AI Thread Summary
To enable the console window in Half-Life, it is necessary to create a shortcut that includes the "-dev-console" parameter. Users can locate the hl.exe file by searching for it in the system's files or folders. Once found, the shortcut should be modified to include this parameter, formatted as "C:\Half-Life\hl.exe -dev-console" or similar, depending on the installation path. This will allow the console window to be displayed during gameplay, enabling various tricks and commands.

I've heard it is possible to play with Half Life making some tricks.

But all of them requires the presence of the console window. I pulse the key "º" during the game, but no console window is showed. I have seen some people make a shortcut with a direct access to ""C:Half-Life\hl.exe-dev-console" in order to enable the console window. But the computer says to me this archive is unknown. I've searched for it and I've not got it in C:.

What can I do in order to display the console window?.

Thanks.

try this
C:\Half-Life\hl.exe-dev-console

or
From start ,click find/search,files or folders and in the textbox type hl.exe and click find now.
After it searches you will get some message like
name in folder
hl.exe C:\program files\Halflife...\hl.exe

Type the stuff you found and add -dev-console
eg:D:\Half-Life\hl.exe-dev-console

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
