Can't get cheat mode

Post by Corporate bastard »

I'm loving the game but have not been able to switch on cheat mode. I put the game on the D drive to save space and have tried to type in D:\Warzone 2100\warzone2100.exe"--cheat and variations on that theme to C: without any luck. What am I doing wrong?

"C:\Warzone 2100_205_rc1\warzone2100.exe"  --mod grim.wz --fullscreen --viewport 1280x1024


i dont know if the one you have included is the one your attempting to use but as you will notice ...

there needs to be spaces ie: --(whatever) --(again) --(etc)
                                      ^                ^          ^
                                      ||                ||          ||
hopefully this helps. ;D

No, I think skirmish counts as multiplayer for the game and you can thus not cheat.
But feel free to try it and tell if I was wrong.

some cheats do work in skirmish like "work harder" "give all" "easy" "hard" "biffer baker"

i havnt tried all cheats because i just cant remember them all when playing the game (yea im blonde lol)....

so then its maybe a good thing i spent all that time (over 4 years) gathering all info on warzone then eh? Documents project 4.8 can be found in a downloadable form - due to the site it was hosted on went down.  see: http://www.coppercore.net/~wztoys/modules/news/

the following is just one small section of the documents project. ;D

time toggle - Stops and starts the mission timer **

get off my land - Kills all enemy units on the map **

show me the power - Gives 1000 extra power

hallo mein schatz - Skip to next mission **

work harder - Completes all currently active research topics

double up - All of your units are twice as tough

timedemo - Shows frame rate and gfx engine data

kill selected - Kills the presently selected units

easy - Sets easy difficulty level

normal - Sets normal difficulty level

hard - Sets hard difficulty level

version - Tells you when the game code was compiled

whale fin - Unlimited power **

john kettley - Change clear, snow and rainy sky

biffer baker - Units almost indestructible

shakey - Screen shakes when units explode

how fast - Display game speed

sparkle green - Stronger units

I tried some codes (biffer baker, work harder) but I can't get energy code to work. "Whale fin" does nothing, same as "Show me the power". Case sensitive? Anything else?

Whale fin should just prevent your power from being used (instead the necessary power is draind from an infinite pool or something).

I remember I had a save game cheat that gave me everything at the start of the game. Although the research later on screwed up the build list, it was still fun to watch the horde of scavengers get owned by 2 assault gunners, and then later on bulldozing the first paradigm base with Nexus heavy chassis + heavy cannons and ripple rocket/earthshaker bombardment.



...Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere now .....

whale fin = only works in the campaign.  does not work in multiplayer/skirmish.
