The common way to use cheat codes is
to press tab to open up a lone console line and then you would type the codes
in. But what if you're in a tight spot in the game and are surrounded by howlers
with only 5 health points left to your life? You're gonna die and you've got to
type?
Forget that! Here's what to do:
Find your User.ini file. This is a
file in the System folder in your Undying directory. Find it and open it in
notepad. Scroll down past all the alias stuff and get to the
1=
2=
3=
type stuff. You'll notice that
Tab=Type. Type is the command that the system executes when you press the tab
key in the game. This is called "binding". I just learned about this,
but it seems pretty simple: you can bind just about any command to any key and
have it execute with a keypress in the runtime. You will notice the bindings for
the keys that move Patrick are here too. And the keys to equip and use spells,
items, and weapons are here too. What else can we put here? Pick a key without a
binding and type in a code to the right of the equals sign. Here is the bindings
for keys 5, 6, 7, and 8 in my User.ini :
5=Astral
6=Walk
7=Behindview 1
8=Behindview 0
You can use the GiveMe [name]
[amplitude] cheat on multiple keys filling in names and amplitudes as you
see fit. Shoot, as long as you're cheating, why not bind whole groups of
commands to the same keypress? You can do this using pipes. If you press shift+\
you will get |. That's a pipe. Here's how you might use it:
Z=infinitemana 1 | Set
aeons.patrick health 999 | Woo
And if you have favorite maps you
can assign them to keys using the Open command. I recommend binding maps to keys
that are out of the way and won't be pressed by accident. Here's a line that
will start the lunacy map and set you for success with the press of one button:
PageUp=Open lunacy|Satan|Eh|Set
aeons.patrick health 666|Set aeons.patrick mana 777
Assign weapons and spells to keys
so you don't need to cycle through. Finish each firing of a weapon with 'Woo' so
you never run out of ammo.
You also may want to use some of
the UT tricks. One handy little word is 'Onrelease' which fires when you release
a button. The following line will give you the 3rd person view as long as you
have it pressed and then return you to first person view when you release the
key (in this case '9'):
9=Behindview 1 |Onrelease
Behindview 0
This could also be used to take
snapshots of a spell or weapon in action.
9=Fire|Onrelease Shot
More cool stuff can
be done with .ini files, but this should serve as a nice introduction.
