I wish this did some kind of NOOP instead of quitting.I am hitting the tidle key accidentally on my laptop quite a lot (when trying to bring up pipboy), having the game exit just makes a bad problem worse.
well the main use i have for the console, is the `tcl command. using a higher jump mod, i often find myself stuck and unable to get out of it. also `tfc allows you to take screen shots of your PC if you should want to. one does not have to use the ` to cheat, thats what the G.E.C.K. is for lol. cheers pal
in the last 3 years, i hit tilde for a mistake one or two times. Anyway, like every mod, you use it if you like. When i was kid most of the computer games had a difficult near to impossible, there was no internet to look how to do, and completing a game was an enterprise. Was not important what you find at the end of the run, but what you feel when running. If i had cheat codes at that time, i probably would have ruined all the fun. You cant pretend that kids are disciplined, at the first difficulty they cheat. And after the cheat follows the lost of interest. For this reason, i sentenced that my kids dont have to cheat.
If you don't want to use the console, don't. If your kids are taking advantage of the console, maybe they don't appreciate the game the way you do, but you don't need to force them to experience it the way you want it to be experienced.
"This is the only way i found to disable the console: when you press the key, the game quits."
You've never accidentally hit the tilde key? Why is the solution to your problem to kill the program if you hit the wrong key? I would normally appreciate something that fulfilled its purpose, even if I don't agree with it, but this isn't a fix.
This is like there's a handyman who could either use a power wrench or a regular wrench to accomplish this goal of tightening a bolt. You want him to use the regular wrench so he fully appreciates the effort that went into the job and how each bolt tightened is a miniature work of art, so you shoot him in the foot every time he reaches for the power wrench.
Tnx. I've found that this works also when the game hangs; instead of rebooting the PC you press the console key.
If you read the link i posted before, you see that is not pointless to disable the console. This game is already too easy, and cheating (which is the most common use of the console) makes the game boring and pointless.
programmers do not decide if you have to use the console or not; is available because simply they don't care
i really dont see any point in this if thay didint want us to use the console thay would have disabled it themselfs and a few mods need the console to run
