Console
Enabling The Console
Enabling the console in Silent Storm is quite easy:
First use notepad or some other test editor to edit the autoexec.cfg file by adding the line: wirbelwind to it.
Save, and edit input.cfg, by adding the line (after the game bind section): bind console 'F12'. You can use other keys such as the tilde (~), but just make sure they are not used by other commands.
SAVE YOUR CHANGES!
Now when you are playing you can just hit F12 to open the console window.
Basic Instructions
To use the console in the game simply press the key you assigned, eg 'F12'.
To exit the console press the same key again.
To get help on the console commands you can type: help
To scroll the console window so that you can read all of these commands use the 'pageup' and 'pagedown' keys.
