Enabling Debug Console (or cheating)

Vedran · 12-28-2002, 05:01 AM

Find your Baldur's Gate 2 installation folder (default is c:\Program Files\Black Isle\BG2 - SoA)
Find baldur.ini file and open it with a text editor (Notepad will do fine)
Find the section 'Program Options' and add another line beneath it:
Debug Mode=1 (capital letters are important)
Find the section 'Game Options' and add another line beneath it:
Cheats=1
Save the file
Now start the game and load a save
Press Ctrl+Space (you must hold Ctrl pressed and then hit Spacebar)
Console will open. Now you can enter various codes used primarily for debugging, but cheating is possible as well.
Click here to find cheat list.
Item codes can be found here in Dan Simpsons' item list

NOTE: Codes are case-sensitive.

Cheats=1 enables key combinations such as Ctrl+Y, Ctrl+J, Ctrl+Q, etc.
Debug Mode=1 enables the console.

Maybe we should bump this what do you think mods?

Adding this to Dundee's thread would make more sense...

Zarr · 12-28-2002, 11:21 AM

Link fixed. Thanks Pschub.
I forgot that I'm not allowed to link directly to FAQ, evading the Gamefaqs page. My apologies.
