 Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2006 2:46 pm Post subject: Console Key Bind |
 |
|
I've been trying to change the key that triggers the console (the full one, window in Gold, slides down in the original) to no avail. Currently it it bound to the @' key on my Keyboard but I've tried looking in User.ini but failed to find anything. I want to change it because it currently conflicts when I want/need to type a ' down such as for instance when you want to buy iron boots (for which you need to type down a ').
A quick response on the matter would be apprechiated.

I dont think this is possible, as the Tilde button is checked within the console.
| Code: | case IK_Tilde:
if (bShowConsole)
{
HideConsole();
if(bQuickKeyEnable)
CloseUWindow();
}
else
ShowConsole();
|
(copied from WindowConsole)
But this is from 226, i do not know how Gold looks like, but i think it simmilar.

How can you not type the saying for Iron Boots?  I have no problem when typing it in a prompt. What you seemed to have mentioned is the use of the tilde key in a prompt, and that is different then the quote key for the apostrophe in the Iron Boots saying.
If you must be able to use the tilde key in a message then you can create a pre-made message keybind in a txt file or directly from the INI file. Typing a realtime message using that key doesn't appear possible because as SoulReaver has shown it is hardcoded to controlling the console display. It terms of visual characters the tilde and the quote key are the same in unreal using their primary punctuation so I don't see a reason to need it.

I don't understand a bit of the iron boots trouble.
At my computer it fully works as intended: open console with tilde, type rcheckall to learn the 'saying' for iron boots, and type the saying. Where does the trouble begin at your computer??

I just found an unusual workaround to the problem. With the console showing, I am able to input the required apostrophe for the iron boots command by pressing Alt + Tilde. Though when I press that the console dissappears, by pressing it again it comes back up, and the apostrophe is present. I've tested this on the HyperCoop server and it works.
If the choice of keyboard could affect this then I am using a standard UK keyboard, which is slightly different from the US layout.

Appearently Unreal doesn't have good key mapping for keyboards that aren't based on US/International. The UK keyboard layout separates the apostrophe and quote on two different keys with the tilde next to enter. Also, it looks like this could be a problem for the many other country layouts.

I suppose it's better not to use any punctuation or symbols in a RESAY message.

Ah, this clears things up. I never knew about the uk and other non-us keyboard problems because I use us-int myself.
I'll change the saying.
By the way: I remember of another weird keyboard related problem with the console (UGold): When using us-int you usually get a " `" character typed in the console when you start typing. This is due to the delayed 'accent' function of this key. (For example, " `" + " e " makes " é ".)
I fixed this once by designing a new custom keyboard layout with the accent function for the tilde key removed.
