Console á quake-style?
Author
Im wondering if anyone knows how to make a console like the ones we find in quake and other 1st shooter games..?
Im having trouble with this because the rendering is in a loop.
Anyone?
download the quake 2 source code. there are two files called console.h and console.c
of course it seems a bit confusing if you read it the first time, but if learn to understand how the q2 engine "works", it will give you the necessary information about creating a console.
q2 source code @ www.idsoftware.com
hope this is a little help

I know how to make a console..if you are thinking of a console in the way I am,but it is very difficult.
I never tryed this but...
If you want to make a console you should first write the sub-code that exists in a edittext control...meaning that at every keyboard message write the caracter on the screen ...meaning to write about 1-2 lines of code for each key (especially Backspace and right and left).. if you`ve done that you just need to position the text...and make a quad 1/2 size of the window..or there is another way ?
