Setany cheats question

[PoorOldSpike]

Apparently the list of setany cheats only apply to the human players current turn, for example in the random mission generator I can type 'setany weather' or 'setany ground state' to get a dramatic white winter snowscape map, but next turn i find the map has reverted back to grassy green, grrrr...
So is there any way to make the cheats automatically apply every turn for the whole battle?
(PS- my setany cheat list is about 4 years old, where can I find the current list to check if there are any new additions?)

i've never used any of the Setany cheats just the Hero cheats. did it stay winter when it went back to your turn? I'd like to see a new list also with a refresher on how to use them. thanks

I think it is related with how weather and ground states are handled by the game? They are checked and changed at the start of each turn, so just setting it once won't get you a permanent weather/ground state, you have to do that each turn to overwrite the new data.

Yeah guys, it reverts to green after our turn, it never sticks at Frozen.
The only way to make it stick is if we create a scenario in the Editor and set the weather in there, but that all takes time to do, grrr..

As frustrating as it might be, most of these 'cheats' are not game features. They're just hacks.
They change variables or functions out of context. Many will break the game and some can ruin your save game.
They're not something we specifically support or upkeep and many get deleted and changed over time.
They're there either because they're part of the game code, part of Unreal, or are used to aid testing.

We sometimes make you aware of them because they're useful for modders and people who don't want to play the game as designed. But using them is your responsibility and if they screw up the game .....

For example .. the setany function .. is it just changing the graphics or all the underlying terrain stats and functionality too? Will it be added to your save game and will it clash with the scenario weather when you load it? I've no idea. I only use it to test how things look. Not how they play.

There is no living/dynamic list because it would change multiple times a day. One of us posted a list years ago of what we considered the safe ones, it was out of date before it was posted and people soon started complaining that turning off the turn limits was breaking scenarios.

So bottom line .. use them if you want but don't expect them to be without issues. If theres something you find you use all the time and can't do without, post about it. You might not be alone and you may find it gets added as a feature. If you're nice about it ..

Go for it mate, I'm a huge fan of the Random mission generator and all I really want is a proper option to select a dramatic winter wonderland map to see how my boys would do with cold feet..

"Sure, i've got nothing planned for the next few days"

I hear ya. And you're not alone. The devs are aware that the Random map generator isn't what it could be.

Warsaw is really a pain in the ass if you already played it a few times. Takes sooo long...
