How to disable the Debug Console?

[Ubel]

Does anyone know how to disable the Debug Console wich comes when you push the § button (next to 1 button)?
I'd also want to disable the Alt+X abort key.

You can disable the debug console simply by disabling debug mode.

And you can't disable the abort key, but you can remap it.

game.abort_key  -- The keycode for Abort Game, which allows the you to quit even if your script is stuck. Default 324 (Alt+X). 

AT any rate, disabling the abort key completely wouldn't be a good idea anyway. If you do remap it, tell the player where it is.

Yes, when you un-check the Debug Mode option in your game settings, the debug console becomes disabled -- so you'd do this before compiling the final version of your game.

You can disable the abort key by doing:
game.abort_key = -1;

BUT, as Redrum says I wouldn't recommend it. Just in case ones of your scripts locks up, allowing the player to exit with Alt+X can be invaluable in tracking down the problem.

Isn't it true that Alt+F4 works as an additional abort key in any case?

Thanks guys!Ã, 
That really helped.

Well, Alt+F4 will abort the game, but it won't display the current script line number. The Alt+X feature is designed to allow you to find where the problem is, by allowing the player to report some useful information.

And Alt-F4 won't work with DOS compiles I think, don't know about the Linux port though.

Good point. I just use Alt-F4 a lot because it doesn't give me a dialog box to close
For linux, use Kill -9

I'm pretty sure Alt + F4 works in the Linux port

Alt + X definitely does, I use that all the time.
