How do I disable console?


Snoucher

Recommended Posts

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've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
