Console Commands

You can find how to input these on the page Console and Debug Panel.

Not all of the commands are locked behind debug mode, and so are categorized here for clarity. Search this page for one if you are unsure what it does.

Some of these are not so much commands as just variables the game reads, although that's not particularly important to note the main difference is that when used without an input, a variable will report what the current value is (eg: g_bShowAreaLoadTimes defaults to 0 so putting it in will print "0", and editing it will return the new value).

Trace Command

Command

Valid Operators

Notes and Description

trace <x>

x is another console command (plus if you want its parameters)

Will display the output of the console command at the bottom of the screen updating it frequently. More than one can be displayed by running it multiple times, it adds a new row at the bottom each time.

Most commonly used with fps, eg: trace fps although there are better ways of displaying FPS in NWN:EE.

Note there appears there is no way to turn off a trace line once started.

untrace <x>

x is either a console command being traced, or leave blank to remove all traces

Removes traces in progress (although thier last output may persist on the screen)

Player Commands

These can be run by players at any point. They are client specific and don't alter anything on the server or running module.

Command	Valid Operators	Notes and Description
d2 X d3 X d4 X d6 X d8 X d10 X d12 X d20 X d100 X	X is an positive integer number of dice (No value, or 0 or lower will default to 1)	Simply outputs in the console area the result of a dice role, eg; d4 10 rolls 4d10 for a value between 10 and 40.
makesafe		Moves the current player to a valid, walkable space if they are stuck in a creature or a wall or similar
hidepartynames		Hides names on the partybar GUI
showpartynames		Shows names on the partybar GUI
keyholetoggle		Toggles the keyholing mode on and off. Also available in the options. Will report back on what it does.
ConvertPortrait <filename>		Converts a potential portrait jpg to a NWN compatible TGA format (in all the sizes), using this methodology: Place the jpeg file (e.g. my_pic.jpg - no more than 16 characters in the name) in the `portraits` subdirectory, eg: Documents\Neverwinter Nights\portraits Start the game, then start (or load) a game. Enter the console command ConvertPortrait followed by the name of the image without the extension (e.g. ConvertPortrait my_pic). You'll find the new .tga files in the `portraits` subdirectory While this procedure does produce files of the appropriate sizes, it is often not the best method for producing portraits. Many of the better portraits involve cropping the image for the smaller sizes, instead of simply scaling the full image down. Cropping allows for more detailed portraits at the larger sizes, while not overloading the smaller sizes with too much detail. For example, some portraits show the full body in the huge size, head and shoulders in the medium size, and just the face in the tiny size.
SetResolution <x> <y>	x is a the X resolution, y is the Y resolution	May not work correctly, but should set the resolution of the game. Really unnecessary and should use the options panel.
Gamma <x>	x is the amount of Gamma to set (float value). No value means it displays the current Gamma.	Gamma can be also set in the game options, which is not altered by this command, so presumably it is session only. Default value is 2.2
cfg <key> <value>	key are Game Options in TML form value are the valid options (use 1 / true for turning on boolean ones, or some other value like 0 for turning off)	Sets a configuration option (will persist after exiting the game). Useful for quickbar (##cfg x y) Example this will turn on tilefade: cfg graphics.second-story-tiles.mode 2 This will turn it off: cfg graphics.second-story-tiles.mode 1
fps		FPS counter, use with trace for a "better" version although there is a persistent FPS counter in the options
setchatbuffersize X	X is a positive integer	Sets the chat buffer size, ie amount of messages in the message window that are retained. Unknown limits or what the default is, but setting it very low starts cutting off a lot of the chat window. Default value is 256 lines.
showpartynames		Enables party names in the GUI on the side panel (enabled by default). Oddly this isn't a game option.
hidepartynames		Disables party names in the GUI on the side panel

DebugMode and DM Login

The command that anyone can type in, but only works if you are a DM in an online module, or playing a singleplayer game, is debug mode. This is also available on the Debug Panel.

Command

Valid Operators

Notes and Description

DebugMode X

If X is 1 or -1 it enables debug mode.

If it is any other number it disables it if it is enabled.

Debug mode allows advanced and game altering console commands to be entered.

You gain access to several DM shortcuts even if you are not a full DM. To be a full DM properly use the commands dm_login and dm_logout

In addition, hitting the period (.) key while in this mode calls up the "Chooser" window of the DM client, allowing the player to manipulate creatures, encounters, triggers, and waypoints.

If you hit x then the game will popup a debug of the location chosen. The grid is useful for noting for light functions: SetTileMainLightColor and SetTileSourceLightColor (they're 0 indexed),

Furthermore, the plus key (+) can be used to instantly move the player's character to wherever the mouse cursor is pointing (provided it is pointing to a surface on which a creature can walk).

To aid the person doing the debugging, all traps are made visible while debug mode is on, and those triggers that are normally hidden are shown as yellow shapes on the ground. (The latter is a rather noticeable indicator that debug mode had been accidentally left on.)

dm_login <pw>

pw is the password that is needed for DM access set on the server

Become a sudo-DM, you gain all the DM powers temporarily (panels appear, you can go invisible, you become invincible etc.). This can be used instead of DebugMode if the server allows it (DebugMode on a server only works if you are already a DM).

The password is set on the server so in singleplayer mode will not be set.

dm_logout

Logs out of the sudo-DM mode, returning to being a player. If you are possessing a creature you're kicked out from it.

Server Admin Commands

These might only work if you're hosting the server as a live client (ie through Mutliplayer → New Internet/LAN game. If someone tests these using a dedicated server it probably will require some form of permissions that even DM mode doesn't grant, however the dedicated server instance may allow these to be input in their console.

Command	Valid Operators	Notes and Description
setserveradminpassword <password>	password is a string for password, or blank to remove	"Success" sets the password for the server admin login. "Failure" means there are not the relevant permissions.
setgamemasterpassword <password>	password is a string for password, or blank to remove	"Success" sets the password for the DM login. "Failure" means there are not the relevant permissions.
banplayername <name>	name is a players name (not their character name)	"Success" adds the name to the banned player list (although it doesn't doesn't kick the player that has to be done separately). "Failure" means there are not the relevant permissions.
banplayerip <ipaddress>	ipaddress is a standard IP address like 10.0.0.1	"Success" adds the ip to the banned IP list (although it doesn't kick the player that has to be done separately). "Failure" means there are not the relevant permissions.
bancdkey <cdkey>	cdkey is a players public CD key	"Success" adds the cd key to the banned CD key list (although it doesn't kick the player that has to be done separately). "Failure" means there are not the relevant permissions.
unbanplayername <name>	name is a players name (not their character name)	"Success" removes the name from the banned player list. "Failure" means there are not the relevant permissions.
unbanplayerip <ipaddress>	ipaddress is a standard IP address like 10.0.0.1	"Success" removes the ip from the banned ip list. "Failure" means there are not the relevant permissions.
unbancdkey <cdkey>	cdkey is a players public CD key	"Success" removes the cd key from the banned cd key list. "Failure" means there are not the relevant permissions.
getbannedlist	None	This shows the amount of banss for each category and thier contents, eg adding CD key 1234:

Builder Commands

These should work regardless of debug mode and may be useful for builders.

Command	Valid Operators	Notes and Description
WorkshopUpload <full path to your mod directory>	The path must be something like C:\Path\To My Modification	See guide here and illustrated guide here. Uploads a mod to the workshop - will be hidden by default. Not entering anything uploads a blank one with no title!
MakePano <yaw_steps=18> <pitch_steps=4> <view_angle=40>	<yaw_steps=18> <pitch_steps=4> <view_angle=40>	Used to generate panoramic source data, for use in stitching programs Outputs TGA files to Documents\Neverwinter Nights\screenshots By default creates 90 files called "MakePano_pAA_yBBB.tga" where pitch "AA" value is 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180 and yaw "BBB" value is 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300, 320, 340. Overwrites the old ones if you run this command again.
renderaabb <x>	x is 1 for mode on, 0 for mode off	This function produces visual information about the current tileset's walkmesh. Available in the Debug Panel which has other advanced render options.
rendertilepathnodes <x>	x is 1 for mode on, 0 for mode off	This function produces visual information about the edges of tiles and tile features. Available in the Debug Panel which has other advanced render options.
shadowfliporder <x>	1 to turn on the shadow flip order	From 1.85.8193.31: Fixed some common shadow rendering issues related to "behind" stencil tests. It does not fix every issue, however, and in rare cases, some issues may become more apparent - but all in all, the benefits should outweigh the drawbacks. The old approach can be restored with using "shadowfliporder 1" in the console.
printvertextdata	n/a	From 1.85.8193.31: Added a new console command ‘printvertexdata’. Prints an overview of the amount of memory currently used for vertex data (model geometry) to the client log.
dm_enablecombatdebugging <x>	`x` is either 0 or 1.	This function will enable and display additional information about how attacks, damage, and saving throws are computed. It's probably not a in-game toggle option due to the amount of information shown. Gets very spammy, example below - the extra white text is the combat debugging. Not tested to see if it includes absolutely everything - NWN's combat engine is quite complex.
dm_enablehitdiedebugging <x>	x is either 0 or 1.	If enabled it will display in the top left the dice rolls for level up dice. Only really useful for builders to confirm the classes.2da level up hit dice work correctly.
displaystrref <start> <end> <gender>	start and end are the string ref ID start and end gender is the gender (0 is male, 1 is female).	Prints the given string references from the TLK file to the chat window (so won't work on the main menu).
setglobalwind <yaw> <pitch>	yaw and pitch are floating values	Equivalent to SetAreaWind script command
setglobalwindvariation <yaw> <pitch>	yaw and pitch are floating values	I think this is to do with the magnitude setting of SetAreaWind
g_bShowAreaLoadTimes <x>	x is either 0 to disable or some other integer to enable	Shows the area load time in miliseconds in the top left console area after loading. Can check how long area times take as you add more static objects and tiles to an area.

Model Compiler

There is also a command line compiler option but these are recommended to use once a model is loaded in the game. These all output to a new folder in your user data folder: Documents\Neverwinter Nights\modelcompiler

Command	Valid Operators	Notes and Description
compileloadedmodels		Compiles all loaded models, including binary
compileloadedasciimodels		Compiles all loaded models, only ASCII.
compilemodel <name>	<name> is a resref name, eg; "mymodel" for "mymodel.mdl"	Specific model, will load and unload it for you even if it is not currently loaded. Note like the command line this will not work with skinmesh models unless the model is loaded and visible to the client (and in those cases just use compileloadedmodels instead).

Performance Stats

These commands record FPS information and outputs it back. Now generally replaced by the much more in depth Tracy.

Command	Valid Operators	Notes and Description
perfstats <toggle>	toggle is either "on" or "off"	Other commands cannot work without it being turned on
perfstats_show <id>	id is a 0+ integer of stats to show. Defaults to 0.	Shows the current recorded perfstats after starting:
perfstats_list		Frame or Second are options not entirely sure how this works.
perfstats_start <id>	id is a 0+ integer for which to start. Defaults to 0.	Starts performance stat collection
perfstats_stop <id>	id is a 0+ integer for which to stop. Defaults to 0.	Stops performance stat collection and deletes it
perfstats_threshold <threshold>	threshold is a floating variable for the threshold to record stats. Default is 1.0.

Debug Mode

These require being a DM or in DebugMode to execute, and are considered cheats.

Dungeon Master Commands

Command	Valid Operators	Equivalent Script Command	Notes and Description
dm_visualeffect <id> <duration>	id is the visualeffects.2da line reference durration is the duration of the effect, in seconds (float value)	EffectVisualEffect	Selection mode comes up (using ir_wave as the cursor if you wondered), and will tell the server to play a VFX at the given location or on the given creature for the given duration. eg: "dm_visualeffect 11 10.5" will play the barkskin VFX on a given object for 10.5 seconds VFX requiring a source object have it play from will not work (eg MIRV VFX, like magic missiles).
dm_allspells <X>	`x` is either 0 or 1.		This function will enable all spells from all classes to be cast by the player if a value of 1 is specified. Specifying 0 will disable this and the player will only be allowed to cast spells his/her character is permitted according to that character's class/abilities. This command is only functional for ordinary players if debug mode is active at the moment of casting.
dm_gettime		HoursToSeconds, GetCalendarYear, GetCalendarMonth, GetCalendarDay, GetTimeHour, GetTimeMinute, GetTimeSecond.	This function will display the current game time of the module on screen. It retrieves the values MinutesPerHour, Year, Month, Day, Hour, and TimeOfDayState (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night). Most of this can also be checked by mousing over the compass in the bottom right. It does not display minutes, seconds, or microseconds. To get those values you will need to script for them.
dm_settime <h> <m> <s> <ms>	`h` is the hour to set the time to. `m` is the minutes to set the time to. `s` is the seconds to set the time to. `ms` is the milliseconds to set the time to.	SetTime(int nHour, int nMinute, int nSecond, int nMillisecond);	This function will set the game time in the module to the specified hour, minute, second, and millisecond. The <m> minute argument is dependent on the module's MinutesPerHour setting (default 2) so value's over that setting (ie 2-59) will give unexpected results so it's important to keep your minutes below the MinutesPerHour setting. i.e. for 10 seconds before Dusk using the default you can type dm_settime 17 1 50 0. Use dm_gettime above to retrieve the module's MinutesPerHour setting.
dm_giveXP <x> GiveXP <x>	`X` is an integer value indicating the amount of experience points to give.	GiveXPToCreature(oObject, x);	This function will activate target mode. The target you click will be given the specified amount of experience points. Need to test if it takes into account multiclass penalties.
dm_givegold <x>	`X` is an integer value indicating the amount of gold to give.	GiveGoldToCreature(oObject, x);	This function will activate target mode. The target you click will be given the specified amount of gold.
dm_givelevel <x> GiveLevel <x>	`x` is an integer value indicating the number of experience levels to give or take away.	SetXP(oObject, x); - you can calculate the XP needed for the next level from the 2da file exptable.2da	This function will activate target mode. The target you click will be given enough experience points to advance the specified number of experience levels, or the amount of experience is taken away and delevels them. If they are already ready to level up, adding just 1 level won't do anything. For instance GiveLevel 1, then GiveLevel 1 - the second does nothing. While GiveLevel 1 then GiveLevel 2 will make them 2 levels higher (if they missed levelling up in between the commands).
dm_god		SetPlotFlag(OBJECT_SELF, TRUE);	This function will make the player invulnerable (essentially sets the plot flag) using it again toggles it off.
dm_heal		ApplyEffectToObject(OBJECT_SELF, EffectRessurection()); ApplyEffectToObject(OBJECT_SELF, EffectHeal(GetMaxHitPoints(OBJECT_SELF)));	This function will ressurect and restore the player back to full hitpoints. Can be used when dead.
dm_jumptopoint <x> <y> <area>	`x` and `y` are floating point values indicating the (x,y)-coordinates to jump to within the target area. `area` is the tag of the area to jump to.		This function will send the player to the specified x,y coordinate in the area specified. Given debug mode and DM mode has the chooser menu under using the period (.) key this is a little unnecessary. Also debug mode and DM mode has a Jump To in the same area - press + on the number pad, or as a DM right click a spot.
dm_levelup		SetXP(OBJECT_SELF, x); - you can calculate the XP needed for the next level from the 2da file exptable.2da	This function will advance the player by one level of experience, unless they are already waiting to level up in which case it does nothing.
dm_movetoarea <area>	`area` is the area tag of the area to move to.		This function will move the player to the specified area.
dm_runscript <script> runscript <script>	`script` is the name of the script to run.		This function will run the specified script.
dm_showarea			This function will reveal all the tiles in the current area by removing the 'fog of war'.
dm_spawncreature <creature>	`creature` is the ResRef of the creature to spawn in.		This function will effectively cause the player to summon the specified creature.
dm_spawnitem <item>	`item` is the ResRef of the item to create.		This function will create the specified item on the ground under the mouse cursor.
dm_mylittlepony			This function will enable a cool visual treat! Typing it again will toggle the effect off.
dm_cowsfromhell			This function will summon, well... cows from hell! Should be used with care (or only if one does not care) as it can kill plot characters.

Creature Statistic Modification

These will almost absolutely invalidate a character when ELC is turned on (DMs are obviously exempt from this check).

To do:

Do these changes get saved to the BIC if exported?
Which are permanent and which are temporary?
If things are modified does it count for level up purposes?

Setting it will do an absolute value.

Local Variable Manipulation

These help do some debugging and some very simple variable manipulation in case quests are stuck etc.

For the object commands you can select these in game objects:

Creatures
Objects (on the ground or in inventories)
Current Area (select an empty patch of ground)
Placeables
Doors

You cannot seem to select triggers or encounters - they are greyed out even if Display Triggers in DM mode is on.

The specified local variable will be retrieved from the target you click and be displayed on screen. Objects are referred to by integer IDs, and will return 2130706432 as "Invalid Object" (not set or object no longer exists).
dm_getvarstring <varname> GetVarString <varname>	`varname` is the name of the variable to get.	GetLocalString(oObject, "varname");	This function will activate target mode. The specified local variable will be retrieved from the target you click and be displayed on screen.
dm_getvarvector <varname> GetVarVector <varname>	`varname` is the name of the variable to get.	There is no vector local type	This doesn't do anything, since setting a vector then getting it doesn't return anything. Precursor to full "locations" perhaps.
Object Set (select an object, or the ground for the area)
dm_setvarfloat <varname> <value> SetVarFloat <varname> <value>	`varname` is the name of the variable to set. `value` is a floating point value that `varname` will be set to.	SetLocalFloat(oObject, "varname", value);	This function will activate target mode. The target you click will have a local variable set with the specified name and value.
dm_setvarint <varname> <value> SetVarInt <varname> <value>	`varname` is the name of the variable to set. `value` is an integer value that `varname` will be set to.

Faction Commands

Command	Valid Operators	Equivalent Script Command	Notes and Description
dm_getfactionreputation <x> <y>	`X` and `Y` are the names of factions.	Not possible by faction name, but is possible if you have two creatures to test.	This function will retrieve the reputation value for how faction2 feels about faction1 and display it. You cannot run faction commands by faction name in scripts.
dm_setfaction <faction>	`faction` is the name of the faction to set the target to.	Not possible by faction name, but is possible if you have a creature in the target faction to add them to.	This function will activate target mode. The target you click will have its faction set to the one specified.
dm_setfactiondefender		ChangeToStandardFaction(oObject, STANDARD_FACTION_DEFENDER);	This function will activate target mode. The target you click will have its faction set to be in the defender standard faction.
dm_setfactionenemy		ChangeToStandardFaction(oObject, STANDARD_FACTION_HOSTILE);	This function will activate target mode. The target you click will have its faction set to be in the hostile standard faction.
dm_setfactionreputation <faction1> <faction2> <x>	`faction1` and `faction2` are the names of factions. `x` is an integer value indicating the value to set the reputation value to.	Not possible by faction name, but is possible if you have two creatures to test.	This function will set the reputation value for how faction2 feels about faction1 (0 is hostile, 100 is friendly)

Other Commands

Advanced Developer Commands

These are rarely needed by modders, but might be useful in rare cases. Mostly they are from development of the engine.

Command	Valid Operators	Notes and Description
PleaseCrash	None	Instantly crashes the game. Used for testing/generating crash reports.
setmousemode <modetype>	modetype can be 0 or 1, for software versus hardware mouse	For quickly changing mouse type without using the options panel.
glenablelight0 <x> SetGLLight0 <x>	x should be 1 to enable or 0 to disable	Enabled a global set of lights, presumably used by Bioware to test darker areas in a pinch
setheadlightproperties <diffuse rgb> <ambient rgb>	diffuse rgb / ambient rgb are floating point values (0.0 - 1.0) and need to be formatted with spaces between each rgb value, eg: setheadlightproperties 1.0 0.2 0.1 0.8 0.8 0.2	Defaults are: diffuse: 0.8f, 0.8f, 0.8f ambient: 0.2f, 0.2f, 0.2f
controlpart <gob> <part> <attributename> <value>	Can be used to control parts of a model. <gob> is usually the name of a model (although it might be different as per the example in the description, where the model "gidy_sun" is loaded as a gob object "sun") <part> is the name of a node/part on that model (eg: "gidy_sun_amb") <attributename> is an attribute of that part (eg "color") <value> is some kind of value to set the attribute to. Could be a vector (rgb value for instance) if so separate by spaces.	Oddly used by the engine itself to change the sun and global illumination so provides some examples: controlpart sun gidy_sun_amb color r g b controlpart sun gidy_sun_diff color r g b (r / g / b in these instances are 0.0 - 1.0 floats). Note these now can be controled by scripting in EE with SetAreaLightColor / Direction, and since this is a client side only command is only useful for brief testing if you're willing to type out a lot of text.
printpooldata	None	Will print out to log some information on the geometry of the currently rendered scene, eg: GEOMETRY MEMORY POOL OVERVIEW Number of pools: 6400, Free: 2868 Total pool size: 2211668 Allocated: 21 Uploaded: 21, Size: 1443584 Element arrays: 890
printvertexdata	None	Will print out to log some information on the vertex data of the currently rendered scene, eg: VERTEX SHARED DATA STORE OVERVIEW Vertex data objects: Index Type Static attrib Attribs size Dynamic attrib Attribs size Num items Verts alloc Verts used Elements alloc Elements used Total mem alloc 1 2 204 16 0 0 1543 32768 14944 0 0 524288 2 1 886 36 0 0 1756 16384 11684 32768 19764 655360 3 1 806 32 0 0 34 128 52 256 78 4608 4 1 2 12 804 20 592 2048 216 4096 336 73728 5 0 804 20 0 0 2 8 8 0 0 160 6 1 802 20 4 12 12 2048 619 4096 1932 73728 Element stream memory allocated: 8192 Total vertex memory allocated: 1331872 Vertex stream data objects: Index Attrib Attribs size Verts alloc Elements alloc Total mem alloc 0 804 20 1024 0 20480 1 5 16 11 0 176 2 805 24 6 0 144 3 5 16 32 0 512 4 805 24 1024 0 24576 5 805 24 2048 0 49152 Total vertex stream memory allocated: 95040 Total memory allocated: 1435104
g_nScreenHeight <x>	x is the number of pixels the screen has to render	This will change the rendering size - but not the Window size, and outside it usually is just the fog colour. Likely used for testing.
g_nScreenWidth <x>	x is the number of pixels the screen has to render	As above
g_nFullScreenRefreshRate <x>	x is the refresh rate (eg 60)	This doesn't seem to work - but presumably set the refresh rate before modern EE changes to the renderer.
Shader related
g_nHDRFramebuffers<x>	integer	Various shader-related variables for testing.

Scene GUI

The scene GUI things all start with SceneGUI. Then an underscore, then the name below.

They represent the scene - ie GUI elements and the like that are not loaded tiles/creatures/effects in the world view.

If you have any success using these for something practical edit this description - else assume these just report the given member values for debugging purposes and don't allow edits.

Scene GUI Name	Notes and Description
Overlay
MouseOverlay

These are the modifiers for the above parameters. Therefore SceneGUI_Ingame.ambient is valid.

Scene Members	Type	Notes and Description
ambient	vector
fog	boolean (int)
fogcolor	vector
fogstart	float
fogend	float
focus	vector

Model Parsing Commands

These are actually used by the engine to interpret MDL ASCII - the game sees "newanim" then runs the relevant section. Why they are publicly exposed is anyones guess since there is literally no point in trying to "construct a model" using these via. console commands since some bits just won't work right (since the surrounding code parsing the ascii model is not setup).

Basically ignore these commands they are specifically for the model parser and are useless for players or modders. But hey, some may just crash your game!

Command	Notes and Description
newanim
newmodel
donemodel
beginmodelgeom
classification
ignorefog
setsupermodel
setanimationscale

Broken Commands

You never want to use these, they're basically broken, or just not do anything.

Command	Valid Operators	Notes and Description
GOGInvite		If running through GoG should popup the invite overlay, but NWN doesn't support it so presumably left in just for testing purposes.
g_bNiceClient		Technically an integer, the game simply doesn't use this at all for anything. Presumably used for older Bioware debugging maybe testing cheat commands.
