Cheat mode on skirmish

Post by robby9985 »

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.

Thanks for the response.

D'oh!
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.

All the ones I can use :). Why?

Well, looks like release builds will stick with no cheats available.
Good to see you found debug builds though. ;)

I use right shift + backspace... I forget if it makes a difference or not.
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.

Freedom, justice and cheats for everyone!! :mad;

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. :P

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.

You can already use most cheats in multiplayer, if you have debug builds.
