bind \ toggleconsole That should set it to the upper left key. Then put -toconsole in teh launch options and it should be guaranteed to be enabled.
If other people have the problem, just try one key at a time. I've been binding keys all day untill i found one that worked ==> F12 So as far as i know this is the only way that works for me: add bind "F12" "toggleconsole" to the config.cfg file. All the other F keys didn't work, none of the 26 letters worked, and i tried at least a third from all other keys without any success. The "F12" key is also one of the few that don't get overwritten or deleted when i start up empires. All the other binds magically disappeared from the file. But at least for me the problem is solved!
I added -console to both HL²DM and SDK base launch options and it seems to work fine... so try this and tell if it helps
Dude i love you! :D Adding -console to the source sdk base launch option actually worked! It's pretty strange i didn't think of it myself. I suppose after using it for every source game i got used to the idea of adding it the game itself.
I have it bound to that key too because of console closing when I type a char in it (if using ~ as toggleconsole bind thingie) :D Anyway I have the choice of 1. standard bind and having to type a first then backspace then whatever I want or.... 2. bind it to F12 :D pretty easy choice for me Anyhow I'm glad it works now Silk :D
great, so we need the sdk base just to be able to have a working console? Yay steam, may it burn in a very special hell for all eternity
