Please assist me in getting the console to work :)

[GrimrockFan]

Thanks Minmay,

Boy, Mac does not make this easy. After further effort, I was able to unhide the folders and get to the Legend of Grimrock folder and open the CFG file with sublime text. I changed console from false to true (the console key was already at 220. So I originally changed console = false to console = true, saved the file, launched grimrock, press \ and nothing. Press / and nothing, press ~ and nothing. So I figured the window sizes were bad, so I adjusted the file further, and still nothing:

console = true
consoleKey = 220
windowPosX = 10
windowPosY = 10
editorWindowPosX = 10
editorWindowPosY = 10
editorWindowWidth = 80
editorWindowHeight = 42

I am at a loss as to why this is not working yet. Sorry I am such a pain. Thank you all for your efforts!

I don't have the Mac version (or a recent Mac), but perhaps try the value 192 instead of 220
Use the tilde key for the console; it's above TAB, left of the 1 key, and looks like this: ~

*Otherwise, perhaps this can be of help: http://web.archive.org/web/201005011614 ... yboard.php

Thanks guys, I'll give this a shot tonight!

Well I have tried several times. I completely uninstall LOG (with app cleaner), manually remove the Almost Human folder, run CCleaner and then I reinstall with my .dmg file, launch the game (and tell the mac to trust it) and once it's loaded I quit the game. I go to the /users/john/library'application support/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock folder and I see a fresh grimrock.cfg file.
I open the file with sublimetext and edit it. When I am done, this is what it looks like:

-- options
resolution = "1280 x 800"
displayMode = 1
verticalSync = 2
renderingQuality = 1
textureResolution = 2
textureFilter = 3
shadowQuality = 3
ssaoQuality = 3
muteMusic = false
muteSounds = false
musicVolume = 0.8
soundVolume = 0.8
arrowIcons = false
disableDamageTexts = false
hideItemProperties = false
mouseLook = true
invertX = false
invertY = false
autoSave = true
tabletMode = false
cameraBobbing = true
tooltipDelay = 0
maxFrameRate = 120
debugInfo = false
console = true
consoleKey = 192
windowPosX = nil
windowPosY = nil
editorWindowPosX = nil
editorWindowPosY = nil
editorWindowWidth = nil
editorWindowHeight = nil

-- key bindings
move_forward = 87
move_backward = 83
strafe_left = 65
strafe_right = 68
turn_left = 81
turn_right = 69
rest = 82
map = 9
character_sheet_1 = 49
character_sheet_2 = 50
character_sheet_3 = 51
character_sheet_4 = 52
quick_save = 116
quick_load = 119

-- editor key bindings
select_tool = 49
add_object_tool = 50
draw_walls_tool = 51
nudge_up = 87
nudge_down = 83
nudge_left = 65
nudge_right = 68
rotate_left = 81
rotate_right = 69
delete = 46
set_starting_location = 89
prev_level = 33
next_level = 34
start_preview = 116
stop_preview = 4212
toggle_fullscreen = 8262
toggle_collisions = 112
open_door = 90
kill_monster = 75
heal_party = 72

I save it and launch the game again. I press ~ (tilde) and nothing happens. I try \ and / as well for the heck of it. Nothing happens. Does anyone have any clue what could be wrong? Sorry I am such a pain!

[Dr.Disaster]

On Mac the consoleKey value 192 might not be ~
On PC key value 192 is ` (grave accent)

Goto https://www.cambiaresearch.com/articles ... -key-codes and see which value is returned when you type ~ into the "Try it" text box.

btw: you are running LoG v1.3.7, right?

[GrimrockFan]

Try it says 192. Yep, 1.3.7...

[Dr.Disaster]

Well .. my MacPro says for him 192 is ´ and not ~

Can you try a different key value from the given list like 119 for F8 key (that's what i use)?

[GrimrockFan]

Hi Dr. -I tried 119 and nothing. It just occurred to me. Could this be an encoding issue? Should this file be saved as straight text, or something else?

Hi Dr. -I tried 119 and nothing. It just occurred to me. Could this be an encoding issue? Should this file be saved as straight text, or something else?

Here's an idea:
1) In the Grimrock Options menu, set the "Map" key to whatever key you want to use for the console
Then close Grimrock
2) Open grimrock.cfg and copy the number from
map = ???
to
consoleKey = ???
3) In the Grimrock Options menu, set the "Map" key back to what it was before step 1
