Otherwise known as the Tilde button: ~

Post by: Darkthunder on June 11, 2007, 03:46:10 PM: Make a shortcut that says:

"ProgramFolder\Bridge Commander\STBC.exe" -TestMode

Post by: Mustang on June 11, 2007, 03:56:53 PM: Detailed:

Right click on the Bridge Commander icon on the desktop.

In the "target" box, outside the quotes of the existing text, put: -TestMode

This should work...

Post by: Vortex on June 11, 2007, 04:06:38 PM: So it should look like:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Bridge Commander\stbc.exe" -TestMode?

Without the '?' though lol.

Title: Re: How to be able to get the console?
Post by: Vortex on June 13, 2007, 11:24:30 AM: Thanks guys, it's working now.

And, um... keyboard layout? There's more than one?
Title: Re: How to be able to get the console?
Post by: MLeo on June 13, 2007, 11:33:11 AM: Your American, right? :P

Then it's also possible you got a British keyboard.
And in which case, you would know that there are multiple types of keyboards. :S

For some strange reason on the UK Keyboard has - "`", "?" and "?" instead of the ~ key, but since most games are set to the US Keyboard the button does the same thing in any game that uses a console of sorts.

I remade this post since i didn't read all the thread :(
Title: Re: How to be able to get the console?
Post by: MLeo on June 16, 2007, 05:28:18 PM: Ok, here is a list of keys and their keyboard layouts:

QUERTY (US): Backquote (the "`" key, left of 1, above of tab, below Esc and the shift version is ~)
French (AZERTY?): Multiply (the * most likely, no other hints I'm afraid)
German (not sure, could be the AZERTY :P): Multiply (see French comment)
Itialian (again not sure): Multiply (see above 2 comments)
Spanish (not sure): Multiply (do I need to say more?)
UK (unknown to me): Backquote (see US)

This is all from the scripts.

UK (QWERTY): The letters are the same layout as the us as are most of the keys, the only real difference are some of the symbols such as @, ", etc... Although the $ sign is in the same place. (i bought a us layout keyboard by mistake so i know what differences there are between them :))
