Doom 3 cheats

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.doom (More info?)

Hello

I'm sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't find a
solution. I'm trying to activate the console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+~
during a game, but nothing happens. I'm running Doom on a PC, with
windows XP and I'm in the UK. Can anyone offer any advice how to
input cheats?

In your doom3 main folder, create a text file (notepad), name it
autoexec.cfg and put this line in it:
seta com_allowConsole "1"

Now when you run the game, just hit the key right below ESC and the
console will open.

+Thank You McGrandpa. You've made an oldish man very happy!

Incidentally, thanks to your advice I've discovered that I needed to
press ctrl+alt+the key below the escape key. The tilde key on my
keyboard (UK) is above the shift key on the right hand side of the key
board, which is perhaps why the ctrl+alt+~ didn't work.

Once again, thanks!

No prob! Glad it worked btw: over the years in these game ng's,
I'd found that usually at least half the folks are in the UK. A UK
keyboard is a little different than a US keyboard. In Quake1, 2 and 3,
we all found that the right key is the one right under the ESC key, no
matter what's printed on it! So telling someone which key it is
this way works for a lot more people.
Enjoy the game! I'm a little over halfway through it myself. I'm
enjoying it immensely a little bit at a time.
McG.

If I recall correctly, it's CTRL+ALT+` for a UK keyboard.

It *is* a real pain in the butt for foreign keyboards to access the
game's console.

well, really all you have to do is make a bind in the autoexec.cfg for
it, then you use just that one key to open the console
