I was about to play this game until I got hit by the fact I can't put away my weapons. The tilde key which is used to holster weapons is being occupied by the console. I've verified that I should be able to this and I searched for a fix. Unfortunately it appears this problem is entirely unique to me. Is there any known way to disable the console? I don't want to mess with rebinding.

Unless you have "seta com_allowConsole 1" in darkmod.cfg or autoexec.cfg or in command-line parameters, console should trigger by Ctrl+Alt+Tilde.
If you have this cvar set, then it is toggled by just Tilde.

I don't know about any other way to disable/enable console.

Yet when I directly input "seta com_allowConsole 0" into darkmod.cfg the console opens regardless of it.

The Linux version of TDM seems to use ` for the console regardless of whether com_allowconsole is set to 1 or 0. It's set to 0 on this machine and ` still brings down the console. Not sure if you want to call it a bug or not. Personally I don't mind because there's no penalty for keeping the blackjack out. It doesn't slow you down, it doesn't make you more visible, and AIs don't react to it unless you swing it.

Sounds like a bug, then. You could try the most recent dev build where the input system has been overhauled, perhaps that might fix it. If not, as a workaround you can always reassign the key or use the mouse wheel to cycle through weapons and eventually put them away.

For reference, the Dev version details can be seen here:

Just use the new tdm_installer to select a custom TDM version and select the latest dev build version.

Why not just reassign the "put away weapon"-key?

The dev version also has this problem.

This works fine

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
