How to open the console

[Norafrivola]

Hey,

 

I've recently started adding mods to DAO and with NNM and some research things went well for my first 10 mods.

 

Now i'm stuck though. I wanted to install a mod to add an item to the player character ( http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/1131/? ) which i think i installed correctly. The mod requires to enable the console, which i think i enabled correctly according to this page: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Console.

 

But what i don't know is how i actually open the console. Does this console open ingame? Or via some directory i missed?

 

In the settings\KeyBindings.ini i wrote:

 

OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_$

Replacing:

OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_Grave

 

I also tried:

OpenConsole_1=Keyboard::Button_$

Replacing

OpenConsole_1=(UNASSIGNED)

 

I guess i'm just missing something fundamental, probably trivial even.

 

Anyone?

:smile:

The "standard" method of opening the Console is to use:

" OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_Grave ".

 

Note: the line in Keybindings.ini requires the name of the key, not the actual character itself.

Do you hit the key while the game is running or is it some executable i'm not finding?

 

And ... what key is this Button_Grave?

 

 

[Thandal]

The game has to be running. One enables the console by appending the parameter " -enabledeveloperconsole " to the command to start the game, or by inserting a similar line in the appropriate config file.

 

And "grave" is the name of the accent character ( ` ) which is found to the left of the numeral ( 1 ) on a standard Qwerty keyboard with the US layout. The name of the shifted character on the same physical key is "tilde", ( ~ ).
