Dev-Console Unlock Guide

Developer Console Unlock Guide

This simple guide is here to inform & help you unlock the UE4 console included with the game, along with help setup a launcher that can automatically run the game with the console enabled. (in other words, permanently enabling the console)

Should be useful to anyone that's interested in modding the game, especially anyone interested in modding the games setting variables!

Thanks to Otis_Inf & SunBeam there are now two options for unlocking the console: the TOW-specific unlocker by SunBeam, and the Universal UE4 Unlocker by Otis_Inf. I'll explain how to set them both up below. Mostly they both work the same, but it's up to you which one to use.

After you've set up an unlocker you can then use the UE4 Console Launcher available in the "Files" section of this page, which can launch the game and automatically inject the unlocker for you - with that you can create a shortcut to the launcher, and pretty much permanently have the console unlocked and available for use!

SunBeam's The Outer Worlds Unlocker

• []Visit SunBeam's thread and download the unlocker ZIP file: https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10673

  []Extract the contents of the ZIP somewhere. (password for the ZIP archive is available on SunBeam's thread!)

  []Start the game.

  []Once at the main-menu, alt-tab out of the game.

  []Run the IGCSInjector.exe file you extracted earlier, which should give a "Done! Enjoy!" message if the injection was successful.

  []Alt-tab back into the game, and now press the Tilde key (left of the '1' key) to open the console - one press will open a mini-console, two presses opens the full thing.

  Alternatively:

  Otis_Inf's Universal UE4 Unlocker

  • []Visit the FRAMED communities website and download the unlocker ZIP file: https://framedsc.github.io/GeneralGuides/universal_ue4_consoleunlocker.htm#downloading-the-unlocker

    []Extract the contents of the ZIP somewhere.

    []Start the game

    []Once at the main-menu, alt-tab out of the game.

    []Run the IGCSInjectorUI.exe file you extracted earlier, and choose the IndianaEpicGameStore-Win64-Shipping.exe process to inject into.

    []Press the "Inject DLL" button, and hopefully a successful message will appear.

    []Alt-tab back into the game, and now press the Tilde key (left of the '1' key) to open the console - one press will open a mini-console, two presses opens the full thing.

    UE4 Console Launcher

    You can also make use of the UE4 Console Launcher to launch the game and automatically handle injecting the DLL for you - no need to alt-tab back and forth, it'll take care of it all transparently - making the game pretty much permanently have the console enabled!
    • []Choose an unlocker above, and extract the files for it into the games Win64 folder (next to the IndianaEpicGameStore-Win64-Shipping.exe file)

      [](if using SunBeam's unlocker, make sure the IGCSInjector.ini file included with it is also extracted there)

      []Download the console launcher from the Files section, and extract the UE4ConsoleLaunch.exe into the Win64 folder.

      []Now just run the UE4ConsoleLaunch.exe - it should launch the game and after a few seconds the console will be unlocked.

      []Press the Tilde key (left of the '1' key) to open the console - one press will open a mini-console, two presses opens the full thing.

      With the launcher set up, feel free to make a shortcut to the UE4ConsoleLaunch.exe / add it to Steam as a non-Steam game / whatever you like!

      Commands

      Besides changing variables with the console (eg. enter r. MaxAnisotropy 16 to set the r. MaxAnisotropy value to 16) there's also a bunch of commands included with the game that you can make use of too, some of these are described below, hopefully more to be added as we figure out how they work:

      SaveGame bIgnoreSuperNova 1 0 - creates a new save game, even on Supernova difficulty

      ShowHUD - toggles HUD display

      ToggleDebugCamera - toggles debug camera (aka freecam)

      Teleport - teleports your character to where debug camera is facing

      AddCurrency <amount> 1 - adds amount of currency to your inventory

      QuestStart <questname> - start
