Post: [THEORY] Type out custom messages in-game (keyboard needed)

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok NGU, I was thinking, MW2 uses the cfg commands to do stuff in-game like open the start menu and the leaderboards. Well wouldn't it also use a command to open the chat? If someone could go on MW2 on their computer, turn on the console to track what command is happening, then press T on their keyboard to activate the chat command. We could see what it is and bring it to PS3 and Xbox. We probably would need to have a keyboard connected to our PS3s to type something out but it still would be cool to have. I do not have MW2 on my computer but if someone that does could try this, that would be awesome.

I have looked into it. The Command to bring it up is chatmodepublic just that no 1 or 0. It is a toggle command. And when you do that on a ps3 it pops up the little say:_

but you cant type anything. Like I tried using a USB keyboard but it types nothing.

I think this was patched, cause i think you have to use ui_keyboard and setfromdvar, which were patched in 2012. but if anyone knows another way that would be great.

I know what you mean but its pointless if you have CFG menu. All it is, is the 'say' command. PC just binds it to where if you press T a text box opens up, im sure its different on console. Now I could probably make a GSC script to type out custom messages but I don't mod Mw2 anymore

But you wouldn't need a message menu for 1.14 if you could just type out anything you wanted...

yeah ik but its impossible as the ui_menupopup or whatever it was that used setfromdvar to load custom dvar values through your classnames etc. was patched a long ass time ago. That would be the only possible way unless you use GSC but then of course you couldn't use on 1.14 as GSC is patched. Unless you can get your keyboard to actually type shit out I think its not possible. I will look around and look into it but no guarantee. Im pretty sure the ui_menupopup dvar (I don't think that's the actual dvar name but its close to that) works on cod4 and waw, but not mw2 :/ sorry man
