Console

[DeathReaper]

Yus i know how to open it ._. , but i dunno why , trem 1.2 wont open , i redownloaded it and everything but the stupid console doesnt open , help?:/

If for some reason the console won't open, you can open it by pressing Shift + Esc, to put it back to the default bind, you can try putting the following into console, or your autogen.cfg

Code Select Expand

bind ` toggleconsole
bind ~ toggleconsole

More recent versions of Tremulous break several keys on particular keyboards which makes them unbindable and unusable.

Thanks that opened my console but i had to use a different key :/ , And yeah like half of my keys are broken o.O :/

[DeathReaper]

Anyway i could fix that? Or no?:/ I mean i had 1.2 earlier but on accident , all my keys worked though , now almost all my symbols dont work

[DeathReaper]

Anyone?

 Can you explain exactly what is wrong with the keys?  When you press a key, does it activate different bindes than you intended? Or does it not work at all?  Also, does this happen only with trem or same thing happens with other programs?  And what exactly was the Accident that caused this?

Okay so ive played trem 1.1 for about 4 years , all the keys press what they should , console opens fine and it works perfectly . I just downloaded 1.2 off here and i can play fine but ~ doesnt work (They actual key) so console doesnt open , all the Letters and Numbers work just fine but the symbols like [ ] will be one key farther down then usual Example ; will be on " key when i press it , everyother program works perfectly fine , just on 1.2 some keys are 1 button off and some just dont even work D:

Had to dig up an old irc conversation:

Bit of talk about clients
May 24 22:44:31 <StalKermit>   Because all the keyboard keys work on it
May 24 22:44:55 <kevlarman>   StalKermit: wrong
May 24 22:45:01 <kevlarman>   it's just broken in a different way
May 24 22:45:21 <StalKermit>   I like using apostophes and squiglys
May 24 22:45:39 <StalKermit>   So I prefer the tjw one
May 24 22:45:48 <kevlarman>   StalKermit: basically we have to wait for sdl1.3 for proper dead key support
May 24 22:46:19 <StalKermit>   Would that be before or after 1.2?
May 24 22:46:32 <kevlarman>   StalKermit: at this rate, before
May 24 22:46:38 <StalKermit>   \o/
May 24 22:47:16 <kevlarman>   StalKermit: also if you're on windows you get WM_INPUT instead of dinput

Are you using the binds from the 1.1? It is my understanding that many of the commands have been changed.  You will probably have to redo the binds for 1.2.
I have no suggestions for key shifting.  Make sure that you are pressing the actual key and not pressing the SHIFT while pressing it.  If all else fails you can always do fresh install of trem.    Also, you could try different client such as segfault.  Sorry, couldn't help you more.

If some key does not work you can try binding it through the in game menu to see what it is called.
