To become a cheater

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

Playing the newly-released beta 33 and I have a few character builds I'd like to try. To do this, however, I need to cheat my way into some higher levels and such. I followed the instructions on the wiki (create the 'cheat.cfg' file in the Settings folder, add 'cheat = true' to the file and save, hit [ctrl] + L in game), but I can't get the lua console to come up. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to edit the save file itself?

[darkgod]

Once cheat mode is on you need to bind lua console/debug mode to a key in the keybinder

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

Alright cool. How do I do that?

[darkgod]

? In the keybind interface, like any other keybninds, press escape and select it

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

I'm still not getting it. I've bound [C] + L to a hotkey (=), but every time I hit =, it brings up a message saying that the hotkey is not defined.

[darkgod]

Because by default hotkey 12 is bound to = too

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

So how can I make a brand new keybinding to make the console work?

[darkgod]

I dont understand, jsut bind it to some unused key there's no reason it wont work.
Are you sure cheat mode is active ? (try to ctrl+click somewhere, if you teleport there it works)

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

The Teleport doesn't work... so what am I doing wrong?

I created the cheat.cfg file in the C:\Users\[User]\T-Engine\4.0\Settings location.

[darkgod]

are you sure windows didnt have fun and actaully name your file cheat.cfg.txt ? it loves doing that

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

Pretty sure. I'm staring at the file now and it's called cheat.cfg. I'm using Windows 7. Is there a better way to tell?

Edit: Oh, nevermind. I saved it as a .txt file, so that's why it wasn't working. You're a genius...

Edit again: So I try to use the code to level myself up to Level 50 [game.player.forceLevelup(50)], and it returns an error that I don't understand.

Code: Select all

1 :=: /engine/interface/ActorLevel.lua:137: attempt to index local 'self' (a number value)

I've tried it with multiple values and still nothing. Thoughts?

[darkgod]

game.player:forceLevelup(50)

[edge2054]

Some other useful commands.

game.player:resetToFull()

game.player.max_life = 10000

game.player:learnTalent(game.player.T_TALENT_NAME, true) -- there's a third variable here for talent level if you want to use it, the second variable is force so it'll ignore requirements

the debug menu is also handy if you want to goof around with gear or tougher monsters but you'll have to bind it to a hotkey.

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

Okay, so I finally got the force level to work, and then I ran into another fantastic little error. I can assign my stat points all day long, but I can't assign any points to class or generic talents (category works okay, though). Every time I try to increase one, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Lua Error: /mod/dialogs/LevelupDialog.lua:691: attempt to call method 'learnTalent' (a number value)

[darkgod]

Well what did you do exactly ? looks like you assigned a value to learnTalent instead of calling it
You can probably fix it by doing:
game.player.learnTalent = nil
