Console commands

This page lists the codes that may be input into the Console Window, a special debugging window that may be accessed on non-ironman games -whilst in debug mode- by pressing Shift+2, ALT+2+1, Shift+3,§, ~, ^, °, ², or ` (key varies based upon keyboard layout). For QWERTY keyboards, the key is `. Otherwise, Shift + Alt + C may work if the combinations above did not. Press the up or down arrow keys to traverse through previously executed commands. Many codes can be turned off by repeating the command, but sometimes reloading the save or exiting the game is necessary.

Character IDs can be seen by hovering the cursor over a character with debug mode enabled.

Debug mode

Debug mode is a set of game tools that allow to modify game behavior outside of normal means. It includes:

• Console Window (accepts console commands)
• Debug Menus (including the Portrait Editor, GUI Editor, Tweak Menu and others)
• Debug Info
• Debug Character Interactions (user can instantly change opinion, imprison and more)
• Ctrl + clicking on a portrait takes control of the character, while Alt + click kills them
• File watcher that automatically reloads changed files (including mods) into memory

Enabling debug mode

Debug mode can be enabled before launching the game and/or toggled in the game using mods. It can be disabled from the console, but can't be re-enabled after it's closed (unless with mods).

How to enable it:

Mods

There are a number of mods, like Free Console Access and Debug Toggle.

They allow to toggle the debug mode on and off, making it convenient to use the console and play, but this doesn't enable instant reloading of files. For modding, it's better to use both a mod and launch options.

Launcher

In the game Launcher:

1. Switch to Game Settings on the left
2. Scroll down to "Open game in Debug Mode" section and click Launch

Steam

On Steam:

1. Right-click the game, open Properties
2. Add -debug_mode to the Launch Options at the bottom
3. Start the game

Windows

Without Steam, on Windows:

1. Go to your CK3 directory, "binaries" folder
2. Right-click ck3.exe and create a shortcut
3. Right-click the shortcut, open Properties
4. In the Target field add -debug_mode at the end (so it looks like this "...\ck3.exe" -debug_mode)
5. Launch the game using the shortcut

GOG

On GOG:

1. Right-click the game, open Settings
2. Check "Add command line arguments" and enter debug_mode

On GOG Galaxy 2.0:

1. In the game page, select Settings (next to the Play button at the top of the page)
2. Open Manage installation and select Configure...
3. Make sure the Launch parameters "Custom executables / arguments" is ticked at the bottom of the page. You can duplicate the "startgame" executable and type -debug_mode into the Arguments field.

Xbox Game Pass

For the Xbox Game Pass / Windows 10 Store edtion it's more complicated, as you cannot create a normal shortcut for it, so you'll have to run the following commands in Command Prompt every time you open the game:

start shell:AppsFolder\ParadoxInteractive.ProjectTitus_zfnrdv2de78ny!App -debug_mode

To simplify it, you can also create a batch (.bat) file with this command and run it from the desktop:

1. Right-click on your Desktop, choose New -> Text Document.
2. Rename it to "ck3.bat". Make sure to remove ".txt" from the end. Confirm changes when prompted.
3. Right-click the file and select Edit.
4. Paste the command: start shell:AppsFolder\ParadoxInteractive.ProjectTitus_zfnrdv2de78ny!App -debug_mode
5. Save the file
6. Double-click it to start the game

Disabling debug mode

To activate achivements again, disable all active mods and remove -debug_mode from launch options. After launching the game, make sure you have the correct checksum. It can be found in the right corner in the Main Menu.

Debug info

When debug mode is activated, characters, interactions and events will show debug info which is normally hidden during normal gameplay.

Characters

The following values are shown for characters under debug mode:

Name	Description
ID	The character's ID. Used to reference them in events and console commands.

• Event ID
• Character for whom the event triggered
• Root character
• Saved event targets
• Saved list targets
• Descriptions

Interactions

In a given interaction's menu, hovering over the purple R next to the final button will show the root scope, the primary/secondary actors and the primary/secondary recipients.

Cheats

Cheats are console commands that can be used to give unfair advantages as opposed to sole testing purposes. They are different from scripted commands. Note that pressing the Tab key with the debug window open will show a list of commands, and pressing tab again after typing chosen command will show parameters available for the command in the debug window.

Trait Tags

Main article: Traits

All traits have a tag that is referenced internally by the game. They can be found in game\common\traits\00_traits.txt. A trait's tag typically matches its name. To get a trait's tag from its name, perform the following steps:

• If a trait displays two names in-game, use the one in brackets
• Replace spaces ( ) and dashes (-) with underscores (_)
• Remove all apostrophes (')
• Turn all upper case letters into lower case (A...Z->a...z)

Traits that do not follow this pattern have been listed below for reference.

Title Tags

Main article: Titles

All titles have an internal title tag that can be found in game\common\landed_titles\00_landed_titles.txt. Title tags have a prefix based on their rank, followed by an underscore (_) and then their name.

Rank	Prefix	Example
Barony	b_	Wigmore -> b_wigmore
County	c_	Sundgau -> c_sundgau
Duchy	d_	Sicily -> d_sicily
Kingdom	k_	Denmark -> k_denmark
Empire	e_	Persia -> e_persia

Title Tags can also be seen in their respective title lists:

• List of baronies
• List of counties
• List of duchies
• List of kingdoms
• List of empires

Finding title tags based on in-game name

The title ID may not match the title's name in-game. For example, the player may have their game set to a language other than English or a title has a culture-specific name. Use the following steps to find a title ID purely on its in-game name:

• Navigate to the file located at game\localization\LANGUAGE\titles_l_LANGUAGE.yml, replacing LANGUAGE with your game language.
• Open the file with a text editor like Notepad++ and search for any instances of the in-game name using CTRL + F.
• If you managed to find a match:
  • The line should look similar to b_my_barony_name:0 "In-game name for barony".
  • The title ID is the word before the :0, therefore being b_my_barony_name in this example.
• If you could not find a match:
  • Close the file.
  • In the same folder as the previous file, open the file titles_cultural_names_l_LANGUAGE.yml, replacing LANGUAGE appropriately.
  • Repeat your search for the title's in-game name in this file.
  • When you find a match, it should look like so: cn_lunden:0 "Lunden".
  • Remember/copy the word before the :0 (in this example, cn_lunden); this is a cultural name key of the title.
  • Close the file.
  • Navigate to the file game\common\landed_titles\00_landed_titles.txt and open it with your text editor.
  • Perform a search for the cultural name key you found in the previous file (e.g., cn_lunden).
  • The search query should land within a block named cultural_names enclosed by curly brackets ({, }).
  • Read the lines above until you reach another start of a block (denoted by b_london = {). Ignore any blocks like color = { or color2 ={.
  • The word in place of b_london is your title ID.

Finding custom title tags

Custom titles (i.e. the title of a player created Empire) do not follow the same naming convention. To find the ID:

• From the debug console use the command explorer to open Object Browser
• In Object Browser choose Provider: Landed Titles
• Enter search term
• Hover over the Name field to show the title card
