Warning: New idea!!!
« on: July 18, 2010, 05:35:56 pm »
Since this is the open-source game, why shouldn't we code the cheats as a mod for this game? The mod would be made with a bit of security or joke text, like at the end of the mission in the window would be text "Cheater" instead of "mission success"... ;D So what is the deal with cheats as a mod which would be a cheaters-only code ;D ? Of course, like the cheaters will begin to hate the text cheater, maybe they will play fair (a bit optimistic, huh)?

Well, for now there are ways of cheating if you compile the game from source in "debug" mode (not the same as downloading an official release from Sourceforge) - Once a copy of the game is built this way you can open up the console when running it and use the testing debug commands to win a battle, give yourself items or money, etc.

The other way is to simply unzip the pk3 files and edit the script files to manipulate things, with some work the game balance can be altered quite a bit (or thrown far off balance) quite easily.

I did the second thing, but i am talking about an official mod only for cheaters, which would be posted as a joke ;D
