(Attention Spoiler) The Cheats Thread

[Grouchy]

You can also fire (vanilla)event 18540

Decisions, decisions...

This is for people who can not open the console or prefer clicking.
You will get an icon to click in the "Politics" screen with the desired effect.

I take no credit at all for this, as I got the concept from Baneslave in post 112 of this thread.
I have however added some of the more effects.
I am also sure it can be done better, so please do and show us!

1. Make a backup of "decisions\Political.txt".
You will usually find this at "C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Victoria II\decisions\".
This is important so that you will be able to restore to the original version if you need to.
2. Open that file and replace the last line (the single "}" at line 194 in version 1.1) with these lines:

	good_stuff = {
		alert = no
		potential = {
			ai = no
		}
		
		allow = {
		}
		effect = {
			research_points = 7200
			badboy = -50
			war_exhaustion = -10
			any_pop = {
         	      		consciousness = -50
               			militancy = -50
			}
		}
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 0
		}
	}
}

3. Save.
Of course you can just change any value or remove any effect you dislike.


P.S.
Does anyone know how to add more diplomats or raise the total level of jingoism?
I find there are too few diplomats when at war with Prussia and frinds.
Then there is too little jingoism amongst my population to get the peace I deserve against a 100% defeated Russia or USA.


Edit:
I found how to increase jingoism thanks to the post that was submitted while I was writing mine (thanks Grouchy).
Just sneak this in after the line that says "militancy = -50":

				dominant_issue = {
					value = jingoism
					factor = 0.1
				}

Should make everyone love war but do nothing about it I guess.

Please the event for decrease "infamy dont work. Why_== Please help me.

It does work.

So we can't help you unless we know what you have done wrong.

 

[unmerged(97773)]

anyone knows how to eliminate rebels?
I've been playing with rebel_types.txt but not much luck, or I'm not changing values as they should be

 

[Mehow_pwn]

I'm totally confused.. I tryed to do the event cheat

country_event = {

id = 80001

is_triggered_only = yes

title = "The Gods Blessing"
desc = "May your days be many and your troubles be few. May all God's blessings descend upon you. May peace be within you may your heart be strong. May you find what you're seeking wherever you roam."
picture = "Smithsonian"

option = {
name = "The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand."
research_points = 2000
}

option = {
name = "Money is not the most important thing in the world. Love is. Fortunately, I love money."
money = 500000
}

option = {
name = "Don't consider your reputation and you may do anything you like."
badboy = -25
}
}

But I have no idea where to put it..

 

[unmerged(97773)]

just put that into a .txt file, name it as u like for example cheats.txt as people suggested and put it into the EVENTS folder

 

[unmerged(114165)]

Does anyone know the lines for assimilation rates?

I will upload my cheat.txt after I get that because I made some nice cheats.

1.
War exhaustion/badboy reduced with reduced militancy (should get rid of rebels)

2.
Money and immigrants (not sure if immigrants work)

3.
Research

 

[unmerged(132658)]

You don't need more research points; you can just simply type in instantresearch or if you are lazy: inr. You'll have the selected tech in one day. This will work for EVERY country, so you might want to turn it off immediately after getting the tech/s you want. Just type in inr again and it's back to normal.

But you can't use this cheat without giving tech to the AI as well. Lets say you have the game paused, you type in "inr" and advance only 1 day. In this one day you will get your research completed but so also will every AI nation as well. In my opinion research points would work better as we can use those to our advantages only.

Well, the event can fire, and you get 6 options to choose from, but the windows in Vic2 isn't made for more then 3 options.. So it doesn't look that good. (A key word in cheating is to always do it in style ).

And the Immigration part works.. it does raise the immigration attraction for your country whit 200%, if you want it higher you will have to chance "the statue of liberty" flag.

 

[unmerged(150428)]

function over form for me

 

[General Lorange]

Does anybody have a cheat/event that either add a certain amount of liberals, conservatives or any other group? like event that makes 20% of pops become liberal for example...i saw one yesterday, but i dont seem to find it now

 

[Wootles]

Quick question: Doens't the "goods" cheat completely destroy your game? I never dared to use it but I expect that your since your country is overflooding the market price is getting lower and lower. This finally leads bankrupt factories and a high unemployment rate. Along with this, I'm afraid that all the fulfilled demands eventually lead to a high amount of aristocrats.

Can anyone confirm I'm right?

No idea. I used it and gave myself millions of goods and millions of cash and my economy is going perfect and factories are earning tons of money, thought there's lack of workforce in Belgium. :[

Please the event for decrease "infamy dont work. Why_== Please help me.

You're doing something wrong in that case. Make a file named "cheats.txt" in the event folder, then copy-paste the infamy event in there and ingame press tilde key (`) to open console and write in "event 80100" (without quotes '''').

 

[LordInsanity]

How do I get the various cheat events in the folder? I've disabled read-only, but it insists that you need an Administrator's permission to save in the events folder. I'm using Vista. Can anyone help?

 

[unmerged(39035)]

..Awesom cheat..

Thanks allot!! THis was really helpful. I hate rebels!

 

[DrMaier]

Can somebody make an event to get rid of liberal guys and regain more conservatives and reactionaries??
