[Guide] How to enable and use the developer console.

[Grimples]

You can set warp but only if you use -force_mods.

You need autoexec.cfg from base.scs.

Code: Select all

exec /home/config.cfg
warp 0.8

If you dont have base.scs extracted just create an autoexec.cfg, copy the above into it & put in any mod you have.
WARNING: Using -force_mods will disable the Mod Manager & mods will be loaded in a alpha-numerical order.

(edit)
you need to press enter after warp 0.8 so there is an empty line after it, dont ask why as i have no idea.

Some kind of code:

Code: Select all

string fileContents = File.ReadAllText("autoexec.cfg");
string lineContents = "";
for (int i = 0; i < fileContents.Length; i++) {
    if (fileContents[i] != "\n" || fileContents[i] != "\r")
        lineContents += fileContents[i];
    if (fileContents[i] == "\n") {
        ExecuteCommand(lineContents);
        lineContents = "";
    }
}

Now, if you think about it some... You might have figured out what the problem is.
Hint: If you base the condition for executing a command on a linefeed ("\n") character, then there has to be one at the end of the file as well or it won't execute.
I assume SCS did something silly like that in this case.

And how is this going on macbook?

Same same, different paths and possibly a different key that's all.

Is there a way to code the warp speed into the profile settings so that my game runs at my preferred speed all the time? (Without having to go into the console and type warp 0.8 on every game load).

Hmm what the heck? I'm almost positive at one point this was introduced, I remember stumbling across it by accident that it stayed as what I'd set it (whereas it didn't before), so I thought I'd just test this again now today by setting warp 0.2 so I could instantly tell the difference then exited and reloaded and indeed the warp had defaulted again..

I'm convinced it stayed set at one point and it wasn't long after Scan DLC iirc, so was that a freaky glitch or has it indeed been added and now taken away again, I'm confused?

Oh and Max, either way, can you please 'profile config' this param? Having to keep it set using -force_mods is a horrible workaround and one I'll never use, and it does offer a more relaxed game play (and smoother steering believe it or not) so I'm sure many of us would appreciate it being a consistent option.

@ Cadde


And what path?

even when i use: SHIFT + CMD + > to locate all hidden files, it doesnt show a config file

[Cadde]

Jen, sorry i don't know. I am not a Mac user.

I read somewhere that on OS X that the path to one of the two config.cfg is ~/Library/Application Support/Euro Truck Simulator 2/config.cfg. I copied that not knowing whether it was accurate or not, and you're the first person that asked about it... So you're the lucky person who gets to check it out. (Oh, Joy!) So could you please let me know if it does? Thanks!

[ohaha]

the config file is next to the mod folder, in windows version... maybe it's in the same place for Mac?

@ Axel Slingerland

Yes, there it is, Thanks!
