Turning off console

Post » Sun Sep 04, 2011 2:33 pm

Hello guys,

Is there anyway to turn off in-game console which you activate by pressing ~ actually I need this because it cause a lot of trouble while you're in multiplayer, as you know that during intense fight you need to select grenade or switch between guns... all this is done by a single key which "1", when you double tap it you select grenade otherwise you switch between guns so during tough fights when you quickly try to press 1 you sometime press ~ accidentally and that console becomes your death warrant so I want to disable it.

I don't want to change "1" key because I am used to it, so any way I can disable this annoyance.

Thanks.

Disabling the tilde key before launching the game does seem to be the only ticket -- the old sys_DeactivateConsole doesn't work...

Yes I tried sys_DeactivateConsole but it was not working, I was thinking that maybe I am doing it wrong. They should include console key in rebind key options so user can assign a different key to console.

Well it seems we're unlucky here because the tilde key is still working in game and it activates console, its disabled in Windows but some how game reads it perfectly. I will try other methods and see it they succeed.

Ok that svcks...

Another solution is to write an AutoHotKey script which remaps the ~ key to an unused key like "p". you can do that in 5 minutes...

Here is my AHK Thread, it should help you to make your first script:

https://secure.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=34056&hilit=ahk

Here is the official help -> remapping keys

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm

So a simple script would look like this:

~::p

So if the script is active a "~" keystroke will turned into a "p" keystroke

@Blutaar:
A better idea would be something like this:
Code:
~::
return ;)
Simple but effective!

Yeah after reading the whole remapping keys page I understand that too ;) Thx DHMH

btw. are you working with AHK too? Would be great to know an expert at this...

How about:

WinWait, ahk_class CryENGINE,
IfWinNotActive, ahk_class CryENGINE, , WinActivate, ahk_class CryENGINE,
WinWaitActive, ahk_class CryENGINE,

~::
return


like this, the script would be active at crysis only
