On the Main Menu to unlock all scenarios for individual play, even if you haven't completed the mission in the campaign yet
I'll be darned if that did not work just now! I had not even started Blitzkrieg but it searched, found the DLC, and opened up every scenario in that campaign. Much better than e-mailing each other our unlocked.dat files. :wink:

See my post in Scenario etc., but you can alter the MS Excel Specialisms to alter available dates. I have tried to alter the MS Excel Units file, to assign B29 bombers to the Axis - but that is proving problematic.

Instead of cheating, there should be an option for players to have extended turn limits as an option when starting a campaign. Sounds like more turns is the main thing people are wanting.

At one time there was an option for this in the scenario editor.
But it was removed for some reason.

What people often do is to put in those brackets; the devs really should not have posted cheat codes this way, but how else do you indicate in a list that a number follows the cheat code?

Anyway, try it this way:

#warbonds 1000

#overtime 60

I think you will see that these work. No brackets, but leave a space between the code and the number.

You can use " - # to deduct resources, #warbonds -100

Usable if you want a limited amount of resources, but add too much the first time you run the code.

Hey guys, is there anyway to apply a cheat code singularly? For example, I'm playing a custom scen that has British and US units. Say I want to give the British 100 more RPs but not the US. Whenever I apply the code, both get the 100 points. Any help gratefully appreciated :D

Not really.
You could add 100 points, spend all of it on British stuff, then deduct 100 points again. Not perfect, of course.

In the editor you can assign x resources to a specific nation on a specific turn.

Thanks Erik. Thought I'd ask in case I just wasn't figuring it out. BTW, your reply got me interested in the editor so I spent a couple hours learning that :shock:

i think there should be a code that forces the ai to end turn in events when the ai is stuck thinking for a lengthy period of time.

But would you really like to continue playing knowing that the AI didn't finish moving/attacking etc ...?

In most cases no, but when the AI is stuck thinking for 30 minutes then yes.

vidzm7_slith,

How are you entering the codes? Show us the exact format and we can see if that may be the problem....

What do you put in to TURN ON fog of war after you turned it off? Using the same command doesn't work.

Not possible, as far as I know. I even tried saving a "lit up" scenario and calling it back up to see if that would turn the lights off again but that does not work. I'm afraid that, if there is a cheat code for this, it's still in the developer's own fog of war.
