XCOM Enemy Within Developer Console

[Imperator1125]

Greeting Steam users this is sj0525 and I was wondering, does eny one know how to activate Enemy Within's Developer Console

[Tyrrin]

I want to know this myself!

Modifying the executable with hex tool doesn't work with this exe, at least not the same keys as before. You can use the keybinding trick though, it doesn't open the dev console but you can attach commands to key binds. Look up the info here:

http://keops.fr.yuku.com/topic/250/XCOM-Enemy-Unknown-Developer-Console#.UoQp3vk_tyV

Method 2 with key bindings work, although I've only tested reducing panic, unsure about the rest.

[Tyrrin]

Thanks, ill give it a shot! I dont really want to play through the whole game again. I just want to give the new stuff a spin.

[Imperator1125]

tried it, didnt work, need a vid walkthrough (if there is one)

[Kajih]

hmm are you sure you modified the right file? and entered the keybinding you wanted in the correct spot. I tried a few more and they worked so I'm not sure what you are not doing correctly.

First off the file that needs to be modified is located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\XComGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini

Secondly depending on if you want a Base command or a Field command your bindings need to be inserted like so:
Base command : underneath the [Engine.PlayerInput] line
Field command : underneath the [XcomGame.XcomTacticalInput] line

Now for the actual binding it goes .Bindings=(Name="KEY",Command="CONSOLE COMMAND",SECONDARY KEY).

So for example if I wanted to reduce panic from every country (because it's really annoying), my command would be:

.Bindings=(Name="U",Command="lowerpanic",Alt=True)

so when I am in the Base screen, I just press the ALT and U key together and it reduces the panic. If it doesn't work for you then you need to check your settings as per the instructions above. I didn't test all the commands but the 2-3 I've randomly tested work so I assume everything else works.

[Imperator1125]

I have been trying the other way by putting all cheats I want into one file and directing it too file with no success, but will try this method......can you link multiple commands to one key

[Imperator1125]

Just tried the cheats didnt work, and this is what i put .Bindings=(Name="-", Command="LowerPanic", Alt=True) .Bindings=(Name="*", Command="GiveResource Money 100000", Alt=True) .Bindings=(Name="/", Command="GiveResource Meld 1000", Alt=True) in [Engine/PlayerInput] and .Bindings=(Name="\", Command="TakeNoDamage", Alt=True) in [XcomGame.XcomTacticalInput], did I do something wrong.

P.S. I copied and pasted these straight from my file

[DoktorNik]

DarthRaven, and anyone else who is interested, I was having a problem getting this working, then i realized how silly I was.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\XComGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini

Make note of the XEW before the XComGame, it works, completely well, i have gotten scientists, and all reasourses besids meld working.

Edit: Actually got meld working, i typo'ed and realized my mistake

.Bindings=(Name="T", Command="GiveResource Mel 10", Alt=True)

is what I use to get 10 meld.

[Imperator1125]

still not working, I swear I am putting it in the right place, could it be the keys I am using?

[DoktorNik]

Darth could You upload your ini file so I could take a look at it?

[Imperator1125]

sure just tinkered with it, have fun reading
P.S. got rid of the stuff not mattering

okay you have the code in the right Location, but you can't bind more than one thing to a key, and without either Alt (nothing is bound to alt's), shift, or ctrl, it won't know to pull up the dev console.

Also the key has to be upper case,

I recommend doing something like :

.Bindings=(Name="U", Command="GiveCash 20000",Alt=True)
.Bindings=(Name="Y", Command="GiveItem Meld 1000",Alt=True)
.Bindings=(Name="T", Command="GiveItem Elerium115 1000",Alt=True)
.Bindings=(Name="I", Command="GiveItem AlienAlloys 1000",Alt=True)
.Bindings=(Name="O", Command="GiveItem WeaponFragment 1000",Alt=True)

that should work, just hold Alt ,and then tap T-> O

Also for clarity's sake, and priority sake put them directly below

; Universal, don't mess with me

that way the game doesn't override it

Sorry for the late delay, had to go take an exam

[JiMMy]

i want to use this command
.Bindings=(Name="U",Command="lowerpanic",Alt=True)

where i should exactly put it? can sombody clear it please?
look from top i scroll down and i see "Engine.playerinput" i know i have to put in this section but dont know which line

[Kajih]

Look for [Engine.PlayerInput] and just put the bindings line right underneath that.

[NextGame]

anyone know what the commands for scientists and engineers would be?
