cheating!

[Robert Nutter]

Im sure this has been brought up numerous times, but..

Im not a cheat bu i want to test some features in potc that i need money and a big ship for, ie the fort capturing and i cant be bovered to work my way up to level 100 and 10000000 gold etc. in the the init.pc file in the controls folder, build 13 stated the keys but build 14 doesn't. Where do i insert the key/command or is there some kind of overall 'switch'? Ive trued everything but of course thats probably useless cos i dont know how tio activate it in-game. How do i cheat!?

buildinfo\Default Key Assignments.txt contains all key assignments, including the cheat ones.
Actual assignment code is in PROGRAM\CONTROLS\DefaultControls.h.

Installing a new patch does usually reset the cheatmode to off, unless I made a mistake.
After all, we don't want general players cheating by accident, do we? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I know its somewhat unrelated but i dont wann clutter up the boards with new threads.

Ive got a bug; its probs just me again so i didnt wanna post it in the tracker, but the RPG shipyard doesn't work; it stays on either 6 or 5 regardless of level. Ive only found out now because i used the num-4 level cheat and once i got to level 40 i decided something was wrong when it still said '5' in my portrait. Ive only reported it late because i thought maybe it was to make the game harder but once i got to level 12 in normal gameplay whereas in build 13 that would let me sail class 3 vessels, it was still on 5 or 6, depending on what ship i had (class 6 or 5) Ive disabled it now so i can command fleets and larger ships but of course its still a shame. Is it just me or should I report it properly?
