try going into your keyboard advanced options and enabling it then press `

 

[Rim-Fire]

Go into your options menu. Keyboard -> Advanced -> Enable developer console.

When playing hit the button bellow Esc to open the console.

sv_cheats 1

All weapons:
impulse 101

Spawn jeep:
impulse 82

Spawn airboat:
impulse 83

Ghost mode:
noclip

Can't die:
buddha

Slow-mo physics:

Secret weapon (Episode 1 only):

Slow-mo physics:
phys_timescale 0.5

For added slowmo hawtness, use:
mat_yuv 1

Other cool things:

impulse 203 (delete whatever you're looking at - useful when being mobbed by antlions)
notarget (NPCs can't see you - enemies don't shoot, squads don't follow)
impulse 101 (give all weapons+ammo)
sv_infinite_aux_power 1 (your sprint/flashlight/oxygen power never runs out)

Gravity gun stuff:
physcannon_mega_enabled # (1 to enable or 0 to disable the super (blue) gravity gun; only tested in Episode One and Lost Coast)
With all these, if you're using the super gravity gun, add a "_mega" after "physcannon", e.g. "physcannon_mega_cone".
physcannon_maxmass # (default somewhere around 500; increase to let you grab bigger stuff)
physcannon_tracelength # (default somewhere around 250; increase to let you pull things from farther away)
physcannon_cone # (default 0.3ish; increase to enlarge the area around your crosshair from which stuff can be pulled)
physcannon_pullforce # (default ?; increase to let you pull things harder/faster)

Just a side note - even with these settings available, there's a reason you can only push the cars around. Do -not- try to grab APCs or your jeep; the physics engine will go nuts and the game will crash.

That was supposed to be fixed ages ago :|

Anyway, if you really get into this Command Console-ing, see if there are still any bd_ (build) maps up on HL2DM. Awesome times

supposed to be

Yeah... about a month ago, I tried grabbing an APC in the middle of Route Kanal - one frame of it flying towards me, then a crash. Could've been the crappy comp I was using, but I've had the jeep cause the same on a nicer rig too.

I have some problems with this; I've done anything i can, and I still can't get the console up

It might have something to do with me being from sweden, got diffrent keyboard, but not all to diffrent, still got that key under escape.

Someone help me please!

 

[Pauly]

make sure you go - Options -> keyboard ->Advance -> enable dev console..

then hit the "`/~" key next to number 1.


it should work on a german keyboard(assuming you have a german keyboard)

It's your lucky day!
I'm from sweden to and I know how to enable it.

Go to your hl2 folder and find your config.cfg-file.
open it with wordpad an add this:

bind "\" toggelconsole

save and exit. (make a backup if you're afraid to f-k things up)

the console should now be under the same key as in Swedish-hl1/CS (the paragraph-button . since the english "\" is our "paragraph"-button.)

If you want your console in other source games as well, mods etc, you have to edit their config.cfg-files as well.

------

if you don't want to edit you config-files you can edit the "launch properties". simply right click on you hl2 icon (or any other source mod) and hit properties. then click launch-options.. add this in the field:

-console

Now the background map won't load (saving you a bit of time) and the console will pup up.

but if you accidentally close the console you will not be able to get it up again. (unless you write bind "\" toggleconsole while it's up. That will have the same effect as editing the config.cfg-file)

Good luck!

 

[scarzone]

By launch options, do you mean 'Mal' or 'Starta i'?

 

[Jmon]

by launch options i mean that you open Steam -> goto your gamelist and right click on your hl2 icon there.

i did some googelin' and found this: http://www.lekstugan.net/forum/tm.aspx?m=6143
