Having a Mech-sized headache trying to win later missions in MECHCOMMANDER? These cheats can improve your score in a hurry, but be careful. None of the codes have been thoroughly tested by FASA or MicroProse (they won't handle tech support calls on cheats), and we'll tell you from experience, some of them--particularly osmium and Ctrl-Alt-W--will crash your system if you rely on them too much. So, as always, make sure to back up your save-game files before trying these out, and don't say we didn't warn you!
It takes a little effort to activate the cheats:
Update to MECHCOMMANDER version 1.8.
Find the windows.fit file in the directory where you installed Mechcommander (the default directory is C:\Program Files\FasaInteractive\MechCmdr)
Rename windows.fit as ixtlriimceourl, which is the secret file needed to enable the cheats.
Type in the codes during the proper phase as shown below.
The following cheats must be typed in during the Logistics Phase:
Code: poundofflesh, Effect: Adds 1,000,000 resource points Code: rockandrollpeople, Effect: Removes drop weight limit on current mission
The following cheats must be typed in during each mission:
Code: Ctrl-Alt-W, Effect: Jumps to mission successful screen Code: osmium, Effect: Makes your Mechs and vehicles invincible. Code: lorrie, Effect: Repairs damaged armor/weapons Code: lordbunny, Effect: Gives you unlimited, instantaneous artillery strikes (Press b and left-click to nuke the target) Code: mineeyeshaveseentheglory, Effect: Reveals the entire map Code: deadeye, Effect: Max out gunnery skills on all MechWarriors
To use them you have to first create a file in the main directory (where you installed) called: buymechcommander.2
IF YOU DON'T CREATE THIS FILE, THE CHEATS WON'T WORK!!!
