Extracting and enabling the console

[sdweimer]

Thanks that worked, now to find the commands to use. I thought it would mute the music when I enabled the console, not me personally muting the music to enable it.

wanted ot try this but it seems a lot of work at the moment... i'll wait for official console support

[Darklord]

I'm willing to give it a go, could just do with a bit more help.

Okay I got the program that extracted the console.lua file.

Now can I use note++ to open it and look for the info to change to enable the console? If I can can someone tell me what to look for and what to replace what with?

I am sorry to be a newb at this, I don't want to break my game I would just like to fiddle with some basic stuff to increase stats and skills on my characters without needing a trainer or other such program.

[VR_Dragon]

okay how do I open this shell in the LoG directory as required


and how do I run the script?

[VR_Dragon]

someone help please? I am sorry to lack the knowledge to do this on my own.

Hmm I've opened up Python, it seems similar to a dos prompt,

what does this mean?

3. Open a shell in your LoG game directory.

It means to open up a DOS command prompt and change to your LoG directory (e.g cd C:\Games\LoG)

And how do you run the script?

4. Run the script. If you're clever and have mingw, this looks like /c/python27/python foo.py. If you are foolish and use the horrible, lame, Windows shell, this loooks like C:\Python27\python foo.py.

Do I need to open that file using the python prompt? This file doesn't seem to exsist, running the grimrock_console.py program would make more sense.

I think he was just using foo.py as a hypothetical example. Type the same thing at the DOS command prompt using grimrock_console.py in place of foo.py.

Aha cheers, I shall investigate this further later on.

May as well keep this all in one thread, I've merged this with the other.

Alright I gave this a tinker tonight and got it working! I successfully spawned a Tome of Wisdom, so shall use this to make my starting party with additional skill points. (I intend to replay on hard with additional skill points)

I've taken the liberty of updating Seebs guide here for ease of understanding,


1 Download this file from that Seebs has made, you will need to click the link, right click Save As and save it in your LoG folder. (the one with Grimrock.exe)

http://www.seebs.net/tmp/grimrock_console.py

2, Download Python, I used the Python 2.7 from http://www.python.org.

Specifically I run on Windows 7, 64bit and this file below worked for me,

http://www.python.org./ftp/python/2.7.3 ... -2.7.3.msi

3, open a DOS prompt, in Windows 7, click start then type CMD into the search box.

Navigate to your game folder, personally mine was stored in G:\Games\Legend of Grimrock. (to get there I typed g: (press enter) then CD G:\Games\Legend of Grimrock (press enter).

Once there type the below.

c:\python27\python grimrock_console.py

you should see:

found Console.lua
Modifying file...

and get your prompt back, you're set.

4, Next time you start LoG, open options and click the Mute Music Checkbox. Press ~ this opens the console.

You can then do whatever you please bearing in mind,

IT IS VERY EASY TO BREAK YOUR GAME! ALmost Human and myself except no responsibility for this.

So keep anything you do simple, personally like I said at the top, all I have used it for is, creating some Tome's of Wisdom (each gives you 5 skill points)

spawn("tome_wisdom")

Once you are finished escape out of it, then uncheck mute music.

Hope that helps!

Daniel.
