Baldur's Gate I cheat help(Cheat Spoiler)

Healos · 02-22-2007, 07:34 PM

OK, so I typed in under the "baldur.ini" Cheats=1, then in the game I open the typing place with Ctrl-Tab and type in CLUAConsole:CreateItem(BOOT01) for example and it said "lua: indexed expression not a table" then under that "active stack" and under that "main of (dostring)>>CLUAConsole:CreateItem at line 1" So what do I do? how do get them to work? PlZ help me

Oh yeah, I had this problem too to begin with. But, uhm, I think it's supposed to be ("BOOT01") for your fancy boots of speed ;) Yes, I remember what that item code is. That's the first thing I get for my chars if I go the cheaty way. Another thing you could try is download GateKeeper if you want to alter your chars.

Logic · 02-23-2007, 05:22 AM

I had thought that the Boots of Speed was in fact Boot01, not Boot001.
The code should be:
CLUAConsole:CreateItem('BOOT01')
or
CLUAConsole:CreateItem("BOOT01")
I have used both and they worked.

Shikton · 02-23-2007, 05:37 AM

Yeah, it's 01. I actually just wanted to toss in the " there. Oh, and for stackable items you need to type in the ammount as well like ("SCRL01",1) or something like that.

Logic · 02-23-2007, 07:16 AM

For the stackables, if you don't put the comma and extra numeral, you still get one item.
It just saves time to use the quantity select.

While we're talking about cheats and BGI... anyone know how to activate the consolve on a laptop keyboard?

Shouldn't the keystrokes be the same? My laptop never had a problem with activating the console...

Om · 02-23-2007, 07:37 AM

Nope. I suppose that it depends on the make but I've often had problems with the laptop layout. Meh, I'll just use my PC keyboard when I get home.

Logic · 02-23-2007, 08:02 AM

Well, on a laptop I frequently hit the "Fn" key instead of "Ctrl". I hate to ask a condescending question, but could this possibly be your problem?

Om · 02-23-2007, 08:58 AM

I tried Fn and button mashing but all I ended up doing was turning off my wireless hardware for a week

Arang · 02-23-2007, 09:08 AM

You're hitting Ctrl and space, right? That should bring up the console at the bottom of the screen.

Logic · 02-23-2007, 09:46 AM

Well, if I remember right, BG and BG2 both use Ctrl+Tab.
Icewind Dale should be the Ctrl+Space.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I don't want people blaming their misfortune on my occasionally faulty memory.

Arang · 02-23-2007, 10:12 AM

It's always been Ctrl+Space for me. Not sure if it's different on American keyboards.

That's always worked for me... until now of course. I haven't tried Ctrl-space yet.

Edit: IT WORKS!! thanks a lot the help, ('BOOT01') works for me and you need the caps.
Thanks again for the help how about the "CLUAConsole:CreateCreature" does that work too? and the "Cheat:" series too?

Shikton · 02-23-2007, 02:45 PM

I never got the createcreature thing to work, but maybe I just suck too much.

Logic · 02-24-2007, 09:44 AM

I tired the create creature once just to make sure it worked. I ended up with myself and 5 Khalids to test it. I honestly don't remember the code for it though.

Figured it out... I think. Ctrl-Space brings up the console when using the BGII engine (which I'm running the original game in using Tutu) whereas Ctrl-Tab was used in BGI.

Arang · 02-26-2007, 10:06 AM

I never could get the original to run, so I used EasyTUTU. Which does indeed use the BG2 engine. Sorry for the misinformation.

Just use the rather famous Gate/Shadow keeper, so you dont need to manually mess around with files.

Plz help
I'm new at cheating on baldur's gate 1.
I tried all the cheats and none of them work.
CLUAConsole:CreateItem(”BOOK04,01”)
Lua:toLua-argument 1 of function 'CreateItem'
Should be of Type 'char*;
Active stack:
Active stack:

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong!

It looks like you're trying to create a non-stackable item (I think that's a manual of stat you're trying to make) with a parameter for the number of items and the console doesn't like it. Try without the 01 at the end:
