[Newbie] Drop Down Console? How do people do it?

Pure Krome · 2000-11-12T12:43:42

Hi All. I''m curious to how a CONSOLE is created in games like Quake, etc. i was trying to read over some UConsole code i grabbed from the net, but it .. well .. was not easy for a blond. And besides, i like trying my own code. But i''m curious to how other people IMPLIMENT this idea. do you just make a BOX / 2D plane and have it always above the camera, or something? i have absolutly NO IDEA how people implement this console option. Oh. of course, this drop down console will be used for typing in this to change various states of the game. I hope this make sence, and thanks in advance to any help re: this. -Pure Krome-

Funny you should ask that, I made a drop down console in OpenGL just a few weeks ago. It''s written in delphi but uses the GLF library console routines to show simple commands. It only does the interface side of things but if you''re interested email me (mhearn@subdimension.com) and i''ll send you the sources.

thanks -mike
