Something retarded Created 18 years ago2005-06-02 23:41:56 UTC by Kantham

I have tryed all the keys with ''enable editing mode'' thing inside the Keyboard Advanced settings, and i can't bring the console on. Anyone had that problem?

If you mean, that you bind a key to the -dev -console command, and press the key in game, I don't think it will work, just click the HL2/CSS properties >> Launch options and write -dev -console,, it works for me..

Well , if i could be more explainfull , I can't bring the console , i CAN'T whrite anything in SP mode. I want to map for SP and i heard i need to get the thing checked inside Keyboard Advanced settings and keep the game opened while editing it (i got 1 gb ram so i am ok.). Some of my friends tryed to help me but they came with no solutions. They said it's the key just next to 1. Normaly , You and everyone can bring the console. that thing >>> ~ <<< , but instead it whrite that >>> # <<<, there is no way i can type it with my keyboard , Even not with Shift holded , ALT+ CTRL and What ever you can think of. i need to copy it otherwise i could not have it posted here. I guess it's the problem.

Oh well lol , i changed my keyboard setting ( language ) and now i can get it to work.

Thanks for reading though.

Well, for us European users, I've noticed the tick in Advanced Keyboard Settings doesn't work.

We sitll use the same key as the yanks though - it is indeed the key next to 1 (? in swedish keyboards).

Just make a shortcut to half-life 2 on your desktop, right click it, and in the "Target" window, add -console -dev.
This should make the console available from start and you can access it by just going to the menu (esc).

Your shortcuts target field should say, something like:
G:SteamSteamApps[name]half-life 2hl2.exe -dev -console

Works alright for me (British keyboard layout). It's the same key as the Yankees, though (`).
