HEY MATES <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

I have played COAS now for HOURS and its really a good game. (in my opinion and for sure for others to <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" /> )

Now to that what i have found out!

I had been looking in the open Program folder of AoP 2 and i have figured out how to
reaktivate the Debugorders in Game.

This Tut is for all people who maybe getting tired that they get killed by NPC every 5 minutes lol.
(depending on difficult level they have choose at the beginning)

Now the tutorial step by step.

1. open AoP 2 folder
2. open engine.ini and set debugwindow = 0 to debugwindow = 1
3. close and save the file then go into program folder
4. open up _mod_on_off.h
5. set betatestmode function to on (on means there Dev version of the game)
6. close and save the file
7. start a new Game

Now if you hit F 11 during gameplay a windows is popping up that allows you for example to
switch between GOD Mode.

IMORTANT!!!!!!
dont close the window by hitting the OK button.
just choose your command and klick the skull to close the window.
If you Hit OK you will be teleported directly to the City of Abandoned Ships!!!!!!!!!!!
And this will all break up!!!!!!! Questline and so on!

The Keys they are shown in this window are explained in the following file.
Debugger.c (i believe)

F10 in the window stand for GodMode on/off for example
but there are many other buttens you can hit <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> lol

This post i have only made to get you a clue how to get CHEATS TO WORK!!!!

CHEATING IS SOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!! lol <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />o)

i will correct some mistakes during the next days!
That is all what i have get in mind so far.....

c ya around

PS: Maybe this should be made sticky <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> of course.
 
Thanks; this should be interesting for those playing the game.
Which reminds me:

<b>People who play this game, please let me know if this should be filed in a sticky.</b> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> Thank you.. when I get the game I will sure start cheating right away! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Like getting my accuracy skill up. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Know that use cheats causes a large bugs quantity of game. Cheatrs are used by developers for game debugging. More shortly everyone should know that if gamer uses cheats let does not complain of bugs.
 
Allright here now the complete and corrected HOW TO
about enabling CHEATS in Age of Pirates 2 COAS


just following the steps and you will be able to use the Debugwindow and
the commandkeys in it.

1. go to AoP 2 install folder and open up engine.ini
2. in the file engine.ini search for Debugwindow = 0 and set it to Debugwindow = 1
3. save and close the file engine.ini
4. go to AoP2 Program folder and open up _mod_on_off.h
5. in the file _mod_on_off.h search for:

#define MOD_BETTATESTMODE "Off" // On -DEV version; Test - TST ver; Off - relize

6. set in this line "Off" to "On" to force AoP2 to start in Dev version
7. save and close the file
8. start a new game!!!


thats it.... now you are able to call the Debugwindow during the game by hitting the F11 button.
any command key of the Debugwindow is explained in the file Debuger.c in AoP2 folder Program\INTERFACE
just search in the file and you will see.....
But of course the same informations are explained in the Debugwindow

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!

don `t close the Debugwindow by hitting the OK button!!!!
just choose your Cheat and close the Window by hitting the X Button
if you do not so and close the Debugwindow by click OK you will be directly teleported
in the City of Abandoned Ships and this will all break up (Storyline and so on)
REMEMBER!! ONLY CLOSE THE DEBUGWINDOW BY CLICK THE X!!!!!

for example

hit F11 Debugwindow is popping up
click the Button F10 to switch between God Mode on/off
click the X to leave the Debugwindow
if you do so you will be invulnerable in the GAME

THAT WORKS fine for me i have tested!!!!

Allright thats all folks.
hope this will help other people to!

So long and Good Hunting <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

PS: another informaton for you folks
it seems you have to start an new game in case the savegames won't work any longer
of course they are loaded but you can 't walk around.... the reson is (i believe)
some fixed commandkeys getting remapped by using the Dev version and so you MUST start a new
game to avoid any conflicts. Another problem could be that you recognize that AoP 2 want you
to insert the original DVD. But don `t mention it just try again to start the game!
I do not know if this is a BUG or if this message been caused by reactivate the Debugwindow.

SO LONG and have fun

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> Thanks a lot mate! I saw this file but didn't know I've to press F11 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> So I straight out imported some lines from AoP (in ship.c) to get GodMode, more expérience and money <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />)

For savegames I got the same problem with AoP. Just have to go to options, reassign a touch (for exemple W(or Z for me)) and go back to game. It should work for AoP2 too.

... Playing with cheat codes isn't the best way to test a new game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dp_nogd.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ng" border="0" alt="dp_nogd.gif" />
 
....I promise I never even do that.....until next time <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />
 
Sadly I must cheat because I'm a cheater. I just can't stand getting beaten up and having no money to at least get me din.. er, ship operational. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
How do I get/cheat my capabilities (P.I.R.A.T.E.S) up? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> And how do you add ship skills and personal skills? I'm not getting enough of them when making all my skills to 100 to get perk like things. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Hello <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />
Go to Program/characters and open RPGUtilite
Near end of file you see

case "Adventurer":
ch.perks.list.IronWill = "1";
SetSPECIAL(ch, 10,10,10,10,10,10,10);

break;

I have edited Peter Blood P:I:R:AT:modding:S all to 10 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> folks

maybe i have found a problem with using the Godmode cheat in AoP 2

i have played around a while with beeing invulnerable in game..... the levelup from 1 to 2 comes
but after i had killed all people they attack me i wasn 't able to choose new perks.... in case i did not
earn any points for it.... hm maybe you do not get some points in the first level up
but i don 't think so..... so maybe using the cheats will break up char level system from AoP 2

if anyone recognize the same prob tell me please

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> Thanks. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" />

Now, another question.. how do I force the starting location to be somewhere in a pirate port? I had one new game with such location and when I tried again I only got english ports. I'm not very fond of working for countries.. but for pirates.. any time! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Also those sails seem to be sometimes changing when you buy a new ship. Someone here said about changing sails manually but I can't seem to find the changing button anywhere. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
does anyone know what line I have to modify in RPGUtilite.c to change my starting skill points,perk points and such?
