Ancient cheat codes

[aubergine]

I'm cataloguing all cheat codes since v1.10a of the game and I've found some that I can't decypher (apparently these are XOR'ed)...

Found in 1.10 source code:

Code: Select all

//   {"OPHZM",kf_TogglePower},
//   {"VQKZMY^\\Z",kf_ToggleOverlays},
//   {"XVIZ ^SS",kf_AllAvailable},
//   {"LWPH R^OOVQXL",kf_ShowMappings},
//   {"KZROS^KZL",kf_GiveTemplateSet},
//   {"LZSZ\\K ^SS",kf_SelectAllCombatUnits},
//   {"YMPR ^]PIZ",kf_ToggleGodMode},
//   {"SZK KWZMZ ]Z SVXWK",kf_RecalcLighting},
//   {"YVQVLW QPH",kf_FinishResearch},
//   {"PJKSVQZ,",kf_ToggleOutline},
//   {"L\\MZZQ[JRO",kf_ScreenDump},
//   {"M^QXZL",kf_ToggleSensorDisplay},
//   {"JQVK LK^KL",kf_DebugDroidInfo},


Found in 2.0 source code:

Code: Select all

//   {"VQKZMY^\\Z",kf_ToggleOverlays},
//   {"LZSZ\\K ^SS",kf_SelectAllCombatUnits},
//   {"PJKSVQZ,",kf_ToggleOutline},
//   {"L\\MZZQ[JRO",kf_ScreenDump},


Does anyone know what the plain text version of the quoted XOR'ed strings is, and which version of the game they were present in?

Also, does anyone know what version of the game these codes were in (and what exactly did they do)?

I don't remember the codes, but you can search for the function they call and figure out what they do from there... Check cheat code sites for some of them. If you look at the rest of the cheat codes you will notice some are doubles and do pretty much the same thing as those commented out.

Oh, the ones that start with // means that there was no code generated for those. Those are commented out.

Yup, but they must have been active at some point. Anyway, here's what I've got so far: cheat codes -- versions for most of the codes now complete, still a few unknowns though.

ERROR!!

I know the retail versions had a debug mode that did at least some of that stuff.

I can verify that it works. I've done it myself, and I was actually the one who submitted it to that site.

Just a note: I believe their example with the "-fullscreen" launch option is not correct. You're supposed to choose a renderer (OGL, etc.).
