@@qyuetx Not an answer, but speaking of Portal 2, you can use "fire_rocket_projectile" without enabling cheats! Best use I found is in smashing monitors. I also fckn HATE how limited the fov commands are! Some people go as far as to edit the dll files, which I don't think is a good idea when VAC checks them.

I love games that let you access the console. Older CoDs let you access the console as well, but later on they locked it down. I'm replaying some of the older (and newer) CoDs right now and being able to use the console via custom clients is super nice. To change the FOV/scale, make toggle binds for the background music and so on. I also always use "status" in L4D2 to check what server I've joined.

@qyuetx Ай бұрын

You're on point bro it's so convenient, I can't play Valorant there's no console, on CS2 I feel at home, I knew COD started on Id Tech 3 but didn't know the console was accessible, thx for telling me.

@imaginarymenageriemanager6303 Ай бұрын

@@qyuetx Yup. They left the console unlocked till I believe W@W (CoD5). MW2 already has it locked, but via mods/custom clients you can access it again. In Titanfall 2 you can also use the console via launch command. Tf2 is a great game too for messing around with the console and general modding. You can mod some of the textures and text in the game. Custom ejection lines for the titans, custom ammo/gun status displays on some of the guns and so on. Good video btw.

1:33 "It didn't feature a developer console" Actually... Maybe they didn't have a "Visible" developer console as we know today but Doom did have Commands to use for the game and many more options. For example in MSDOS before starting a game you could put commands called "Parameters" where you can for put the skill you want to play on, select the episode, to record a demo, play with a friend in lan joining by a command, configuration and more... Obviously most of these were obsolete when source-ports appeared but that there was commands, there were.

@qyuetx Ай бұрын

Valid point, I didn't think of mentioning command line arguments which at least from Quake can input console commands like +map start and I didn't include the need of -console on retail versions of Half-Life being necessary because how many people really have a retail copy?

@Spartanhero613 Ай бұрын

cli arguments are cli arguments, not a developer console. also, config was done through the program "setup". although the network stack it relied on utilised virtual networks, I wouldn't really call the multiplayer LAN-only either

@tauon_ Ай бұрын

@@Spartanhero613 each command-line argument is still a command though, which is a predecessor to the command console, so the original comment is not wrong in any way.

2:49 actually it's pretty simple. The green console is what Half-life got when it got updated and released on Steam because that's what the original UI for Steam also looked like. Back in the day if you had a CD Key of Half-Life 1 you could activate it on Steam and get a Steam copy and you still can activate a WON key to this very day. I have an original WON (World Opponent Network) physical copy of half-life patched to the last version you could get for the disc copy. So if we're talking about the "classic" console then that would be the WON version which also has the beautiful animated main menu art that they finally added back with the 25th anniversary update.

@qyuetx 16 күн бұрын

It sounds backwards to call the VGUI console the classic one but that's what most people are used to right? 2003 to now is way longer than 1998 to 2003, I understand your point tho, if you played since WON the slide console probably feels classic to you and you're not wrong for that.

1:36 This doesn't affect the video at all but it's interesting to note that according to John Romero, Quake started with a clean codebase i.e. they didn't reuse any code from Doom, meaning there's no technical connection between idTech 1 and 2 besides being made by the same people. ☝🤓 Source: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gayqnKWX26eqnoE.htmlm4s

The HL1 console was changed with the Steam version of the game. It replaced all the UI elements with VGUI, backported from Source. Also, the answer to the FOV question is default_fov in Goldsource and fov_desired in Source.

I was hoping to hear some context on Carmack's inclusion of a console at all, I still never figured out whether it was common for games of the time, whether it was directly inspired by vim/emacs, or what. Also, "I.D. Tech" lol

The love of my life... the color option has been a feature around since source i guess? Basically theres the normal Msg function that outputs with white color, Warning function that outputs messages with yellow color and Error function that outputs to the console with redcolor. But theres also the ConColorMsg which lets you use whatever color you want. The real fun is that all of these are exported making it extremely trivial to find and call em externally to make it output whatever you want
