4. Cheats
=========
Like many other games Warzone 2100 features a certain set of cheats that can be
used to have an advantage in the singleplayer-campaign and skirmish-games or to
just help mod- and map-makers with testing. Cheats do not work in multiplayer-
mode (except skirmish).
4.1 Cheat-mode
--------------
To be able to use cheats in the first place, you will have to start Warzone 2100
with the option --cheat. While playing, press right shift and backspace simul-
taneously. An on-screen message should appear telling you that cheat-mode has
been enabled. You can disable it using the same key combination again. Enab-
ling/disabling cheat-mode is only possible while playing, not while in the
menus.
4.2 Cheats lists
----------------
After activating cheat-mode cheats can be entered using the normal chat-
function. Cheats are ordered by their use and where they can be used.
General purpose cheats
**********************
General purpose cheats work in both, campaign-mode and skirmish/tutorial/fast-
play.
biffer baker
Your units do more damage and are stronger
double up
Your units are twice as strong
give all
Allows you to build and research everything
work harder
All currently active research topics are instantly researched
research all
Everything is researched instantly
Note: Using 'give all' will make research topics available which have an
artifact as 3D-model. Do not click those as this will cause the game to
instantly crash.
Campaign-only cheats
********************
easy
Sets difficulty to easy
normal
Sets difficulty to normal
hard
Sets difficulty to hard
get off my land
Removes all enemy units
kill
Kills the selected units or building
let me win
You win the current mission
time toggle
Starts/stops the mission timer
whale fin
Toggles infinite power on and off; everything is for free
superpower
Gives you maximum power
more power
Adds 1000 power to your pool
Note: The difficulty cheats do not stack. This means that you cannot make the
game easier by entering the easy-cheat multiple times.
Miscellaneous cheats
********************
Cheats listed here do not have to be advantageous when used. Some are helpful
for getting specific data or to help with debugging and thus aid people in
working with the game.

count me
Outputs the number of objects in the game
