Topic Subject: How do I get cheats to work?
posted 21 December 2005 18:37 EDT (US)   
I cannot get cheats to work.

It says to type in ~ to access the 'console' and then type add_money20000 to add 20000 to your faction.

If I do this on the map screen, nothing happens.

To type in this symbol~ I have to hold SHIFT and hit the# key. To type underslash_ I have to hold shift and the- key.

So when I try to type in the money cheat on the main map screen, I hit SHIFT# a d d SHIFT- m o n e y 2 0 0 0 0 ENTER

to type in this: ~add_money20000

Am I doing something wrong here?

I have downloaded patches 1.3 and 1.5 too.

OK, all you cheaters out there, see if you can help. I think I tried cheats one day just to see what they do, and half of them didn't work. Anyway, I don't use them, and I'm not sure many of us do, but maybe we'll be surprised.

Good times, noodle salad. What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you're that pissed that so many others had it good." Jack Nicholson

It's add_money 20000, so yes, you're doing something wrong.

As for the console upbringing problem I have no answer as you americans have strange keyboards.

In my Mexican keyboard the console opens pressing the key left of number one. In my keyboard this key is |

Technical Index, including Heavengames and Activision cheating information:

How do I cheat? [mode, console, tilde]: 1 (HG) 2(Activision) 3 (Thread)

There is more to it than what is in these posts, but this common question thread is now double indexed (disc & tech) as the place for people to post info, particularly with Patch 1.5/1.6. Try it and post your results.

Now that is funny... usually, it is MS that deliberately sabotages its competition and causes competing products not to work (read about cases like Digital Research vs. MS, etc.)... but this time, MS is shot in the foot!

Yes, the link is fine... No, M$ cannot handle it. Opera (I use Opera 8.51+Languages) and Firefox 1.50 work fine. I do not use MSIE unless I have to because of the propensity it has for allowing hackers and viruses to use it as a great big door to enter my machine. But that's another thead sometime.

Anyway, it works... but if you have MSIE6, no joy. You can still go to the activision site manually and search... that was the direct link.

OT: You are in a Nordic country and don't use Opera or Firefox?

Well, I have used IE long before I even knew firefox and Opera existed. I am going to switch though.
