Event Lists/Cheats

[T.j. Arnold]

You must have known the question was coming... One thing I love to do is to take a small country and bring it up on par with the larger ones, i.e. taking Greece's IC up to 60.

More or less, I'm curious to see what they are compared to the standard HoI II ones.

 

[LiamRiordan]

I hope someone gets these to work:

I use them with HoI:II Kaissereich, its excellent for bug finding! Rainbow would attest

 

[T.j. Arnold]

Ah, that one I remember! Hopefully the Devs have some input onto this.

I think they removed most of them from the game since they were boring and mostly used to cheat. Atleast I saw a post saying something simular.

No one forces anyone to cheat or 'cheat' I found them invaluable in setting up situations such as USA joins Germany, Soviets join the war early, or massed nuclear war. acceptall is great in setting up post-war alliances, and swapping territory and role playing in general.


"freedom" is in the game i've used it a lot. I had a post WW1 network of alliances between Italy, Germany, Russia, and France against the Balkans, UK, USA, South America, Spain, and Scandinavia. It was 1942 before i was ready enough to go to war- but the game ended T_T

As said in many other threads, all of the console commands (cheats) still work. What doesn't work are the random events, these have been, for the most part, removed.

 

[ewphoenix123]

they are all still in the mods/Darkest hour light/ folder you can copy them over to the darkest hour full folder and just activate the file in the events.txt

As to not fudge with the ones in the Full version, could you just rename it to something like "events2.txt", or would they not work in that manner?

 

[ewphoenix123]

sorry. let me rephrase:

The events you are looking for are mostly in the Darkest Hour\db\events\randomevents.txt file, you can copy this to the Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\db\events\folder.
To activate them you have to edit, Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\db\events.txt or 1914_events.txt, and add the line event = "db\events\randomevents.txt"

Having tried it, unfortunately, not all types of events work, presumably because they've been removed; one can no longer add IC to a random province, for example, at least not that I can work out how.

 

[BeardedHoplite]

So how exactly do i do this?

Some event commands have been changed/expanded so the old events posted on the wiki might not all work like they did in regular HOI2.

It should be possible to make events that add IC to a random province, take a look in the modding documentation folder for guides.

I am a VERY novice programmer, I barely passed VB in college, but Notepad ++ saved my rear.

Ok, after going through some of the HoI:II ARMA wiki cheat random events file, I've spliced them into a Cheats.txt.

I've quickly tested it as Greece in the 1914 campaign and everything seems fine so far, but its still use at your own risk!

I've put the cheats file into a txt file with instructions, 99% credit goes to Henrik Fåhraeus who originally coded these cheats up. I modified some of the text though for a little light humor.

I hope these help you guys test the game out and steamroll as Ireland or Mexico!!

Enjoy and yell at me if errors occur! But don't count on me, I'm not a great programmer!

EDIT1: Silly me, small error borked the cheats. Should be fixed now.

EDIT2: For some reason unknown to me, cheat 80100 that should be boosting base IC is very temperamental. Sometimes it works, sometimes it won't.
Cheat 505000 - Doesn't seem to work on Light Cruisers or Militia right now, I'll try to fix that.

EDIT3: Naval production time should be lowered now with 80104.

EDIT4: Seems some attachments to some units don't get counted on the 505000/80104 cheats for production time cuts. Artillery and most naval attachments will need time. But its still faster than normal since its only the attachment time itself will count to the ship build. I need to find the modifiers.

EDIT5: Added new cheats

 

[T.j. Arnold]

LiamRiordan, thank you for taking the time to do the work for us! I will definately be doing some, let's say, "ahistoric" choices in WWII.
The Mongol Empire will be revived!

 

[unmerged(139045)]

Try events 9000030 and 9000031, I think they're for IC and research speed, respectively.

 

[BillBear]

Do Alien Invasions still work on DH?

 

[T.j. Arnold]

I don't think so, you'd have to purposefully add them. They were stupid anyway, it was impossible to beat them.

 

[LiamRiordan]

I've added some more cheats that should make the unit build times faster, and with land brigades. I need to try and get naval brigades, can someone tell me where to find their names so I can try to make it cheaper/quicker with production boost cheat?

Also, would anyone know why the 80100 cheat is so strange? It should add more base IC to random provinces in your control. It works perfectly for Greece in my games, but rarely for Germany.

event = {
	id = 80100
	random = yes
	name = "Industrial Boost"
	desc = "We have managed to bolster our industrial might!"
	picture = "factory"

	   	action_a = {
		name = "To the factories!  You shameless booster"
		ai_chance = 0
		command = { type = construct which = ic where = -4 value = 3 }
		command = { type = construct which = ic where = -4 value = 3 }
		command = { type = construct which = ic where = -4 value = 3 }
		command = { type = construct which = ic where = -4 value = 3 }
		command = { type = construct which = ic where = -4 value = 3 }
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "I SHALL NOT CHEAT"
		ai_chance = 100
		command = { }
	}
}

EDIT: To make Light Cruisers build in 1 day, use the 80104 cheat a few times with 505000, that'll do the trick.

NOTE: Pasting the cheats link into the 1914_events WILL also carry over to the 1936 scenario.

 

[Serenissima]

80100 also doesn't work for France in 1914, but works for Belgium in 1914 and Britain and Spain in 1936... it's very nation-specific! There must be some cause of this.

@DH Devs: Is the random event range still free?
