Hi

I forgot the command to put in the autoexec.cfg file so I can enable the console ingame.
Does anyone know the command? (And please don't tell me the "go to advanced and select.." thing, - I have a swedish keyboard and can't do that!).




Thankful for any replies given, and have a wonderful weekend!
 
bind "`" "toggleconsole"

Will bind the key next to 1 for opening console. Swap ` for any key you want :)
 
No command needed.

in the options, under keyboard, there should be some "advanced" or something, a button to press. there you can enable quick weapon switch and the console which is default bound to ~

Doesn't work.

Doesn't work..


Anyone else?
 
then there is something wrong with your game/keyboard.

lol

goodluck :P

No. Any old schooler would remember the command... I just lost my harddrive a week ago, and I'm too old to remember the command.

This is what I do remember:
1.create an autoexec.cfg file.
2.in it put the following... ...and there is where it all stops.
I have a swedish keyboard, and the game isn't swedish. Anything hard to understand why I need this command?


<edit> Oh and if I was to change the bind "`" "toggleconsole" thing, the game puts it back to default. I do not simply have that button..
 
hmmm i ask my coder of aoc
 
ok i got it
Go to this Directory counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg
Open file named config.cfg (probaly with notepad)
look for a command nammed * bind "`" "toggleconsole"*
Change ` to other unbound key

and thank me if it works :P
 
I found that binds in the config sometimes don't work too, make a file called autoexec.cfg in the same folder and just add

bind "`" "toggleconsole"
bind ` toggleconsole

One without quotes just for good measure :D

And if that doesn't work add exec console.cfg in your config file at the bottom and creat a file called console.cfg and add

bind "`" "toggleconsole"
bind ` toggleconsole

and save the file. If none of that doesn't work then I'll send you my cfg file.
 
Make sure your autroexec.cfg isn't read onlywhen you change them.
 
Hi everybody. I found this thread and my problem is nearly the same. I'm sorry that I bump it again, but this is my problem and I think it's better than opening a new thread.

I saw in his System Specs that oli_ramsay has Windows 7 x64. My problem occurs both in CS 1.6 and CS:S. My console closes when I try to type something. I discovered that the problem is caused by some keyboard shortcuts for characters like à and á in Windows 7. Fine, I don't know how to get rid of this, but I want to change my console shortcut. I've tried bind "F12" "toggleconsole" in config.cfg, in userconfig.cfg... the console still opens only by hitting `. Can you help me ?

EDIT: I solved the problem by changing the Keyboard Layout to US Standard instead of US International. I apologize.
