Cheat Console

[GA01]

Does the cheat console function still work in this game? I have not even really began the game but I always like to have lots of money during my RPGs (I like to buy things). I followed the instructions I found here on the forum to create the global3.lsg folder, place it in the user/documents/might & magic folder and then press ctrl+alt+c buttons to bring up the console; but nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong or does it no longer work?

It works decently. I don't know what you read here, but what I did was just create a duplicate file of the global.lsg file in the documents, then changed the name to global3.lsg. The global3.lsg file went in documents/mightandmagicxlegacy folder and the global.lsg file that I copied is found in the Uplay username folder in the same place.

edit: I don't know if it matters, but they were both zero bytes when I did this. You may have to open the global3.lsg file with notepad and delete anything there to play it safe.

It still is not working for me. Every time I press ctrl+alt+c (left side of keyboard) the game just brings up the party inventory screen. It could be because I have a special steel series gaming keyboard which has a a-typical key layout. Oh well, I quess my party will just have to be poor for a while.

Thank you for the response.

You might try changing the open_cheat_menu key found in the options64 file in that document folder. The default is "LeftControl+LeftAlt+C" (with quotations).

I'm trying to mod my own game a bit. I hate the idea of only reaching a fraction of 50th level, for instance, so I'm trying to adjust the experience tables to have reaching max level be possible in a thorough playthrough. I'll let you know if I find where to edit the starting gold, but you'd have to start a new game for this to work.

use the savegame converter; it works very well.

if you are trying to edit skillsets for your characters, here's a useful reference:

gold is easily edited in the first set of parameters for your savegame, once converted to xml format.

then just convert back and you're good to go.

I use notepad+ as an editor for xml; works great.

...as for starting gold, that's like located in one of the CSV files, which also are easily edited in any xml editor.

you can also modify almost anything else in the game; including all the relics, spells, abilities, skill disributions and levels for each character, etc.

if you are modding skills in a savegame, don't forget you need to also do that in the appropriate CSV character file.

example, if you want to have your bladedancer have master archery, you need to BOTH edit the csv character file, and add the archer skill for bladedancer to the group that includes "master" skills, AND edit the absoltute skill value and level in the savegame file.

Thank you very much. I'm going to try it tommorow. I never could get the built-in console to work so this should surely help.

works for me. made the game much more enjoyable.

let me know if you need some help figuring out which files are which and where, etc.

When I glanced at the pictures at the forum post (supplied with your provided link) it looked simple enough. Then when I downloaded the file and there were no instructions/read me text, I was like "what the heck do I do with this?". However, later in the forum post there is a link to a You Tube video explaining these type of programs so it should not be a problem. With spring in full swing now I have so much outdoor work to do I have no irea when I'll have a chance to learn how to use it.
