Cheat mode on skirmish
Hello, I've tried searching in this forum for this problem and maybe find a solution, but I couldn't find it.
Can someone please tell me how to be able to use cheats when I play skirmish? Thanks in advance.

The same way you enable it in SP game.
The wiki should have more information if your still stuck.

No, it says that cheats can't be used in skirmish, and the only way of doing it if using a debug binary. I don't know what that is or how to use it.Buginator wrote:The same way you enable it in SP game.

I keep forgetting that.
Which cheats do you want to use?
The debug build has more debug code in it, and it helps us track things down easier. It also crashes (asserts) more, since we are trying to prevent those from happening on release builds.

Well, looks like release builds will stick with no cheats available.robby9985 wrote:All the ones I can useBuginator wrote: D'oh!

Good to see you found debug builds though.

And as was mentioned above, you need 'debug' builds of the game to enable all the cheats.
Release builds only have partial cheat support.

Maybe we should change this... I see no important reason why cheats should not be available in non-debug builds.Buginator wrote: And as was mentioned above, you need 'debug' builds of the game to enable all the cheats.

Re: Cheat mode on skirmish
The only real time we really need to disable cheats are in MP games... and before someone says make it a option for MP games to turn it on/off, all I have to say to that is.Per wrote:Maybe we should change this...

Re: Cheat mode on skirmish
At least allow it in debug builds. Some of us actually want to test the multiplayer functionality of something but don't have the time to research it manually. The research tree is huge, after all.Buginator wrote:The only real time we really need to disable cheats are in MP games... and before someone says make it a option for MP games to turn it on/off, all I have to say to that is.![]()

Re: Cheat mode on skirmish
You can already use most cheats in multiplayer, if you have debug builds.
