I'm helping a friend mod his game, I got this mod to work fine. his f7 bind doesn't work. he can only open the console with the tilde key (despite being mapped to f7), which doesn't SHOW that the console is open until he starts typing, which then shows all text characters available instead of what he's typing so his console doesn't even work. we followed instructions to the T, can someone please help us? I'm at my wits end here
If he has the steam version this will work: https://steamcommunity.com/app/47810/discussions/0/864978110124038383?l=italian (The first post after the OP links to a guide that provides a step by step description how to do it. I tested it myself and it works)
So just installed Dragon Age Origins Ultimate and then downloaded and ran DAO Mod Manager. It actually has a setting to "Run Dragon Age With Console" and it worked for me - so I don't know why this mod is needed. Maybe Ultimate fixed the issue? I'm running Windows 10.
I wish it would work for me. I'm running Ultimate Edition on Win11 and, though I have followed all instructions on how to enable console in this version, and installed the fonts, I am still typing blind.
both links in the description lead to 404s.... so... that's a thing. if the mod is dependent on something, maybe "future"-proof the links to that thing, idk :/
The Zip file that you download in Files IS the fonts.erf file. The description was probably copied/pasted from elsewhere. Many Nexus mods have been reuploaded either by the modders, or with permission by someone else. Just drop it in your ~/Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/data/ folder.
I can't seem to get this to work. I'm scratching my head, followed all the instructions, other mods are working okay. I tried different resolutions. I can run scripts but no text shows.
Hey everyone, I don't know if anyone still plays this but I just installed it on a laptop I thought wouldn't be able to handle, and BOOM! It works.
I found a nice way to speed up typing the console commands with a small program called "Auto Hot Key" to write simple scripts. I'm not very tech savvy, but I know how to use Google. These are shortcuts for your console command line items you want to use instead of constantly typing it out over and over. Check it out:
(**NOTE**- Right-Click your hotkey script and select "Run with UI Access" or it won't work) the characters in between the :: and :: are the keys you are programming to run the script of whatever follows.
When you open up console command, just type `` and the script with type the command for the first line- runscript healplayer. I used this technique while playing GTA SA so I didn't have to remember all those weird codes and this can be used with more games.
I hope this helps somebody, because it took me awhile to figure out a way to expedite typing out these codes. Later tater.

Yes, Fallout 4/Skyrim have console support, but that's extremely limited.
EA/Origin you can simply add "-enabledeveloperconsole" to the end of the Target Field. I believe this will work for the GOG version as well.
Steam is the only one I know that requires other means to enable the console... The issue is also dependent on the game version - Ultimate Edition.
