how do i enable the cheat dropdown to put in cheat codes? DRC

Which version?

I trfer to the Enhanced Edition of ice windale 1. thank you!

Go to ..\Documents\Icewind Dale - Enhanced Edition\

You will find a file called baldur.lua, edit it in a text editor like notepad or notepad++ and add the following line:

SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options','Debug Mode','1')

If the game ever overwrites the file, resulting in the console not being enabled, do the above and then make baldur.lua read only.

i ADDED THE LINE OF CODING AND MADE IT READ ONLY BUT STILL CHEAT MODE INPUT LINE DOES NOT WORK? hELP!

It's probably because you keep SHOUTING the command.

Post the contents of your baldur.lua file here.

I have edited the file, even had it read only, but I can't get the input cheat line to show. I tried copy and pasting but this screen would not allow me. There must be another solution but I don't know what. Thanks David Craft

CTRL+Space

Just in case you are trying something different.

Thank you for trying, but I still can't access the cheat input window. I have typed in the lines you recommended, but these don't work. I'll try to make note++ to read, but I feel it won't work anyway. Help? D. Craft

I'm going to repeat myself: Post the contents of your baldur.lua file here. I'm firmly convinced it is something you've done or are not doing correctly.

I tried to copy and past notebook++ edited version of Baldur.lua, but I get "Wrong Format.?

Yeah, it's as I thought: you have trouble copy/pasting a simple text content to a forum. How on earth do you get a "wrong format"? You simply open baldur.lua in notepad or notepad++, press CTRL+C to copy all of the text, open a reply window in this forum and press CTRL+V to paste the text into the reply window. Now if you can't do that it stands to reason that people will think you're having similar issues with enabling the console.

You can't possibly get a "wrong text format" error by posting plain text. You DO NOT attach the file. Read my instructions above and do as I said.
