Is there a way to change the key that opens the console? Too many times I've tried to hit the 1 button to switch to primary weapon and hit the ~ key, whatever it's called. the console opens and the game comes to a stop. The normal /bind key commamd dosent seem to work unless im using the wrong comm, but it recognises open console. Any ideas?

sadly, I don't think you can. I know in one or two games I've played if you dig into the .cfgs you can change it, but not in ET

meh, i feel yah toe, i have been doing that more and more lately too, dunno why...but ugh its frustrating.

I actually used to do it a bit (along with hitting 3 instead of 1) so I just learned to use the mouse wheel really fast.

I put it on the mouse wheel, primary is mouse down and secondary is mouse up. I cant go to far and get lost in the weapons that way, it works good. I disabled weapon switching with the mouse wheel a few weeks ago beacase I was experiencing a really weird bug where my weapon would switch all by itself at really weird times. I searched the forums and couldn't find anything about it. I was getting ready to reinstall the game and post about it and declare the new bug The Toe Bug, since I was obvously the first, I thought it my right. Thats when I figured out it was because my keyboard batteries were dead (omg).

Pry the tilde (`) button from the keyboard with a knife so that you don't inadvertently hit it when switching weapons. Then, assuming you have a mouse with extra buttons, remap the tilde to one of those. You might want to map the key before you pry.

Trauma, you give the greatest advice, ever.

Wait, HOLY SHEET ITS TRAUMAHAWK!


Where the hell have you been?!

Just really really busy in real life lately. Never worry, the "hawk" lurks around every corner keeping a vigilant eye on the forums (causing trouble as always). Let me know if you need anything.
