In the original game it was possible to start with the parameter -console
In this version of the game it looks like theat this doesn't anymore.
Does anybody know how to activate it?

When I add the -console parameter, I cannot click on buttons in the main menu. So, I also find no way to activate the console yet. For me as a mod developer, it would be nice, if there will be a solution for this. :)

I was wondering the same, because the problem is that the game has still alot of AI bugs, so sometimes you NEED console to actualy move in the game. Also, when i aswell added the -console in shortcut, no buttons in main menu worked or no console showed up.

I really like to play around with the spawn shenenginans you can cause with the console. It's half of the fun later on. ^^

So, how to enable it?

Add -console to the taget in shortcut and then scroll lock key in the gam will show the console?

@edit
got it, you need to make a shortcut of diggles.exe, add -console parameter to the target line and the console is under scroll lock

Yes. If you use Galaxy, you can also do it from there. Click on Game Settings > Manage installation > Configure. Then Duplicate on bottom of the page and put "-console" in Arguments and name the shortcut in My label. You can run the game then by Game Settings > Additional executables.

works with version 2.1.1.8

Thanks for fixing :)

Since we have the console back, I wanted to remove that black shadow, so that I could see, which way is a dead end and which isn't.

This topic has a lot of commands, including some relatedto fog, however I have no idea how totype it into the console

Top
show_fogofwar (misc)
show_fogofwar ‹newstate›
show or hide fog of war

Top
remove_black_fog (map)
remove_black_fog ‹player› ‹left› ‹top› ‹right› ‹bottom›
reset maparea

I think one of those does it, any ideas?

An example could be:

remove_black_fog 0 0 0 255 255

You are player 0. The top left corner is (0, 0) and the bottom right corner is (255, 255) This area is shown to you after typing this command

replace 255 with 999 and the entire map is uncovered, so that you know which way there are tiles that cannot be dig through. It's fair, since you still have fog of war, so you need to build those monuments to see whats going on :).
