Can't figure out what button opens console command...

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 5:05 pm

Maybe I'm just stupid, or console command accually doesn't exist on my range of buttons on my keyboard. Thw UESPwiki says most keyboards have it left to the 1 button, and well, on my 1 button to left is this button: § ?.. And my toher 1 button has up arrow key there.
Then I read further and the UESPwiki said it is ~ button that is console commands... But that switches my weapons or spells or something.

What button is the right one? (i've tried them all, none works), so do I nead to have Alt Gr in or something or maybe only Alt? I have no idea.

Please help if you have any idea what I might be doing wrong here :)

If you have MGE, you can make macro that will open up the console. Go tio Input > Macro Edito, select a key and select Console1, thats all.

MGE= Morrowind graphics extender? I havn't downloaded that particular mod. However I have installed the unofficial patch 1.9, found from the thread repairing the cogs of Morrowind thread 22. And also better heads mod from another place.

Is it that what is causing this? The mod 1.9, maybe removing the console command? That would be harsh :P

Yes, MGE is Morrowind Graphics Extender.

And no, as far as I know MCP 1.9 does not change anything with console.

damn, seems i'm screwed. Where is the normal button located? Maybe you could give me a link to a picture of a keyboard similar to the one you use and highlight with a red circle which of them opens your console command? Maybe it could help me figure out what i'm doing wrong.. (ps: this is my first PC game i'm playing that has console command, but no mtter what button I press, nothing happens)

http://www.fentek-ind.com/images/l_kbusbb2.jpg button that opens up command console is left to 1, over TAB button. Mine is very similar, but there are differen key layouts in different countires. I would suggest downloading MGE, you do not need to enable any of it's graphic features.

I have a Finnish keyboard too, and on mine the console is opened with the § / ? key on the left of 1. :)

That image Minamir posted is exactly the button where we two have the § ? button. BUT: it didn't work when I pressed it. Nothing happened at all. I'll got ry this one more time but I'm pretty sure it won't work.

After pressing it in a million different ways nothing still ahppened. I tried pressing ti, double pressing it, keeping it down, keeping it down a start writing command, resulting in my character taking a few step left and saying hihii.

Right now i'm feeling like :swear: at my computer for not wanting to open up console commands... And it didn't accept my PS3 (non dual shock) controler either for me to play Morrowind with a more comfortable option for me, and now this console commnad thing.. Oh great. :ahhh:

I followed all the suggestions that 5 star answer gave, but there is nothing in the HID thing.. Just great.

Install MGE and use the macro function. It's very easy to do.

You don't have to use MGE for anything else if you don't want. The default settings will make no difference to your game (except you can use macros and it comes with MWSE installed, so that's handy too)

I don't know if this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252 is useful, but it shows my swedish keyboard in Windows. :read:

I also agree with Pluto to install http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1150836-morrowind-graphics-extender-mge/ just for the macro feature. :yes:
I've the latest MGE installed on Windows7 64-bit without any issue so far. This is how I installed MGE on my computer.

1 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9cfb2d51-5ff4-4491-b0e5-b386f32c0992&displaylang=en and reboot
2 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/morrgraphext/files/Beta%20Releases/MGE%203.8%2B%20SVN%20builds/mge3.8.2-rev.0178.7z/download and extract to Morrowind folder
3 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d
4 - start Morrowind and when you see the main menu just exit
5 - double click on MGEgui.exe in the Morrowind folder (use run as admin on Vista/Windows7 if needed) and in the Input tab click on the "Launch marco editor"

If you're through the steps 1-5 without any problem and that means the MGE is working properly. :)

And if none of that works, try a different keyboard. That was what I had to eventually do - for some bizarre reason even remapping with MGE didn't work for me. Of course, I wanted a different keyboard anyway, or I might have tried using something else to remap the tilde.
