[Oasis]

• Go to your "Steam Library"
  
• Right-click the game
  
• Click "Properties"
  
• Click "Set Launch Options"
  
• Type in -console

The console will now open every time you open the game.

you can also enable it via the options in the menu withing dod:s.
its under keyboard -> advanced.

This does not work for all keyboards.

Yeah....that's what putting it in launch options does. Someone else just posted this a few hours ago and I answered with how to make sure there's a key bind for it in the config file:

steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\dod\cfg

Open the config.cfg file with Notepad

In Notepad's menu Edit > Find: toggleconsole
(to see if it exists or not)

It should say:

bind "`" "toggleconsole"

In source games yes.
See the above and change the key in the quotes after 'bind' to what you want the console to be. Keep in mind you have to choose a key that's not already used in the game. If you choose a key that's already used it's either going to do both at the same time or nothing at all or it might even crash the game.

The above is how to hard code your keybinds. There isn't going to be a warning like in game options when you're changing the keys that pops up to let you know "That key is already used for ****"."

Example:

bind "K" "toggleconsole"

This will change the console key to K.

There isn't an option in the keyboard menu to set the console key so you can't change it either. Another way to change your keybinds is through the console but if you can't launch the console to do it...your only other option to set the console key is through the config file.

The above is how to hard code your keybinds in the config file. There's actually a whole boat load of things you can do with keybinds such as you can set automated voice commands and phrases the characters in the game yell like "Bazooka!" or "Flank Right", "Get over here!", "Go, Go, Go!" etc to a single key stroke. There isn't going to be a warning like in game options when you're changing the keys that pops up to let you know "That key is already used for ****"."

Example:

bind "K" "toggleconsole"

This will change the console key to K.

In dod:s I have my keys set up that certain keyboard keys do multiple things toward team play like if I hit K it throws my location on the map into team text chat as well as "Come get the flag!", and my character yells "I need help over here!"

If interested I would be glad to share my config file with all my binds and explain them. Easier to read than this...
