WC IV

[KINTYRE]

how do I activate the cheat menu?

 

[mpanty]

IIRC press ALT+O during space flight...

 

[$tormin]

its in the manual.

 

[Dak]

And in the CIC cheats section. Even though there's more to that menu than cheating.

 

[$tormin]

is there an editor that i can use to set up really cool battles? (eg, a dozen vesuvii fighting eachother)

 

[LeHah]

I don't think theres a WC4 editor.

 

[Dak]

According to the files section there's a mission editor, but I don't know what it can do. A dozen Vesuvii might be a bit too much but a few would be good.

 

[$tormin]

cool. the WC4 engine is kinda old so it should be able to support some really cool battles

 

[Frosty]

Eh... I don't get that.

WC4 is ancient, and probably couldn't make 100% effective use of newer computer technology. Huge battles might tank.

 

[$tormin]

i ment that it wouldn't be much of a strain on the computer to have huge battles.

 

[Ghost]

ALT-O is for invulnerable, and load the game with WC4 -chicken and Alt-W to destroy the enemy ships and Ctrl-Alt-W to destroy all the enemy ships.

And I said that there's a distinct possibility that there could be. That doesn't mean that large numbers of ships would have any effect at all, it just means that it coukd have a major effect.

It's more the limitations of the engine that would be a problem. The engine wasn't designed with huge battles in mind, so it may not be able to handle them without crashing... or it might just slow to an unplayable speed... Someone's probably tried before, but you really can't know without doing it yourself.
