Webmasters, post this FAQ wherever and however you wish.


If you followed the instructions of this tiny FAQ and the console STILL does
not work, email me and let me know! Please be detailed in what you did, you
could have done something wrong.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 RETAIL VERSION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FIRST:

Right click on your CS shortcut, then select Properties. FIND the line

C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\cstrike.exe (or something to that effect)

Change it for

C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\cstrike.exe -console

NOTE that there is ONE (1) space between exe and -, and NO (0) space between -
and console.


NEXT:

Open your config.cfg file with a TEXT editor such as Notepad. This file is in
the Counter-Strike folder.

FIND the lines by running a search on the word toggleconsole

bind "`" "toggleconsole"
bind "~" "toggleconsole"

If one is missing, or both are not there, ADD THEM! (copy and paste the above).


FINALLY:

Still in the config.cfg file, FIND the line

console "1.0"

If the value is 0.0 instead, change it to 1.0! It doesn't matter how many 0's
you have after the period, as long as the number in front of the period is a 1.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 MOD VERSION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FIRST:

Create a new shortcut that will be your CS shortcut. To do so right-click on
your desktop, select NEW, then SHORTCUT. Windows will then ask for a command
line, click on BROWSE and fine your Half-Life executable. By default, if you
did not select another folder when installing, it should in

C:\Sierra\Half-Life\

Then double-click on hl.exe and the command line should now read

C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe

Change it to

C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -game cstrike -console

NOTE that there is ONE (1) space between exe and -, and NO (0) space between -
and game, ONE (1) space between -game and cstrike, ONE (1) space between
cstrike and -console.

Then click on NEXT, enter a name for your shortcut, and click DONE.


NEXT:

Open your config.cfg file with a TEXT editor such as Notepad. This file is in
the Counter-Strike folder.

FIND the lines by running a search on the word toggleconsole

bind "`" "toggleconsole"
bind "~" "toggleconsole"

If one is missing, or both are not there, ADD THEM! (copy and paste the above).


FINALLY:

Still in the config.cfg file, FIND the line

console "1.0"

If the value is 0.0 instead, change it to 1.0! It doesn't matter how many 0's
you have after the period, as long as the number in front of the period is a 1.
