Default Need help with Half Life 2...........

I've been having a major headache trying to get the ingame console to work!

Since I stopped playing this like a year ago I have forgotten how to alter the cfg.file.....

Any help is welcome!

To get the console all you should need to do is to hit the ~ key on the keyboard. I think you might need to go into the options and configure something to allow the console to be shown.

What exactly do you want to edit in the cfg file, more specifically, are you wanting to add your own cfg file and then load that when playing a game?

An example of a cfg file I've used is as follows:

Code:
sv_cheats 1
buddha 1
sk_max_crossbow 9999
sk_max_grenade 9999
sk_max_pistol 9999
sk_max_ar2 9999
sk_max_ar2_altfire 2000
sk_max_rpg_round 9999
sk_max_buckshot 9999
sk_max_smg1_grenade 9999
sk_max_smg1 9999
sv_infinite_aux_power 1
bind h "give item_healthkit"
bind c "give item_battery"
bind v "impulse 101"
I named it my.cfg and placed it in C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/YourSteamAccountName/half-life 2/hl2/cfg/

To get your config loaded, open the console up and type:

exec NameOfYourCFGFile

Thanks!

I wanted to sort out the rates and tweak some other stuff to help reduce the "crap" onscreen during the game.

I was having issues with the keyboard, and the cfg. The "~" was not working and only after several attempts did the cfg. get working propely !

Thanks for the tip
