What are all the REAL cheat codes?
« on: November 10, 2008, 03:08:30 »

There are easter eggs like "s a r r" and "barels", but it seems that there is a recently discovered new class of codes that I call the REAL cheat codes, and what is probably what the server software refers to as "Cheats" as it works on some MP servers, but not others.

These cheat codes have 3 main differences from easter eggs:

1) The "`" key must be pressed at any point in the game to toggle the cheats. It must be pressed to turn them on every time you start the game.
2) Unlike easter eggs, which only result in graphical changes (usually fire), cheats actually affects the ship (sinking it, making it jump, etc)
3) Cheat codes work on ALL SHIPS!

Thus far, I know of 2:

"fly" - makes the ship jump in the air. If pressed during a jump, the ship will jump while in the air.
"sink" - causes the ship to sink as if under the "sink" trigger in the mission editor. pressing it more than once causes the "clouds" to dissapear, or even prevent the fhip from sinking if pressed early enough!

Attached are 2 pictures. The first is the result of using the "fly" code repeatedly, the second of the "sink" code at work.

As is, collisions can be easily averted and sinking can be prevented (or started) using these codes, but there HAS to be more!

Does anyone know of a list of these codes?

Hmmm... Telling everyone about hidden codes seems to be cheating in itself, to me. Spoils the fun somehow.

Moved to small talk. I keep saying: the Ship SImulator 2008 section is ONLY for technical support questions about the demo version. Thanks.

Cheats—fly, sink, see, duck, lookup—and Easter Eggs—flames, candles, barrels, chemical, bonfire, torch, megamindy—are all given in the Captain’s Journal.

Hi Marty.

I always think that hunting through all of the documentation to see where the "gems" are hidden adds to the enjoyment. When someone tells me exactly what the gems are, they loose their "value" to me.

But RMS has blown some of that fun (for me), or would have done if I hadn't already don ethe hunting.

All a matter of taste, I suppose.

Hi Terry,
I agree that it makes the exercise pointless. However, VSTEP decided to publish them all in one place in the booklet included with Collector’s Edition.
Regards,
Marty

Thanks, Mad_Fred!

Thing with these cheats is they are the answers to all of life's problems in ship sim!

Rammer did massive damage to you in MP? use the sink code to stay afloat!

Collision inevitable? use the fly code to jump over them!

Is that the Mad Fred who hasn't posted anything in this thread?

Or was he wearing his magical cloak of invisibility again? We moderators hate it when he wears that and rides around the moderators coffee-house at high speed on his unicycle. Cups of coffee go flying around everywhere.

Hehe..Different Muppet.  ;D

Nope Terry, my cloak's at the drycleaners and my unicycle has a flat tire. So it wasn't me this time. And where's the fun in throwing cups of coffe around on foot and fully visible?

Yup.. but the coffee-house spirits never showed themselves much when I was doing it.. good opportunity for them now, I guess.

Well don't just stand there. Give me a hand to clean the place up, before Luc comes back. He'll do his crust at this mess, otherwise.

Thanks.

Thanks.

By the way, isn't it a nice day out there now? Compared to yesterday.... I'm going for a stroll by the harbour, camera in hand once we've cleaned up in here.

The topic was log since exhausted. Like all, the things being discussed tend to drift. But Fred and I were talking about cheating (he cheats with his cloak).

I'm not complaining, please continue, I was finding it quite interesting reading what sorts of things you [supposedly] get up to.

It's OK Fred, they can't hear us.

Now, where were we? Oh yes. About Person 264... Yes, that's right. He's completely...

Hang on. The batteries have run out. Let me just swap them.

There. Now about Person 264
