Articulate Vlish Sicadastra Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I thought I'd attempt to be helpful and post these here since some folks may not think to look for them in the A4 forums. (Original post by Synergy.) Hold Shift and press D to get the prompt, then type in the following: ouchouchouch – Heals and cures your group. imdrained - Recharge your spell energy. leetbuffz – Gives each of your characters multiple blessings. owmybrains – Cures any character that is frozen or suffering from a mental effect. backtostart – Returns you to Blackchasm Outpost. Very useful if you get stuck. pleaselikeme - Makes all of the areas in the game forget your crimes. If you were hated there, you won’t be anymore. Note that certain crimes (stealing artifacts, killing major characters) won’t be forgotten. iwanttobestronger - Gives you some experience. giveasnack - Gives your main character some cake. showmeall - Make all characters (even ones you can’t see) appear on your automap. dontshowmeall - Stop making all characters appear on your automap. editor - The new one of course. Edit stats without those pesky skill points. On a related note, has anyone considered editing a script to create a cheat like the one Hawk King did for A4? To give items, weapons, potions, etc? I'd attempt it, but there's the whole "I'm to lazy to figure out how" thing to overcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Lucheiah Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Do you have to have a registered version to use the cheats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Sicadastra Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'm afraid I do not know. I didn't use them till play #2 wherein I slaughtered everyone I could as I went... cheats help then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You just have to know how to use them (press Shift-D and enter the cheat). Corrections to list-- iamweak--gives you some more experience. iampoor--gives you 500 gold (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan wxxqut Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Why do you need cheats anyway?They are for loosers! On other hand you might use them if you are stuck somwhere(caused by a bug and not by your incompetence)and get past that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The cheats are there for players who want them. If they make it more fun for you, go right ahead. However, don't complain how combat was unchallenging if you do use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Bryce Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 For people using cheats (except, as mentioned, to escape pathological game behaviors), I suggest a much better game, which I release into the public domain for their benefit: #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("You win.\n"); return 0; } If better graphics are desired, many such games of similar challenge level can be obtained at your local video rental shop. Avoid foreign films, however, as these may be too challenging for you and you might thus loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk Lucheiah Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I quite enjoy the combat system, it's not too bad. Like, there is room for improvement but it's not horrible! I mostly use the "showmeall" cheat because there's no cheat to show the whole map so seeing where the enemies are is better than nothing.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 All Jeff's games include numerous anticheat features: not features to prevent cheating, but options which are the opposite of cheating, which jaded players can use to make the game harder. You simply have to find ways to make the game difficult for yourself. Try the Ghandi Challenge: a naked singleton who never carries or equips any items, doesn't cast spells, and never attacks anything. Your options are only to move, talk, and open doors. Or for the really tough, the Stylites Challenge. You have to find the first available hill, climb it, and stay there, until a cosmic ray triggers a software glitch that somehow makes you win the game. Of course it only really counts if you do it on Torment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulate Vlish Euphoria Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Experimenting I just made a very easy money hack that just about anyone can do. This apparently is only needed if you are too lazy to type in the shift+D cheat of course. So...first thing you do is locate the z25Tharstondlg.txt file in the scripts folder. Open it with wordpad, and from the edit menu do a find search on gypsy. Goto the 3rd talk node...that is begintalknode 242. This is the one where in game you give her 5 coins. The script has code = change_coins (-5) Just change the -5 to 30000 and every time you give the gypsy $$ you get 30k gold. Takes about 30 seconds to do, and seems to work flawlessly.

(Original post by Synergy.) Hold Shift and press D to get the prompt, then type in the following: Universal coin cheat for Avernum & Geneforge. Instructions for A5 here: Fast easy way. [backup 1st] Open a5itemschars.txt in scripts folder Copy and paste: begindefineitem 284; import = 250; it_name = "Cake"; it_graphic_template = 51; it_graphic_sheet = 1; it_which_icon_ground = 7; it_which_icon_inven = 7; it_value = 30000; begindefineitem 285; it_name = "Kabob"; it_which_icon_ground = 10; it_which_icon_inven = 10; it_value = 1; Over the original: begindefineitem 284; import = 250; it_name = "Cake"; it_graphic_template = 51; it_graphic_sheet = 1; it_which_icon_ground = 7; it_which_icon_inven = 7; begindefineitem 285; it_name = "Kabob"; it_which_icon_ground = 10; it_which_icon_inven = 10; Save. Play. Hit left shift/D for cheat console and type giveasnack then sell cake. . . . More detailed instructions: original a5itemschars.txt: begindefineitem 284; import = 250; it_name = "Cake"; it_graphic_template = 51; it_graphic_sheet = 1; it_which_icon_ground = 7; it_which_icon_inven = 7; begindefineitem 285; it_name = "Kabob"; it_which_icon_ground = 10; it_which_icon_inven = 10; coin cheat: begindefineitem 284; import = 250; it_name = "Cake"; it_graphic_template = 51; it_graphic_sheet = 1; it_which_icon_ground = 7; it_which_icon_inven = 7; it_value = 30000; begindefineitem 285; it_name = "Kabob"; it_which_icon_ground = 10; it_which_icon_inven = 10; it_value = 1; Make backup of a5itemschars.txt file. Add last line to item 284. 'it_value = 30000;' and 285 'it_value = 1;' Now any where you are at in a game that allows the cheat console, 'shift-D' type giveasnack and hit enter. Your lead charactor will get a piece of cake that can be sold for 7500 gold. Do this 4 times and you can receive up to 30000 coins any where in the game where you can sell! Don't bother selling 4 at once. You'll still only get 7500 coins. Use cheat 4 times, then sell cake 1 piece at a time. This works for A4, GF4, and A5 demo. I'm assuming other Spidweb games. Another way to restore to original and back is the following: begindefineitem 284; import = 250; it_name = "Cake"; it_graphic_template = 51; it_graphic_sheet = 1; it_which_icon_ground = 7; it_which_icon_inven = 7; it_value = 30000; // add or remove line it_value = 30000; then save for coin cheat. begindefineitem 285; it_name = "Kabob"; it_which_icon_ground = 10; it_which_icon_inven = 10; it_value = 1; // can leave it_value = 1; as it won't hurt anything. This will let you make a remark or note to self '//' and not execute line. Save after any change. You can keep the it_value = 1; in 285 as that's the original value. If you don't add it to 285 kabob will be worth 30000 with 7500 sale value. microphage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish br553 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I recently downloaded the shareware version. I tried some of the shift+D cheats but none of them worked. I do know the "editor" cheat said it was only available in the registered version. The others, I do not know, I may have been doing something wrong.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 The other cheats should work in the unregistered version, so the only thing Dikiyoba can suggest is to make sure that you typed them in exactly, with nothing capitalized or misspelled.

Articulate Vlish br553 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I got the heal, energize, gold, and "clear mind" cheats to work. Still could not get the imweak cheat to work, but that's ok for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 That is because it is iamweak, not imweak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish br553 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thanks for the advice, I got the iwanttobestronger cheat to work, I was, of course, mistyping it. I have pretty much finished the demo, so now I just have to get registered in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Washington Irving Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I'm now using the money cheats, because I really do hate the bother of collecting junk from dungeons, selling it to merchants, and buying spells part of the game. It distracts from the story. I might start using the "Imdrained" as well, since it saves a trip back to town, which is just done on autopilot and makes certain parts of the game needlessly long. (I'm playing hard by the way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila warpig Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Is there a command to spawn an item using the editor, if the item number is known ? Or do I need to find a script folder and key in the item somewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
