Reinstalled, Now Console Doesn't Work

by Erik Nelson · in Torque Game Builder · 04/16/2009 (8:20 pm) · 3 replies

I recently had to replace my computer and after re-downloading and installing TGB, I was no longer able to access the console while running any games in the engine. It made no difference between new or old, backed up projects. In addition to the console issues, TGB is not correctly adjusting my game's resolution when it loads - it sticks to the default 800x600.

Both this computer and the old one have the same operating system and as far as I can tell, all of the file structures are the same as they were before. I can't figure out what might be causing this. I'm at my wit's end trying to figure this out...has anyone else encountered this?

Is the keyboard mapping correct, when you press the console key in a text editor application do you get the correct character?

I have the same problem. I can get neither ` nor ~ to work.

I try " moveMap.bind(keyboard, tilde, ToggleConsole);" and that does nothing as well.

Then for kicks I tried binding it to "1" instead and that worked just great except that I can't close it because it will just type 1. I can close it using CTRL-~.

I'm trying this right now on a brand new project with nothing else in it, but I've had this problem with other projects as well.

I have not been able to replicate this in any instance on any OS or machine at my disposal. I know that many of the people seeing thus are using standard US keyboards on similar machines and OS's to what I'm using, but I can't get mine to do it. I've even had people zip their dir's and send it to me...nothing.

I really wish I could isolate it.
