I have read how to put in the cheats but at first it crashed then I changed. The file has several game options. I typed in baldur.ini and came up with only one. I'll send a copy of the file if someone can show me how it is suppose to look like please send back the copy. Thanks. I'm tired. I have been taking care of my wife that is in the hospital. My mind must be so tired it can't figure this thing out. I need a distraction because my wife is constantly complaining. For 3 days of being here and hearing nothing but complaining, yea I need a distraction, wish had my headset. She is not complaining about me just the pain and everything else. Just found out gog won't accept the file attachment. What I'll do is post what it looks like on here.

I tried inserting Game Options then enable cheats 1 then tried enablecheats 1 then enablecheats(1) (which the game refused to load), enablecheats=1, cluaconsole:enablecheats1 then=1 still nothing. I tried program options with debug mode which didn't work well. I hit control tab m which brought up a picture and a line but everything entered it kept saying something script exit etc. I don't know what else to do.

You need to insert this:

'Program Options', 'Debug Mode', '1',

I thought that was for Baldurs Gate 2? I'll give it a shot.

It's the same for both games.

It doesn't work for either trying hex editor

It's a text file. Why are you using a hex editor? Use Notepad.

I'm not using a hex editor for the cheats just a notepad. The other option is using hex editor since cheats don't seem to work. The problem with hex editor is trying to figure out what to edit. Sorry I was unclear.

Get yourself free notepad++ (much easier to edit and you're not gonna mess up the file) and in documents/bgee/baldur.ini under other 'program options' add this line:
'Program Options', 'Debug Mode', '1',

Not at the bottom of the text file but under other 'program options'. And it works.
Check the spaces so they match similar lines above - for some reason I can't copy/paste properly spaced line here.
Then ctrl+space ingame and you've got your cheat console.

It looks like you were typing the wrong command.

After editing the INI like Hemaka describes, you need to open the in-game console and type:
"CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys()"

Exactly that, without the quotation marks. Including the capital letters. Not enablecheats(1) or anything like that.

Why would you cheat? :O

Boredom? Roleplaying? S&G? That first annoying "Mage-Boss" is kinda bad on newbies.

I think I spammed stinking cloud and shot lots of arrows at him, but he ended up killing everyone but Minsc, and then Minsc, who had just shot his last arrow runs up and desperately hacks at him, and somehow lands a hit that deals 20-some damage, and he was a low level too, probably no higher than 4. I don't know how, but he overkilled that sucka. ;)

Wrong Boss
