Hi all,
does anybody know how to show the console all the way down to the bottom?
I was able to make it full screen couple of times by mistake but I can't seem to find how to replicate.
I looked through the console commands (con_) but nothing for the "height" or length is there (I don't see it).
Doom Legacy Console used to have the command con_height and then the percentage to which you wanted to extend the console but GZDoom doesn't seem to have it or work with it.
Any takers?
Many thanks!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Re: Console full screen
This can only be done outside a running game. The overlay console only covers half the screen.

When opening the console from the start screen or the menu.

Re: Console full screen

Re: Console full screen
If you just start the program (exe) and press the console key when the title screen in shown, you will get a fullscreen console.
If you are already playing a game, you'll need to end it first (just the game/map, not the whole program), so you'll be brought back to the title screen where you can access the FS console again.

@Get Phobo ha, ninja'ed but I provide images 
The default key is the key left of the number 1 key

Just like Graf Zahl mentioned, the console is fullscreen from the start screen
[imgur]https://i.imgur.com/MdmZLin[/imgur]
and halfscreen when displayed from within a game

However, I don't know why, on my computer the console does not drop
from the menus.

Re: Console full screen
This is driving insane, mainly because I know i pressed something and the console extended all the way down during a game, twice!
Why do I say during a game? Because I have been using different megawads and they all jump right to the first map, no start menu.
I did try to run classic doom and at the start menu the console did open full screen as in you screen shot, thanks for that by the way.
I failed to mention that I use project brutality or other add-ons, but even when removed the console acts the same (I guess engine is the same).
GZDoom is last version 3.7.2, I tried creating offline games from Doomseeker or using Zandronum as engine but always same result.
Not sure what to make of it, hopefully I'll trigger it again by mistake ..
