Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.

It only works after a module is loaded, since the main menu has no chat line. GOG forum: Neverwinter Nights, enable console
- Multiplayer servers Sorcerer's Place notes that players cannot use the DM commands on a server that does not allow them. Sorcerer's Place: Neverwinter Nights console commands
- Old Mac guide wording GameRevolution's Mac guide lists dm_giveXP and dm_givegold without an amount and gives the level command as GiveLevel, while Sorcerer's Place lists dm_giveXP, dm_givegold and dm_givelevel with an amount after them.

- dm_cowsfromhell GameRevolution says the summoned cows also go after your henchman and innocent bystanders, and that using the command can shift your alignment toward evil. GameRevolution: Neverwinter Nights Mac cheats
