i'm wondering is it possible to have a console in half life: day one? i really like finding secrets(ex. toilet scientists) because it's just plain FUN. --Happyguy123 16:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

It is not possible to bind § to the Console, list every button that does not work here:

Custom console

In games like Black Mesa and Garry's Mod the console is moified. In GMod it adds filter buttons, and BMS console is completely different from any oher Source game. Is it modified by the game or its engine branch? Mr. System Error^{(T - C)} 12:14, 30 May 2024 (PDT)

BMS has its own console via its Qt UI. GMOD likely has some in-engine stuff behind it, but it may be done in the HUD files. IDK really, the only one I'm certain on is BMS. -Equalizer (talk) 15:13, 30 May 2024 (PDT)

Sometimes console output is out of order

Not sure if this is game specific or it's triggered by something. Not sure where to search for such issue. But noticed few times console output being out of order. For example when I used dumpeventqueue command in current Half-Life 2 it's being outputed every time in slightly different order.

As I am writing this I noticed this is being caused by multicore rendering. After I set "mat_queue_mode 0" the issue stopped. --Nescius (talk) 19:01, 11 April 2025 (PDT)

Testing in Half-Life: Source, Alien Swarm, Left 4 Dead 2 and didn't manage to replicate the issue there. But in for example Half-Life 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead it happens when multicore redering is enabled. Easily noticable when using dump_entity_sizes command as it will produce slightly different output each time while it should be the same --Nescius (talk) 19:34, 11 April 2025 (PDT)
