This is my report on my condition.

I uninstalled Baldur's Gate from Program Files (x86) and reinstalled it into My Games directory under Local Disk (\C:). I opened Baldur.ini and placed the line Cheats=1 under the text document's postulate "[Game Options]" and ran the game. I still haven't moved anything from the previous GOG file to see if I could keep my saves, but I spose I really don't need them if I really wanted to overplay it.

Just as well, to finalize it: The process worked.
Console is available when UAC does not conflict with the GOG interface. I guess I'll take more time when they so much as mention the UAC saying, "Windows 7 users, be aware that UAC (User Account Control) might cause the GOG.com installer to launch with a slight delay (up to a few minutes). Larger files will cause a longer delay."

So for anybody else reading this: I'm the hard example that learned it for ya.


Thanks for all the help. I was skeptical about putting it in there just because it mainly holds newer games and emulators. Haha.

Thanks again,

I'm just finding this now. I've been editing what I *thought* was the .ini file. Turns out it wasn't <sigh>

Thanks for saving my sanity :)

Thanks, you saved my head from exploding in a bloody mess.

Having trouble downloading baldur's gate2 on my pc saying the files are corrupted any ideas?

Baldur's gate 1

I got the console to work but the cheats aren't working thou .
CLUAConsole:CreateItem{"BRAC05"}
lua:toLua-argument 1 of function 'CreateItem' should be Type 'char*'
Active stack:
Active stack:
I try most of all the cheats
is coming up on the screen what dose that mean.

Syntax, perhaps? Should be...

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("BOOK04",1)

i got this info from beamdog: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/8317/how-to-tweak-your-game.
1. Enabling the CLUA Console
C:\User\My Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition
Open up the Baldur.ini with a text editor. I suggest ConTEXT as its free and will also enable you to easily edit scripts too.

Add these lines 'Program Options', 'Debug Mode', '1', You can put it right at the top if you like

CREATE TABLE options (
section string,
name string,
value string
);
INSERT INTO options ROWS (
'Program Options', 'Debug Mode', '1',

**NOTE** If you are having trouble getting Vista/7/8 to recognise or keep your changes... try either changing the system permissions on the INI file, or another method is to copy out the INI file to your desktop (or wherever), make your edits then save. Verify they are in there, then drop back into your Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition folder and 'replace' the existing one.

Start up your game and either create a new game or load a save. Hit Ctrl+Space
This will bring up a window where you need to type in the following:

New!
Console commands were prefaced by CLUAConsole:, but now begin with C:

I wasn't sure about the second 2 lines, so this is how i entered it (it still isn't working):

SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options', 'Debug Mode'
SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options',CREATE TABLE options ('section string,' 'name string,' 'value string');
SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options',INSERT INTO options ROWS ('Program Options','Debug Mode', '1',

can anyone guide me on this?

thanks!
