Console is a window for receiving commands and displaying system messages, which was originally used for debugging computer games. In graphic games, the console is present for easier access to settings, since in some cases, it is inconvenient to use only the menu system to enter commands. After the completion of the work, developers, as a rule, leave simple gamers access to the settings. So how do you open the console in the game?
Instructions
Step 1
In different games it is different, but most often the key " or "tilde", which is located in the upper left corner of the keyboard, is responsible for this. Sometimes "Tab", "Enter" or "Y". However, the "Y" key in online games is mostly used for communication. In other cases, the console is called by pressing several keys simultaneously: "CTRL2" + "TAB", "SHIFT" + "TAB", "CTRL" + "SHIFT" + "C", "SHIFT" + ", "CTRL" + " Or function keys (F1-F12).
Step 2
In some cases, in order to open the console, you must first enable it. Team Fortress 2 example: Settings -> Keyboard -> Advanced -> Enable Developer Console. In games based on the Source engine (Half-Life 2, Portal), the console is specified in the "path" item in the shortcut, for example, "… half-life / hl2.exe" –console. In some cases, the console is activated through a game configuration file, which usually has a "cfg" extension. Half-Life 2 example: open config.cfg with notepad and add bind "` " console "at the end.
