Cheat mode? -dev?

[Leonix]

I remember times, when I downloaded this mod from website a install it manually.
I completed this game so many times and I remember how I somehow enabled cheat mode in launch parameters and I could spawn simple trucks for transporting soldiers. That was just awesome and I had so much fun with possibility spawning things. But sadly I forgot everything and because this mod is officially accessible on Steam, I want to play CoH again. So for enabling cheats, was it just parametr -dev?

Eastern Front already uses the dev parameter. If you are interested in using cheatmod, it won't work as it and it would require some work to make it compatible with Eastern Front.

Other than that, if you have it you can load it with the parameter "-cheat" (that was custom made for EF of course ;), so this might not work for other mods).

[Leonix]

No I didn't have in mind cheat mod as a mod, I meant your custom made cheat "mod" (mode), which was lot's better than original cheat mod. So it wasn't parametr -dev but -cheat... now... what was the key buttons... xD Thank you for respond... ^.^

Works very well - and thanks for leaving it in for us as an option.

Hello, guys, are you talking about a new cheat mod for EF? Would you please tell me how to use it?

[Sgt. Steiner]

Just download and install CheatMod from link below. It works with vCOH and works with EF, too. Very nice. For the Bulge and Blitzkrieg mods I need to use MrAntiFun's trainer to work.

Hi, I have better version of that cheatmod, but now comes the problem, for EF now if use these function Alt+ 1,2,3,4,5.... will have error, do you know anyone who creates it can fix that problem? Only just for EF.

@jim1336898, @Sgt. Steiner
EF has its own version of the cheatmod because it needs to be configured according to what the mod uses. "Vanilla" Cheatmod or versions used for other mods aren't going to work fine at all... perhaps will work with the vanilla stuff but for the new factions or new units added that won't be the case.

[Sgt. Steiner]

The original CheatMod worked with the vanilla game, and surprisingly continued to work with EF. Meaning hit Ctrl+Shift+F1-F4 for options. Not sure if all new units are included to add in or if everything works perfectly. But it does the job.

For CoH with Blitzkrieg and Battle of the Bulge mods, the best bet is MrAnitFun's trainer. Just Google him, the guy is amazing. Have fun!

@Sgt. Steiner
Ah, yes, the general functions of cheatmod works, but specific calls like calling a specific unit, or allowing the buildings to be built instantly or making the upgrades to finish instantly or using zero reload time on abilities for Soviet or Ostheer factions are not going to work.

In vCoh and EF in skirmish vs AI, I see you cannot play the Axis side? Only in a couple of the campaigns.

[Æ | Blackbishop]

I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to play as Wehrmacht or Panzer Elite in Skirmish vs AI or PvP. You can do it just like you would in CoH.

[Sgt. Steiner]

I didn't realize the bottom player slot (Axis) could be changed to human. Duh..

Appreciate the help.
