Cheats...

dncornholio! Works the same as dnkroz, but so much more awesome!

Ke-ke-ke.  You`ll never be able to cheat in DoomRL, I think.
Formal cheat codes don`t implented, memory hacking (Cheat Engine) doesn`t work...
We just need hacks. c:

Neither DoomRL, nor any other ChaosForge will have a normally accessible cheat mode implemented. Cheats destroyed my fun in many games, and I'm not letting that happen in mine.

Developers and core testers will always have access to the debug console, but that one, while actually included in the common build, wont start without full lua code.

Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles of Putrid Debris.
It's so ingrained I even remember what it's an acronym for.
Also, idchoppers is the best cheat code ever.

Awesome! I've been wondering what it stood for.

Yeah, this, dnkroz in Duke, buckfast in GTA 1 and aiculedssul in Mortal Kombat.

setting your name to iamthelaw makes cops ignore you in GTA 1
GABBAGABBAHEY in Descent
Start Commander Keen 4 with "/nowait", press F10+G for godmode, F10+J to fly (and most other letters do something as well)

I have already forgotten the way to cheat in minesweeper, though. It was something with lot of Zs and Xs, I think.

XYZZY

Why would you want that? Unlimited flamethrower fuel is so much better =)

Also, that reminded me of "bangbangbang" in GTA 3, IIRC.

Also, Prince megahit is a classic.

*cough, cough* This may be true for the current version (I haven't really wanted to muck around with that quite yet), but I know in versions past it was entirely possible. I've made and tested shotguns that shoot 16 shells a round at 1d1 just for the hell of it, I've made a pistol with a bigger blast radius than the BFG... pretty much the only thing that can't be messed with in memory is health, and that's more because I can't quite pinpoint how many bytes the data uses than anything else (If you use too few bytes, you still die once you hit negative health)

EDIT: Incidentally, weapons with a blast radius of 1 were useless in the last version because of how knockback worked. Can anyone verify if this is still the case? I know one of the rare pistols as well as the Revenant Launcher would be majorly affected by this...

But the game feels so much better when you play without cheats. Try it - you only need 60 minutes to complete it :) .

Done that. It was indeed a great feeling. Then tried it years later again, drunk, bragging to my friends that I'll do it and ran out of time in the penultimate level. That sucked. I have to do that again some time.

Edit: Also at one point I used prince megahit and only used the cheats to make the whole thing upside down and the one that removes everything except sprites (pretty much stuff that moves). That way I beat the first level, which I had memorized at that time. Cheating to make games harder FTW =)

I did use megahit to learn how to play on specific levels. After that I completed the game manually ...
It impressed me that the levels were so well designed that I ended the game with 2-3 minutes left. The game had even some small margin for mistakes...
