Extra units in multi-player mode
In multi-player mode, you can get extra units for characters and vehicles by pressing [F8] and typing extras fnkqrrm. The message "Extras enabled" will confirm correct code entry. Go to the Purchase Terminal and hold [Alt] the entire time that you are looking for something to buy. There should be four new characters and two new vehicles. Note: You will only see the new units. Release [Alt] to see the normal units.
Enable Cheat Options
Press ` key (under Esc) to open up the console. Then type 'extras fnkqrrm' to enable cheat options.
Hex Codes
Savegames format
Minimum requirements: brains, patience, hex editor, some knowledge about hex editing.
Recommended: Hex Workshop 3.02
1. Play game for some time until you get a few weapons and some ammo for them
2. Save game (F6 for quick save)
3. Don't do anything, just stay still and write ammo counts for some weapon to somewhere (in your memory preferably, i assume you CAN member two numbers)
4. Exit Game or ALT-TAB out of the game <--i did this
5. Open the latest savegame in your hex editor and open up "search dialog"
6. Now comes the hard part: you must build the search string using this method:
????????1304????????
^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
| |
| Ammo in reserve
|
|
Ammo currently in your gun
Start the search. Usually only 1 result comes up, unless you had same amount of ammo and reserve in some other weapon.
Now you may see something like this:
640000001304FF000000
In this case, you would have 100 rounds in the gun and 255 rounds in the reserve, get it? Edit numbers to whatever you wish, save and get back to game. Both the current ammo and reserve ammo are saved as float (4 bytes), and
by replacing string before "1304" with "FFFFFFFF" you get unlimited "clip" or reserve to your weapon. This can be especially fun when combined with certain weapons, example would be Personal ion cannon which produces "Death Ray".
Save it as ranks.reg and run it to have all 5 stars for every mission !
