Debug Console not available in 'pause'?

[ItchySox 10]

"The console is automatically available in missions running from editor."

Is it just me? I guess so, no one else seems to have mentioned this.

When I pause the game I get the small menu, but not the debug console alongside it. I can bring it up in the editor screen, but not where I need it to use the camera (camera is greyed out in the editor).

I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Can someone help? Thanks.

Edit:

Hmm, I've managed to get the console to appear by adding a description.ext file containing the line "enableDebugConsole = 1;" to my mission folders, however the game no longer pauses though there is a pause symbol in the top right corner of the screen.

Are you editing your mission in multiplayer? If so that is why it isn't appearing and pausing, it only does that in single player.

unless you specifically enable it in the description.ext file

Any way to get the console in the showcase missions?
