DefaultCheats.ini? just curious

[fox23vang]

XcomGame>Config is an ini file called DefaultCheats.ini. Does anyone know how to use it?. Seems to be developer console commands. Im a bit of a cheatoholic those cheats look handy. Busy life dont have much time to actually hunker down and play a game legit.

We figured out that dev commands existed long ago, and we have had mods to add them in, but I don't remember the hex changes off the top of my head.

In XCOM EU we used console commands. Such commands can be bound to a key.

 

UnlimitedMoves command is cool for fast testing. Hm, 10 hours and few minutes to European release :)

So DefaultCheats.ini contains plenty of Command Sets - console commands grouped to named sets, managed by XComGame.upk.XComCheatManager.

 

Command Sets functionality is similar to exec Filename.txt command, but they cannot be changed on the fly like commands in text file.

DefaultCheats.ini syntax is obvious. I've added two sets at the end of the file.

Name=PrettyScreenshot
Command=UIToggleVisibility
Command=ToggleUnitFlags
Command=UIToggleTether
Command=UIToggleDisc
Command=ToggleFOW

Name=NeedSomeResources
Command=GiveCash 999
Command=GiveItem Elerium115 999
Command=GiveItem AlienAlloys 999
Command=GiveItem WeaponFragment 999
Command=GiveItem Meld 999

Next I've added bindings at the end of DefaultInput.ini, where Command="RunCommandSet NameFromDefaultCheats.ini".

[XComGame.XComTacticalInput]
.Bindings=(Name="F12", Command="RunCommandSet PrettyScreenshot")
[Engine.PlayerInput]
.Bindings=(Name="F12", Command="RunCommandSet NeedSomeResources")

The same functionality can be achieved by putting commands into text file placed in Binaries folder and binding it in DefaultInput.ini

// PrettyScreenshot.txt
Command=UIToggleVisibility
Command=ToggleUnitFlags
Command=UIToggleTether
Command=UIToggleDisc
Command=ToggleFOW

// DefaultInput.ini
.Bindings=(Name="F12", Command="exec PrettyScreenshot.txt")

Somebody can try calling Command Sets from the code, if it's possible.

Good stuff. :thumbsup: I've turned it into a wiki article 'DefaultCheats.ini - XCOM:EU 2012' so people can find after the thread scrolls.
