RTCW cheats, how to enable?

[Doomer]

OK, I've followed all the directions I could find on the net and I still can't get cheats enabled.

Anybody know the secret ?

Thanks

[Mike]

I did some research for you since I don't cheat (very often. )

Thanks Mike but this don't work.

Anybody else ?

+set sv_cheats 1' doesn't work? Might be a console problem, have you tried uninstalling and reinstallin?

[Daft_Ghosty]

it is +set sv_cheats 1 it should look like below

"drive:\path\folder\WolfSP.exe" +set sv_cheats 1
you right click ont eh shortcut to RTCW on your desktop.. then you place the comand listed above.. how it is shown..

go to

for more help.. and a list of cheats for the game

[Doomer]

Nope, I've followed every instruction to the letter on 2 different machines and it flat don't work. There are other variations of this out there and they don't work either. If anybody can actually get it to work I'd appreciate the details

well here to tell u.. I didnt' try it.. I did it.. I know for a fact that works..

Here is how mine looks..

"D:\Program Files\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\WolfSP.exe" +set sv_cheats 1

it has to look exatly like that.. it will be placed in the Target section of the properties.. I will provide an image below..

It must look exactly like that.. it must be outside the quote marks.. with one space bwtween ithe +set code, and the quote mark.


also a note.. when entering the cheats.. the forward slash / must be place in front of the code for it to work.. or the code will not work... this is the first game I have found this to be true in.. so maybe there in lies your porblem

example:

/God

edit another note.. reading the instalation of the cheat.. for ppl using Windows XP you will need to place two spaces after the quote mark.. before placing your +set command

[Doomer]

Mine is set up EXACTLY as yours and it still don't work.

Could it be a version problem ? Mine is wolf 1.0.0 win-x86 Nov 13 2001. What's yours ?

Thanks

[Daft_Ghosty]

very strange indeed.. mine is of the same version.. let me ask this.. where is the codes failing at?

are you getting the Console window when you hit the ~ key? If so.. what are you getting when u enter the cheats?

[Doomer]

Yep, I'm getting the console window.

When I type /god it returns "Cheats not enabled on this server".

This is frustrating. I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and I'm still stumped.

Thanks

[Daft_Ghosty]

that is strange.. you are playing the single player version correct?

try bringing down the console in the game and type the /sv_cheats 1 and hit enter.. see if that works.. that is how u use to have to do it in games like halflife

[KenKun]

Hi Doomer ..
It might be that you are trying to cheat on Hard or very Hard levels .. .
In my case it didn`t work just with in the easy level ... i think they will not allow you to cheat in upper levels so they don`t spoil the game challenege ...
Just a thought though ..
Regards

[Doomer]

I'm trying on the first level "Don't hurt me"

I just tried /sv_cheats 1 and it returned "sv_cheats is read only". Is this a clue ?????

[Daft_Ghosty]

KenKun in with a save.. =)

I played the game through on medium with the cheats.. so I know they work at that level.. I just tried it on the hardest level, and tried the cheats.. and recied the same error u did Doomer.. are you playing on the hardest level? if so lower your level.. adn try the cheats then.. hope u r not to far into the game

[Daft_Ghosty]

sounds like a porblem with the install of the game.. strange indeed.. maybe try patching the game.. I think there is a patch out for it now..

[Doomer]

I'm trying at the EASIEST level.

Strange, if it's a problem with the install, that it would occur on 2 different boxes.

I'll check for update and report back.

[Doomer]

OK, I DL'ed and installed the 1.1 patch (which appears to be only for the multi player version) and still no joy.

[KenKun]

There should be something wrong .. as the new patch was made mainly for the multiplayer section of the game ...
I will check around and post if i find anything that helps ..
Regards

[Doomer]

Thanks Ken.

Any help much appreciated.

[Daft_Ghosty]

Ok this is strange.. I tried the cheats on the Easy leve and got the same porblem u listed.. so I knwo they work on the middle level.. try the game on that.. and see what u turn up =)
