{Second step now you can use console}

Now you can use console here are a few commands

1.Change Popcap } Player_SetPopCapOverride(Game_GetLocalPlayer(), 1000)

2.Change Resources} Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Fuel, 9999)

3.Change Resources} Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Manpower, 9999)

4.Change Resources} Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Munition, 9999)

5.Toggle FOW On/Off} FOW_RevealAll

6.Toggle Taskbar Off} Taskbar_hide

In order for this to work you need to type it in exactly like i did use uppercase letter where there's uppercase letters also the } is not included in the first part of the console is the first uppercase letter for EX Player.

These don't work, now. I get the "nil value" message for all of them. Also needed to use "dev-" instead of "-dev."

[Aspius]

All options below end up with a game mode without live players...

[LEMAN_RUSS]

Alright i found out why the cheats was not working seems like -dev is not working BUT dev- is
Why did it change? i have no clue but it looks like it change over to dev- so type in dev- in the launch thing and all the commands above me should work as normal no need to go into the files to make a short cut

[Linrox]

Cheats didn't work for me. I just get 1: attempt to call global 'Game_GetLocalPlayer' (a nil value)

Gives the same in main menu and ingame

Kudos to TheUnknownDude!

Your hack worked. For other players still having a hard time, try this.

step 6. C: Program Files - Steam - steamapps - common - Company of Heroes

Once there, right click on RelicCOH (application) go to properties, select create shortcut, right click on that shortcut and go to the shortcut tab.

Where it says target, you will see: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe"

This is where you add the (space) -dev to the end.

To start the game, launch COH from that shortcut and go to the cheat menu.

Now you can enter the cheat codes and they should work.

Have fun guys.

I want to add this down here.

2022/11/10, How to enable Console command (Mainly the Cheat commands)

1. Go to Library, Find Company of Heroes
2. Right click on it, Go to Properties
3.Go to Local Files, Click Browse
4. Find RelicCOH.exe
5. Right click on it, Make a "RelicCOH.exe shortcut"

6. Find this line of words
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam...RelicCOH.exe"
Add -dev behind it with a Space between like this.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam...RelicCOH.exe" -dev

7. Launch the game from the Shortcut
8. Use the Console commands as above shows.


I found out that Steam's Launch Option NO LONGER WORKS With "-dev" to enable Cheat console commands.
So if anyone sees this, Enjoy.

If the Original Guide Post sees this, Idk if you want to remove that Steam launch option as it doesn't work for me at all.

P.S
If you're an EAW Enjoyer and want to use Console commands.
Add -applaunch 228200 -mod europe_at_war -dev
and yes, Launch the Mod via the same shortcut of "RelicCOH.exe shortcut"

OK I am very frustrated, I cannot find the answer to this anywhere. I need some help PLEASE. I can access the console but, when the commands are entered I get the "attempt to call global 'Game Get LocalPlayer' (a nil value)". Yes I have tried several times with just about all the resource commands. I even tried the "FOW_RevealAll" but got something like "EOF" which Im assuming is end of file. I would very much appreciate someone to tell me what the "F**k I'm doing wrong. I've even copied and pasted the commands as others have typed.

Help please.
