Console Guide Index
Enabling the Console
To be able to use the console in Half-Life in single player mode, you must do one of the following:

1. Start Menu-> Run-> type in: <x>:\<hl dir>\Hl.exe -console
    <x>=HDD
    <hldir>=Where Half-Life's directory resides in

2. Create a shortcut of Hl.exe, then right click on the shortcut and bring up Properties. From there, Shortcut Tab -> Target Box -> put in " -console" after hl.exe.
Example: hl.exe -console

3. Update the game to at least v1.0.0.9 and the console option will be listed in the main menu.

4. Update the game to at least v1.0.0.9 and go to Start Menu -> Programs -> Sierra -> Half-Life -> Half-Life Console.

After enabling the console, you could access the console throughout the game by pressing the [~] key (near the [Esc] key). In a multiplayer game, the console is already accessible. Just hit the [~] key and it should bring down the console.

For some foreign country keyboards, try the [`] key, next to the [1] and [Esc] key.

Note: In order to make use of cheats, you might like to add "+sv_cheats 1" to the command line arguments, instead of having to set the variable in the game.
