Retail cheats don't work on all keyboards, though.

Plus they're very, very limited.
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

I don't understand why you're writing something to hack the memory when you could be writing that in as some sort of more robust developer console feature in debug builds or something? That seems more useful.

Why only in debug builds?

Why are you fiddling with tabled values and not using a debug build?

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

It'd be useful for players, too, I would think.

Reminds me of Halo Custom Edition whee you could enable god mode and drop vehicles out of the sky, turn on super jumping, etc.  So much fun.  For a little while at least.


Basically, more power to the user.  You'd want to nestle it into some sort of console enable switch that could be disabled server side for multi, though.

IDK  :shrug:  My 2c.

Imagine just messing around in a mission, and on a lark, deciding to increase the HP and max velocity of your ship and go on a ramming spree.
