Console Mode

Morg · Post by **Morg** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 5:54 pm

Dude WTF. Whenever I run Halo in console mode, I can bring up the console text box (it's purple and stuff) but whenever I type in a code, it doesn't work. It says it can't be executed at this time. I have tried it on my own hosted servers and other servers and even campaigns! Nothing ever works. And yes, I do add underscores "_" and I have tried the codes soooo many times now. What is wrong!

Well, since you're using a cheat. Do you have -devmode in the file target?

Morg · Post by **Morg** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 6:40 pm

Er...I typed in -console (oops). I thought it was supposed to be -console and devmode was for CE only.

You can't use cheats in HaloPC.

Here's a list of things you can use for HaloPC file-directorys:

-Console
-Novideo
-Screenshot
-MCH2Beta - I think that one's only for me though.
-Window

And here's HaloCE:

-Console
-Devmode
-Screenshot
-Window

And that's all I know of right off of the top of my head.

Thanks. Maybe I can't use cheats...but why can't I use ban? Ban doens't work either. I hate it when these noobs keep getting on my server and lag it up. It won't let me ban or kick. And the target is -console. Is everything correct?

Well maybe I mistyped it since I tried it once only. I'll retry that but so...if you can't use cheats, what can you use for PC? I know ban and kicks definitely is possible because I've seen people just get kicked off servers. Any idea? (Sorry if I'm boring you out right now).

Hold F1, find out the number of the player. Then, type player_ban_# (# being the number of the player.)

EDIT: Atleast thats how I do it, I've modded EVERYTHING in my Halo directory so I could have most likely changed the command. If it doesn't work, I don't know what to tell ya...Sorry.

Alright I try that. Thanks

. You've been a great help and it is appreciated.

EDIT: You're one of the few people that can spell and type grammer correctly. Maybe one day people will stop using "L337" chat and cheap spelling

you dont hold f1 (well you might since you have modded it or something but most people dont). you have to type in console sv_players and it will show all of the players and their names and all of that good stuff.
