You may now continue using the steps outlined below. - Go into your "My Documents" folder (if you are on a Mac this will be called "Documents")
- In it open the appropriate folder for the game you are playing (for instance "Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition")
- Find the Baldur.lua file
- Open this file up using a Notebook, Wordpad, TextEdit, ConTEXT, or any other word processor (provided smart quotes are disabled)
- Add this line to the file
SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options','Debug Mode','1')
- Save the file (be sure it remains a .Lua file)
- When you are playing the game (and are in the same screen you experience combat in) you should now be able to hit Ctrl+Space and see a black box appear (I've put a yellow box around it in the following image)
![]()
- Type in the appropriate code in the box and then hit enter. Note: As of 2.0 the old code prefix "CLUAConsole:" no longer works. You can instead just use "C:" An example would be C:CreateCreature("gibber")
