In-game cheats / CG unlocking guide

A simple guide for those who need some in-game cheats.

Cheat Menu

Unlike previous version, cheats can be used anywhere (when you can move freely, or in escape mode You can use it during dialogues since v1.0.3, but I won't recommend doing so, it may trigger weird bugs!) in Didnapper 2.
To access cheat menu, simply press Tab and Next Page button on the same time. If you haven't tweaked keybindings, it should be Tab and Page Down / W key combination.
For controllers, you should bind Tab to a specified key manually since there's no default binding.


Once you're in the cheat menu, you may use Previous Page or Next Page buttons to switch the character, and tweak stuffs in the left panel.

You'd better make a backup save before messing with cheat menu!

Cheat Menu functions in v1.0.5:

• Set level
  
• Set bonus stats (The player stats, HP, CP, ATK, DEF, etc.)
  
• Set gold
  
• Set consumables
  This is slightly different from "Gain", it sets item count in your inventory, so you may use it to remove items. You can set all items since v1.0.3, which comes handy.
  
• Set catalysts
  
• Set cards
  The skill cards are only acquirable BEFORE you have ANY character learned the skill OR acquired the card through normal gameplay (thanks BBP for pointing this out)!
  For example, The Lovers card enables you to learn Charm.
  - Before any of the character learns Charm, you can set the card number to whatever you like
  - However, AFTER any character learns it, DON'T set the card number again, you will always set the card number to zero! Set works this way: Remove all of that and gain a new amount, but you WON'T be able to gain those cards after learnt the skill!
  
• Gain weapons
  
• Gain equipments
  
• Set name - Better not to mess with this one
  
• Captive cheat - Ties up characters, just like "DAMSEL" in previous versions, eye-candy only, won't affect movement, interaction, battle, etc.
  
• Set escape level

Escape Cheats

When you're in escape mode, cheat menu may not help much. In that case, press Shift and Page Up button to access our trustyworthy old-style cheat menu.
Keep in mind that those keys are hard coded, which means they're not related to your custom keybindings and won't be accessible from controllers.

The cheats are case-insensitive, and you may type them directly via the keyboard.

Available cheats in v1.0.5:

• "WIN": Untie your wrists - which wins the escape instantly
  
• "TORSO": Untie your torso
  
• "LEGS": Untie your legs
  
• "HOGTIE": Untie the hogties
  
• "SUSPENSION": Untie the suspention - and crash to the floor
  
• "GAG": Remove your gag
  
• "BLINDFOLD": Remove your blindfold
  
• "LVL": Set the escape level
  
• "OH NO": Gives you the maximum bondage. (Still buggy in v1.0.3 v1.0.4 v1.0.5 lul, anyone plz report this to the dev?)
  The character looks buggy when you're not initially suspension tied, you'd better use this in CRC Challenge 4 or when you're suspension tied.

Interesting skills

There're some interesting skills currently unable to acquire using in-game cheats.
Seems like they're only enabled for testing mode (Which basically requires to start the game from RPGMaker).
You may edit the game code and learn them, anyway. I don't think it's a good idea to mess with those.

• Just win
  
• Just lose
  
• Instant capture

Unlocking ALL CGs (Cheating)

Let's consider the following scenario: There're some missing battle lose CGs after you beat the game, and you're unwilling to go back to unlock them, or didn't know how to do that.
-
I hope someone make a guide about unlocking all cgs during normal gameplay...Anyway, if you're 100% sure that you wanna unlock them via cheating, do the following:

• Start the game - This ensures cloud save works correctly!!
  
• Right click the game in your steam library->Manage->Browse local files
  
• Locate www/save/gallery.json, make a backup
  
• Open the json file with your favorite editor - VSCode or Notepad++ or Sublime Text or whatever, DON'T USE NOTEPAD.EXE OR MICROSOFT WORD
  
• Replace all false with true, save the file, then close the editor
  
• Switch back to the game, press F5 to reload it
  
• Check GALLERY, everything should be unlocked now
  
• Close the game, let steam sync stuffs correctly
  
• Enjoy

大佬，为什么我的v1.0.5调不出来cheat menu了

[旺旺狗]

试出来了，我这里要按shift+q 才能使用escape cheat

[旺旺狗]

谢谢回复！
应该没用过键盘辅助软件，游戏版本最新版，已全通，中间重启游戏、steam、电脑都已经很多次了，就是不知道什么问题。可能也许要换台电脑看看？

reply to 旺旺狗: 至少在 v1.0.2-v1.0.5 测试过是可用的，尝试关闭各类键盘鼠标辅助软件

[旺旺狗]

感谢大佬的分享！
求教一个问题，escape cheats 不能正常使用是什么问题
具体描述：进入escape mode后按shift+pageup，不会出现cheat菜单，仅仅移动了光标。

Well, thank you. I tried again like you said and I also found that not only learning the skill would affect that, acquiring the card in game also messed it up. I've already got the card "the lover" but haven't used it yet. Then if I try to set the number of "the lover", it will disappear from my inventory.

Hi BBP, I've digged in a bit and found the possible explaination, please see the desc. in Cheat Menu->Set cards

[bMk4-bQJf6FJuK4]

IDK, never used that. It works on my very-early stage saves, but not the end-game save. IDK why, since I'm not the dev.
