Console commands

Post by versora »

I would like to know if it is at all possible to access console commands in Grimrock 1. I already know how to do so in Grimrock 2.

I read the same thing could be done for Grimrock 1 but when I looked at said file there were no console options in the CGF file. So I'm wondering if there isn't another way.

It's off by default, but otherwise done the same way afaik.

Here are instructions by the developer:
by petri:

To enable the console all you have to do is to change/add the following lines to the config file at Documents/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock/grimrock.cfg:

console = true
consoleKey = 192 --uses tilde as console key

It works for me, but note you don't add the two lines, you modify two lines around line 26 that are already there turning it off.

I have no idea why 192 should make the backtick\tilde key be the key to turn it on, that's not the ascii code for those, but it works.

This [excerpt] is from my own grimrock.cfg file:

Code: Select all

console = true
consoleKey = 220
In my case the console key is the back-slash and pipe key; " \| ", just below the Backspace key, and above the return/enter key.

The location of my own grimrock.cfg file is:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock\grimrock.cfg
