<li>Ensure Melvor Idle is closed - modifying game files while the game is running may result in unexpected behaviour</li> | |||
<li>Download Melvor Idle on Steam or Epic, and find the installation folder. e.g. <code>[...]/steamapps/common/Melvor Idle</code> | |||
<br/>Not sure where it's installed? It is possible to locate the installation folder through the Steam & Epic clients:</li> | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>'''Steam:''' Locate Melvor Idle within your library, right click, then click <code>Properties</code> - a window should appear. Within this window, click <code>Installed Files</code> → <code>Browse..</code></li> | |||
<li>'''Epic:''' Locate Melvor Idle within your library, right click, then click <code>Manage</code> - a window should appear. Within this window, click on the folder icon within the Installation section | |||
</ul> | |||
<li>Open the <code>package.nw</code> folder then <code>package.json</code>. Inside <code>package.json</code>, find <code>"chromium-args":</code> and then remove <code>--disable-devtools</code> and save the changes.</li> | |||
<li>Verify DevTools have been successfully enabled by opening Melvor Idle, then pressing the F12 key once loaded. If successful, the DevTools window should appear</li> | |||
</ol> | |||
'''IMPORTANT''': When running commands through the console, you must switch from 'Top' to 'game' in the top left corner or else any commands will not function properly. This must be done every time the console is opened. | |||
