Characters unlock

Guide for those who need all characters now.

Unlocking

After running the game for the first time you can play only with two characters.
Others can be unlocked as you progress through the story.
Switching to new ones (as in Magicka) is possible only if you start OVER again the whole campaign with a new character, or use a complex trick with creating/joining multiplayer session.
IMHO, controversial decision of the developers. As for me, such games is a way to have a good time with friends or family, and replaying the same levels is not fun at all. In case of 4 people cooperative - you have a choice only of 2 characters, which is also not very cool.

1. You need savegame files tro generate so run the game and start a new game. Then quit.
   
2. For Windows users. Go to:
   C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\NineParchments
   
3. Open options.txt file with a Notepad or any text editor. NOTE! If your NineParchments folder is empty for some unknown reason then download my options.txt file (no need to edit it):
   https://www.dropbox.com/s/71j5h6jp9c7iv7a/options.txt?dl=0
   
4. Find (search ctrl+f) a string:
   setOption(gameBaseApplicationModule, "CheatsEnabled", false)
   
5. Replace "false" word with "true":
   setOption(gameBaseApplicationModule, "CheatsEnabled", true)
   and save the file.
   
6. Start the game, press F8 in the main menu, the console will open. Enter the cheat code:
   cheat.unlockCharacters()
   
7. If it worked, message "nil" will pop up in the console, and characters will be unlocked.

Additional information:

• If the console doesn't open and the file options.txt resets to its original state each time you run the game, try this: after saving, right-click on options.txt -> Properties -> set Read-Only checkbox -> OK.
  
• If you want to open all staffs aswell, you can use: cheat.unlockItems().

I hope everything worked out for you. If not, ask in the comments.
Good luck.

Hello! I haven't updated the guide for a while and people warned that the method I described above no longer works for them.
So as a temporary solution if this guide no longer works - try to use this dude's saves: https://steamcommunity.com/app/471550/discussions/0/1768133742952054405/

Hello! Can you please tell me how to unlock Rudolfus the Strange?

[Zyryanoff]

If so, probably your Nine Parchment tries to take options from another place.
Check <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\471550\remote\ folder for similar options.txt file.
Maybe you should edit the one there.

Is the line in text file options.txt remains with "true" after you've run the game? Check it please.

[Zyryanoff]

Hey there. Check options.txt after you've tried please.
Is the line where you've changed "false" to "true" reverted back?

If the console doesn't open and the file options.txt resets to its original state each time you run the game, try this: after saving the file, right-click on options.txt -> Properties -> set Read-Only checkbox -> OK.
