Cheats to FC1

[Elbmek]

I have played this from day 1, but not for quite a while now. Anyway, I reloaded it via Steam and cant get cheats to work (I play for fun ok?). I now suffer from a very bad memory and concentration lapses thanks to an illness. Anyway, I put -DEVMOVE in the launch options; and amended devmove.lua, but it does not work. I have a feeling I may be missing something else??? Game is loaded from scratch and no patches.

-devmode not devmove. I hope you backed up devmode.lua before you changed it.

typo skid.

Got a new rig and FC worked fine in the old rig, but I have forgotten how I set it up (very bad mem in my head). Devmode is in the properties section but something not working my end. I play for fun, so cheating is an option.

Sometimes you need cheats in this game especially noclip (F3, F4) if you get stuck.
Is devmode.lua in the FC root? Does devmode have the cheat codes in it?
Try this - run FC from a shortcut (make sure STEAM is on). Open shortcut properties. The target box is active with a blue field. Press left then right arrow keys then add -devmode and APPLY.
If that doesn't do it something else is up and more info will be required.

devmode is in properties on steam - launch instructions

Of course but method 2 doesn't hurt. In many FC player mods I launch a bat or cmd file which includes -devmode in the text but some don't work unless I also use -devmode in the shortcut properties target box.
Have you tried verify file cache to make sure devmode.lua is correct?

ok got wpns and ammo sorted but no god mode. I think thats down to the steam icon being only a link to the online version?? I added -DEVMODE to the desktop icon and wpns and ammo became active. File validation said 1 file would be reaquired.

I suspected that devmode.lua may have been rewritten by validation, so wnt back in and added god mode, what was indeed missing, it worked!!!

Cheers Superstar!!

Good work! Weird that missing god mode section. My 'original devmode.lua also has it missing but I've been using a different one for years.

I use a save game mod which enables F5 to save. Just load the mod at the start and save whenever you like. Works for load game F9 too and -devmode isn't required in the target as far as i can tell.
