Jesus!! lotta cheats...thanks....
p.s i tried the vanilla cheats and they didnt work??

[Imperator_OfRome]

They definitely do work ive been using them for months on RS2

How are you typing them in?

[chris10]

Jesus!! lotta cheats...thanks....
p.s i tried the vanilla cheats and they didnt work??

they do work...
did you bring up the console ?
code has to be exact or it wont work..

[military tribune]

Jesus!! lotta cheats...thanks....
p.s i tried the vanilla cheats and they didnt work??

some of the cheats work only through show_me scripts, e.g. spawn_army, perfect_spy etc. You need to write a show_me script if you want to see its effects. I can recall few ones working from game console:

add_money
process_cq
give_trait
create_unit
move_character
show_cursorstat
toggle_fow

so press "~" key and type it in you will see the effects.

process_rq does not work.

[Chris Death]

process_rq does not work.

as it doesn't in vanilla - basically all what works in vanilla 1.5 will work here.

~S~ CD

[AspisPhalanx90]

process_rq DOES work however in the mac port of RTW with the newest patch

[Megasalexandros]

HOW I PUT CORRECTLY THE CHARACTHER NAMES IN ORDER TO WORK!!
I can make the cheats to work cause the game always says to me "character not found"
Iam typing exactly
character_reset Gnaeus the Coward(the answer of the game is character not found)
Then i try to type the name without spaces GnaeustheCoward , again the same thing then i type it like that Gnaeus_the_Coward again the same! Iam not misspeling the name i type exactly what i see...
ANd yes process_rq Doesnt work at all

[drecie14]

It's because Gnaeus the Coward isn't his name...
You have to know his original name before he became the coward...

BTW
Why use cheats when playing a serious campaign?
I just don't get it...
I only used cheats when I first played RS2 to get the hang of it and discover the new stuff they did...More like a fun campaign only...
After that, I started a new campaign without cheats...

[DarthLazy]

CHeck the names file.

[Megasalexandros]

i wanted it just for the coward thing, in order to get rid of the coward characterization.
I have used it also for the original names before they got a nickname

the solution for the coward trait has been posted a few times already ..

look for the export_descr_character.txt file
and look for these entrys

Trigger battle4
WhenToTest PostBattle
Condition GeneralNumKillsInBattle = 0
and PercentageEnemyKilled > 10
Affects Coward1 1 Chance 25 (set it to 1...this one is dumb)

Trigger battle4a
WhenToTest PostBattle
Condition not WonBattle
and GeneralNumKillsInBattle = 0
and PercentageEnemyKilled < 10
Affects Coward1 1 Chance 10 (set it to 5)

Trigger battle7
WhenToTest BattleGeneralRouted
Affects Coward1 1 Chance 100 (set it to 10)

Trigger Withdraw_Before_Battle_Good_Odds
WhenToTest PreBattleWithdrawal
Condition IsGeneral
and I_WithdrawsBeforeBattle
and BattleOdds > 3
Affects Coward1 1 Chance 10 (set it to 5)

problem solved for the future

process_rq does not work.

process_rq DOES work however in the mac port of RTW with the newest patch

It's process_cq with a "c" not a "r" and yes it does work

[Dramatic Cat]

It's process_cq with a "c" not a "r"

LOLWUT??

[AspisPhalanx90]

i know the recruitment cheat doesnt work...but if you play the feral port of RTW for the mac, it does work..both process_cq and process_rq work, not that its ever used

[Nosjack]

lol sorry, I'm an idiot, I didn't know about the rq cheat, I thought you guys just both misspelled cq

*leaves thread*

[RebelCub]

Couple of ones that I've never gotten to work over the years include:

"list_characters" or "list_traits" or "list_ancillaries". The list ones have never worked for me. I'm probably doing something wrong though.

and I've never gotten "clear_messages" to work.
