[SOLVED] legengd of grimrock 1 and 2

I don't like asking this as I feel like a bit of a cheater. I got these 2 games many years ago on pc when they first came out. I am taking a trip down memory lane on windows 10 and re-doing the games.

In recent years I have developed a locking finger problem that makes movement difficult I have even had to pack up work.

To stop myself dying I found something that said it notepad file change console from false to true and change console key from 200 to 196.

I have done this but if I press the tilde key the console box does not come up.

The objective being that when you press the tilde key a specific game console will open - correct?

~ (tilde) being = 01111110 (binary), 7E (hex), and 126 (decimal)

What is the normal/default key use to open the game console in Grimlock?

As I understand the problem the need is to remap the normal/default key which is unusable for you to the tilde key which is useable.

Your reference to Notepad makes me believe that you are working on some script to remap the keys.

And you are clearly aware of the ascii keycodes. It may be a matter of the codes being used with respect to your language and keyboard. Or the necessary format within the script (ldecimal, binary, hex).

Also, just to provide some sort of reference, type "Character Map" into the "Type here to search box".

The Character Map may help identify the necessary remapping value.

Note: Windows' built in calculator has a function to do such conversions. Open the calculator and click the small hamburger menu in the upper left corner. Select "Programmer".

Once we can identify the necessary keyboard remap the next step is to figure a workable script.

Hi Ralston thanks for your reply , this link shows what I did please read the bit at the top "using console"

UPDATE.... another user said he thought the 192 value might be wrong so I went to customise key and pressed the tilde symbol but instead of the symbol it put 223 in key function box.
In notepad I changed the 192 to 223 and now the console works.
