Reveal Hidden Gameplay Options
Download: Reveal Hidden Gameplay Options (latest)
Overview
The Enhanced Editions provide a great number of settings that are not directly accessible within the in-game options menu, but instead have to be enabled or disabled manually in the game's configuration file which might discourage less computer-savvy players from using them.This mods adds a number of useful options directly to the game, which includes the (in)famous debug console, various graphics and feedback settings, and more.
The mod is available in English, French, German, Polish and Portuguese.
Compatibility
The mod supports all Enhanced Edition games patched to v2.0 or higher, which includes BG:EE, BG:SoD, BG2:EE, EET and PST:EE. It is also compatible with Pecca's "Dragonspear UI++" and Lefreut's Enhanced UI (LeUI). Some options may be moved into other sections when these mods have been detected.The mod can not be installed together with EEUITweaks component "Hidden Game Options". You can install either one, but not both at the same time.
Patching UI definition files can be tricky. To ensure that a failed patch attempt does not corrupt the game it will fail with a forced error and restore the original state of the patched files.
