Big problem - sewer key

Remove all ads!

i've just returned from the underdark and had cromwell inform me that i need the hammer of thunderbolts to make the crom faeyr.problem is I cant find the sewer key. do items vanish or do they stay wherever you dropped them. Is there anyway i can get the door open without it? Im running win xp home version,have had no problemswith game running.tried to use the cheat to create another but cant find the right files in XP.my last resort is to reload saved game from like day 34,am currently at 108.PLEASE ADVISE!!!!

If the CLUA console is already enabled, the item code is KEY29 I believe. So, you can open the console and type:

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("KEY29")

then hit enter and check your inventory.

If the console isn't enabled, you have to find the baldur.ini file in the Baldur's gate directory. Edit it with notepad. Under program options, type:

Debug Mode=1

Restart the game and while playing hit (ctrl) and (space) at the same time to open the console. I believe that'll do it for you.

 

almighty one,thankyou for the reply but ive already tried that and xp wont give up the balders.ini file in the bg dir. Is there something else i can try or someway to dig up the file?

 

I think keys wont disappear from the world unlike most items if you drop them. Check out all thru firkraags dungeon - that is where you get the sewer key I think - if you have ToB installed (i assume so this is that fourm) then pressing TAB will highlight all floor items so you can check around more easily for it.

Otherwise you will have to edit files like above said

 

Are you saying that you can't open the file? WinXP shouldn't be the problem...even though it sucks...are you shure you did it right???

 

Im playing BGsoa(yes im a newbie)-and your right i probaly am looking for the balder,ini file incorrectly,being as i dont know how to type,this is only my 4th posting ever. but i ran a search for it and explored all the files i could,but i am in the home xp thing.maybe i should go get the shadowkeeper thing? any ideas greatly appreciated.

 

Shadowkeeper won't help you open the CLUA console as far as I know. To find the baldur.ini file I simply go to the start menu, click Find, and choose file or folder, and choose to search the C drive. If this doesn't work, and you can't find it under the Baldur's Gate folder using Window's Explorer, I'm officially stumped. Don't give up though, I know little more about computers than how to turn them on, someone here is bound to know how to find that file.

 

Ok, here is the usual path to the baldur.ini file if for some reason you can't find it:
CProgram Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA

It's one of the icons that look like a notepad with a little yellow star at the botom of it.

• Open the file by double clicking on it
• Scroll down till you see a line of code that looks like this: [Game Options]
• Then type Cheats=1 under the Game Options line (case sensitive)
• Then save the file and restart the game if it is running

It should look like this:
[Game Options]
Cheats=1

If you are still having problems...take your computer out side and shoot it several time with a shotgun!!!

 

thankyou all but theres no help for me i guess,i tried putting both debug and cheat in together and that didnt work either, my spacebar is assigned to pause. my control key is unassigned, i think tomorrow ill just start over and maybe change my party a little thanks for the info

 

Love the shotgun idea,but dont have one so i just swore at it onand off for 2 days while the forum was down.ok i must be doing something wrong, i went -my computer-folders-program files-black isle-BGIISoa-baldur config settings(notepad icon with yellow star thingy)-program options-scrolled down to bottom and typed -Debug Mode=1,Debug mode=1,Debugmode=1,Cheats=1,CHEATS=1,cheats=1,then saved.(i did try em 1 at a time so dont get ahead of my slow thinking process)Then started BG up and hit control and spacebar at same time.all it did was pause the game, i couldnt type anything in.im in winxp home ,where am i screwing up,help me someone pleaseeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

 

I thought that it was supposed to look like this:

[Program Options]
Debug Mode=1

This is what I have in my baldur.ini file.

 

thats just what i have under program options, last line is "Debug Mode=1"minus the quotation marks. them i save then i start game and hit control and spacebar and nothing happens.shouldnt i see the lettersCLUAConsole when im typing in my dialog box?

 

For some game versions, Debug Mode is not working, for some games Cheats is not working, for some both work.
So add both lines in Baldur.ini (Cheats and Debug Mode).

Next problem can be your CTRL key. Try with the second CTRL key.

Also the problem might be windows key mapping - are you sure you haven't attached no program to run when you press CTRL or SPACE keys in windows?
