Title: Console on MAC
Post by: pullox on July 23, 2007, 02:38:28 AM
Hi, thank you very much for the Game! Good Job!

The Games is running very good on my Apple but i just can't find the Console or a *cfg file to edit some special things I need. Anyone can Help me?

Hit the tilde ~ key to open the console. Tho I'm confused as to what to type in there, I get an error each time I try to input a Quake 3 code in there and it says on my local machien cheats not enabled on this server.

you're right: on some keyboard configurations (like, for example, the "italian" one, wich i'm using...) you can't use the console immediately.
To access it open the file /Users/youruser/Library/Application Support/OpenArena/baseoa/q3config.cfg with a text editor (TextEdit will be fine), search for "toggleconsole" and change the "binded" key, then save.
For example i have
Code:
bind < "toggleconsole"
, so i can access to the console with the key "<". If you want to access to the console with the "c" key you'll have
Code:
bind c "toggleconsole"
and so on...

also, remember that on os x (i'm not sure on windows and linux...) you need to be in a map to open the console (you can't open it while in the menu. or, if you can, i don't know how to do it).
