Help with Cheats/Console

[bdmonolith]

I switched the ENABLE CHEATS line in InternalSettings from 0 to 1, but the cheats don't work?
My only goal is to edit my starting ability points and starting cash, so if anyone can give me tips on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!!

P.S.: Im using Build Mod 14.
Thanks alot!

Umm, you can already do that. On the very first screen, click on "options" and then explore the possibilities.

You can only edit up to 5000 gold and 2000 wealth though.

Check the bottom of "Documentation\Default Key Assignments.txt" for information on the cheatmode.
Note that Numlock must be enabled.

Hi, how do you exactly "enable" it... when I open my 'InternalSettings.h'
#define ENABLE_CHEATMODE 0 // Cheats can be triggered with numpad buttons

Do I change the number "0" to a "1" or what do I do?

That is what you do.

Also to find what the cheat mode does- > Check the bottom of "Documentation\Default Key Assignments.txt" for information on the cheatmode.
Note that Numlock must be enabled.

Hmmm, well I did that and I open the engine, load my game (New Horizons) and I click the "Numlock" key and I press the different numbers (besides 9) and doesn't work... I finished the game once without the cheats but it took forever, I desperately need this \!!

In the program folder find InternalSettings.h file

At the bottom of this file is line:

#define ENABLE_CHEATMODE				0		// Cheats can be triggered with numpad buttons

change this to

#define ENABLE_CHEATMODE				1		// Cheats can be triggered with numpad buttons

Save the file.

Start game

When you play the game press a numberpad key and you should see a log message on the left of the screen telling you what cheat has been actioned.

Sorry to sound obvious but when you pressed Numlock before -- did this cause the numberpad to be switched off instead of on ( ie was it already on )

Thanks you, my friend I got it... It must've been because I "edited" too many times or something. Much appreciated!

Are you opening the file in notepad - or another text editor. :?

Do you have more than one version of the file open at the same time.?

When you try and save the file are you using Save or Save As ? ( you should use Save )

Is the game loaded when you try and Save the File ( you should be completely out of the game )

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Do you have the game in Program Files? That could cause such stupid security issues.

Yep sounds like a stupid program files thing again
