Console button change (again)

**xzyx** · April 05, 2009, 07:09 PM

Anyone has any idea on how to change the button to open the console?

on rome you could change a "descr_shortcut" file to make it possible to change the button, but no idea on how to make it on MIITW. So anyone there knows?

Before anyone posts anything useless:

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU POST, THE BUTTON TO OPEN MY CONSOLE IS NOT ~, IT IS '. Don't make useless posts saying "just press ~ man"

It's still ` on my US keyboard.

Before getting cranky, have you checked the medieval2.preferences.cfg yourself?

**xzyx** · April 06, 2009, 05:04 PM

Yeah I did. Tough there's an option to disable the console, I found none to change the button.

As for being cranky, the alst thread I made on this for RTW) got nearly 2 pages of answers "In my keyboard it's ~ or ´, isn't it in yours?", and eventually figured it out myself. But I'm no modder and medieval goes beyond me on this subject.

We did have this dicussion in RTW tech. With all the wars in the Empire forums right now, you maybe in in for a l o n g wait.

Since this is beyond US/UK keyboards and US/UK game language, try Google to see if it shows up in a hundred other gaming sites.

data\text\descr_shortcuts.txt; line 185 and 372;
show_console GRAVE_ACCENT hidden

not sure what line 684 means:
show_console object_manager

Dahnn you're going to call me an imbecile but I can't find that file...That was the file for RTW, are you sure it also works for MIITW?

**Gigantus** · April 08, 2009, 09:07 AM

It was in my data\text folder (after unpacking). I am certain I didn't take it from RTW.

It might BE the RTW file, but I am not sure.

after unpacking? what do you mean?

**Gigantus** · April 16, 2009, 08:35 PM

1. Go to tools\unpacker.
2. Read the ReadMe file about the two files you have to delete after unpacking.
3. Click\run unpack_all.bat, type y and press enter three times when prompted.
4. Make a coffee, read the newspaper. Once you are finished with that the game will be unpacked.
5. Don't forget point 2!

Now look for the file mentioned in earlier posts.
