Open Console In Game

MrMayor

the ` key is supposed to open the console, right? well i push it in game now and it doesnt work. any tips?

ZiGGY

put -console in the shortcut you use to execute the game.

[edit] like this C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -console -game ns -nointro [/edit]

also in old betas of cs, rebinding a key in the configuration menu midgame used to allow use of the console, no idea if that still works.

` will only bring down the console if it is bound to it. If you have messed with your config.cfg you might not have this. If putting -console in the path does nothing then you may not have it bound to your ` key.

If you can't find a line that looks like: bind "toggleconsole" "`" in your config.cfg, you should insert one, you can open it in a normal text editor like notepad.

just add

bind ` toggleconsole

to your config.cfg

Sarisel

the correct addition to config.cfg is:

bind "`" "console 1.0; toggleconsole"
bind "~" "console 1.0; toggleconsole"

FireStorm

u don't need that if you add -console to the parameters.
