Is there a way to dissable console?

(ENDgie) #1

I often accidentally open console in game. I have tried rebinding but it reset after a short period of time and I don’t like digging in the config files to do it. Is there a way to turn console off? If not I would love for that to be added to the options menu.

I know you’ve said you don’t want to mess around with the configs but it really is a simple fix. I have the same problem as it defaults to my apostrophe/@ key as I’m on a UK layout keyboard which makes typing annoying in game.

All you have to do is go to C:\Users\This PC\Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\ShooterGame\Config

Open ShooterInput.ini, pres CTRL+F, type in “console” (without quotations) and it should be your second result just underneath the [Engine.Console] header. Change this to whatever you want. I’ve changed mine to End as it’s far enough away to not be accidentally hit in game

it might reset after some updates though

That’s definitely going to happen with updates but it’s that quick of a job that I don’t bother with making it Read Only to prevent changes. Once you’ve done it a couple of times it literally takes less than a minute to do

@rascallyInroad I recommend that you favorite this post and/or this page so that it will be easy to access for reference when you do need to redo it.

Why I didn’t want to do it again :stuck_out_tongue:
also another issue is I don’t know what names db uses for numberpad keys.
