BG3 Debug

Cheats for testing: MCM buttons give the character you control 1000 experience, and turn god mode or +500 damage on and off.

What it does

A cheat mod for testing other mods, builds and fights. Three buttons in the Mod Configuration Menu act on the character you control:

  • Give 1000 XP: the character gets 1000 experience. The other party members get nothing.
  • God mode on/off: the status God Mode; the character takes no damage.
  • +500 damage on/off: the status Debug Damage; the character deals 500 extra damage, with weapon attacks and spells.

The two statuses show on the character's portrait and stay in the savegame until you turn them off.

How to install

  1. Install Norbyte's Script Extender. It updates itself.
  2. Install the Mod Configuration Menu, version 1.41 or later. The official Mod Configuration Menu 1.41 or later works too; keep only one of them.
  3. Download bg3_debug.pak from the latest release on GitHub.
  4. Copy it to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods.
  5. Enable BG3 Debug in your mod manager (BG3 Mod Manager or the in-game mod manager), below the Mod Configuration Menu.

To update the mod, replace the .pak with the one from the new release. To remove it, disable it in the mod manager and delete the .pak. Saves made with the mod can then show a warning about a missing mod.

How to use

  • Open the Mod Configuration Menu (main menu, Esc menu, or the Insert key) and select BG3 Debug.
  • Load a savegame and select the character you want to change. The buttons do nothing in the main menu.
  • Click a button. A short message next to it says what happened, for example "Karlach: god mode on."
  • Click God mode on/off or +500 damage on/off again to turn it off for that character. Each character has its own state.
  • The mod has no settings to store: the experience and the statuses are part of the savegame.
  • To remove the mod, turn both statuses off on every character first.

Compatibility

  • Game version: Patch 8
  • The mod adds two new statuses and changes no game entries, so it should work with other mods.
  • Multiplayer: each player's click acts on the character that this player controls.

Known issues

None yet.

How to build

Anyone can build this mod from its source code and check that the download matches it.

  1. Install the tools: Windows PowerShell 5.1 (part of Windows) and LSLib v1.20.4. Put LSLib into a folder _tools\lslib\ above the repository, or set BG3_TOOLS to the folder that holds lslib\.
  2. Build it: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\build.ps1
  3. Find the file: dist\bg3_debug.pak

The offline tests need Python 3 with lupa: python -m pip install lupa, then python tests\run_tests.py.
