Falloutdownload Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Hi, I have a problem with the developer console. I activated it and it seems to work, as in the game I have the "new" UI for the starting menu (where you can switch to the one of the release version). Just in the game the console won't open when I hit Tilde (or whatever). I have a german keyboard layout, so it is always a tad tricky with special keys (Backslash). I tried to re-bind the console key Engine\BaseInput.ini -> ConsoleKey to other things the UE should understand ("Comma", "Period", "Divide" etc), but no matter how much I hit the button, that damned console won't open. Can anyone help? PS: Of course I made a typo in the title. :D Edited May 22, 2013 by Falloutdownload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokauk Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 What steps have you taken to activate the developer console? Note that the Developer Shell option in ToolBoks will not activate the console, they are different. Although, unlocking the dev console via another method will also enable the dev shell, but not vice versa. I have intentionally not included the dev console in ToolBoks to avoid abuse of it in multiplayer. If you're not referring to the Developer Shell in ToolBoks and have activated the shell and console by another method, then backslash "\" (next to "Z" if that helps) should bring up a small bar at the bottom of the screen. I'm not sure what key it would be with a German keyboard layout though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amineri Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Getting the developer console to work involves following the steps on here : http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/How_to_enable_the_XCOM_developer_shell The page is a badly written page (pretty much just a copy-paste from a forum post), but I've used the hex-edits to get the developer console working. Sorry for the poor page-naming ... I didn't get the difference between the shell and the console at first either :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the poor page-naming ... I didn't get the difference between the shell and the console at first either :smile: I hadn't been aware of the distinction myself. I'll move the content to a properly named page and put something in it's place to make the distinction clearer. I'll update this post when it's done. Edit: 'How to enable the XCOM developer shell' now correctly refers only to the Shell, and 'Developer Console - XCOM:EU 2012' has the previous content of 'shell' and been expanded with a linked list of the console commands that have been tested. Screenshot have been added to both which should also help with the distinction. -Dubious- Edited May 23, 2013 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falloutdownload Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ahhh, now that explains a lot. I could have saved myself a lot of fiddling yesterday. Thank you very much! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
