Cheat Mode
This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "Icewind.ini" file in the game directory. Add the line "Cheats=1" under the "[Game Options]" section. Start the game and press [Ctrl] + [Tab] to display the console window. Type the following case-sensitive command to enable cheat mode: GETYOURCHEATON:EnableCheatKeys();
Then, enter one of the following codes during game play to activate the corresponding cheat function.
Granted Wish - Code
Move selected characters to pointer position - [Ctrl] + J
Heal or resurrect the selected character or portrait - [Ctrl] + R
Kill selected monster or NPC with no EXP - [Ctrl] + Y
Display trigger polygons; shows traps - [Ctrl] + 4
Display character bounding boxes - [Ctrl] + 9
Easier hard or insane mode
Use a text editor to edit the "Icewind.ini" file in the game folder. Change the "Suppress Extra Difficulty Damage=0" line to "Suppress Extra Difficulty Damage=1". This eliminates the 150% and 200% increases to monster damage (and experience points) under the hard and insane difficulty settings.
