameroom shows up in the Internetlist.

Okay I just figured it out, I had to type "-console" in the starting prioritys for the mod on steam.
Silly me.

It's the key below Esc.

It depends which keyboard language you have set in windows.
I used to set mine to french and neither the ~ key or any other key on my keyboard would open the console.

That and he also said that he already tried every key on his keyboard.

The key that opens the console is actually ` not ~. Open your config file in a text editor and you can rebind it to something else if ` is not on your keyboard. I can't remember what the command is, but I think it's either "console" or "toggleconsole".

Make sure you click ok after checking enable dev console.

The Dev Console setting is enabled and I've found the line
Code: [Select]
bind "`" "toggleconsole"
in ..\gesource\cfg\config.cfg and changed it to "o".
I also set the -console start parameter but I still can't open the console.. What might be the problem? :\

` and ~ is the same key on an English (US/Canada) keyboard.
