BG Key Terms List

Post by Ekental »

There is a list of questions that come up every now and again... and when people answer many of the questionees give a "whats that" response.
This is a quick Key Terms list to define the Acronyms and such of key terms and phrases used on the forums.

I looked at the stickied FAQs and the terms weren't really defined.... so I'm starting one now.

Editing Tools:
SK (Shadowkeeper)

CLUA/CLUAConsole
The in game editing tool used by the BG devs and can do things such as spawn monsters, teleport the party, create items, do several thousand damage to a creature.
A general list of commands:

Guys, this thread is for BG terms, not general acronyms. I've removed a post that was off-topic. Let's keep things focused. Thanks.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
