Installing Cheats=1 Help

Roggarwat · 12-14-2001, 01:23 PM

Have modified Icewind.ini by adding Cheats=1 to the Game Options section and have pressed control and tab during the game but no console appears, in fact nothing happens? Where do I go from here?
Thanks!

Are you sure you put the cheats=1 under the Game Options section of the .ini file?

Can someone help please?

Do you have the latest patch installed? If you have a non-patched game you can't use the cheats even if you did modify the .ini-file correctly.

OK, I got Ice Wind Dale for xmas, installed patch 1.06. But there is no file icewind.ini! (Windows ME)
Makes it tough to modify......
any thoughts....

Hmmm, I never used the thing before. Perhaps one of you can explain exactly what it is?

But I remember using Win.ini a while ago with Kingdom Under Fire hehe, well, goto Start menu, then Run, and type in icewind.ini. To your surprises there is an icewind.ini [img]smile.gif[/img] , if you thought it was in the IWD Directory, well you're wrong, so search the 'Run' for icewind.ini.

Good Luck and have fun mate!

Durwyn,

Its not a file it is a note pad with a 10 point yellow star in the
lower right hand corner try to find the icewind.ini note pad
double click it and the follow the directions to put in your cheats.

Durwyn · 01-08-2002, 12:57 PM

No no mark,

Ye not be doing it right lad! Goto Start menu, then click on "Run" and type in icewind.ini - thats it, the file will pop up on your screen right away.

OK, must be an idiot, but doing the run thing don't work. There is no file and I don't understand this:
"Its not a file it is a note pad with a 10 point yellow star in the
lower right hand corner try to find the icewind.ini note pad
double click it and the follow the directions to put in your cheats."--where would this little sucker be?
Do I sound testy? Sorry, not used to being so clueless (well OK maybe I am used to it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.)

Try reading the readme.txt file that gets updated with the patch. I recall seeing something about this, and if I remember right, they changed the commands to enable the cheats from the CLUAConsole to "Cheatersdoprosper" or something similar.

Let me check this out and I'll post an update later tonight.
