I can't use the cheats. Is it Vista?

Lefty X · 06-03-2009, 07:12 AM

I have everything set up right with the -developerkeys. I can alter my skin. However, the ~ button does nothing during play. Is it because I'm using Vista or is there something else I can do. Thank you ahead of time.

I believe you need to put it like this -developer -developerkeys.... That's the way, man.

"-developer" is the one that let's you get in the console..

Lefty X · 06-03-2009, 01:37 PM

Thank you, Dan. I have tried that, but will try again. Does anyone else know if there is something else that could be causing this?

Lefty X: do you have a mce remote connected? disconnect it (the usb receiver) and try ~-key again

...

edit:
I have noticed this "mce-remote hijacks ~ in games"-effect in two games, Max and Oblivion...
did a google search http://www.google.nl/search?q=mce+remote+tilde+key that confirms it too...
tilde not working in games with the remote receiver plugged in...

Lefty X · 06-04-2009, 08:58 AM

OK, what is this receiver you are reffering to?

DarkjeThe2nd · 06-04-2009, 09:59 AM

Mine looks like a small black box connected to an usb port, it is the receiver for the ms mce-remote. But other brand 'Microsoft certified MCE remotes' may also be affected.

Lefty X · 06-04-2009, 10:41 AM

Ahh. Is this for a wireless mouse? I have one of those.

DarkjeThe2nd · 06-04-2009, 12:21 PM

Mouse should not be a problem, it only happens with the media center remote control dongle.

I've tested it with an original Microsoft one and with a hauppauge ms-certified media center remote.

Lefty X · 06-04-2009, 03:35 PM

I'm sorry, you literally mean a remote control, not a wireless device. No, I do not have one of those.

DarkjeThe2nd · 06-04-2009, 04:54 PM

np... you did try F12 while in developer mode?

Lefty X · 06-05-2009, 07:19 AM

When exactly am I in "developer mode?" Anytime I am playing the game with -developer attached? I never saw the string of code that I'm supposed to when the game is loading.

DarkjeThe2nd · 06-05-2009, 09:26 AM

well I would define being in developer mode as being able to bring up the console in game. that is what you want to do right?

Lefty X · 06-05-2009, 12:47 PM

Right, I want to bring up the consle, but cannot. I can change skins, though.

gamerfreak · 06-05-2009, 10:45 PM

The key is F12.

As he said (but more clear), the key to bring up the console is F12, not tilde.

DarkjeThe2nd · 06-06-2009, 03:53 AM

the F12 key is with max1,
~ is the key to use with max2

Lefty X · 06-06-2009, 07:10 AM

Right, and I'm talking Max2.
It's weird, but it's just not doing anything.
