The chat window commands, cheat?
Everyone like this theme: "Cheating", and are concerned about to each player know what couldn't do in a regular game.
I was doing a research to find how much you can do with the commands in the chat window, but to my surprise there are just a few links on the web that said just a little bit.
So I take my debuger last night and search for the /attach command (the only one I knew from reading some post here)... and what I found was:
/rnd
/A
/importmap
/exportmap
/demo
/goodmode
pacman
toe
/attach
/detach
/resetstrings
/reloadslic
/resetlos
After that I search for those commands on the web again, only the import and export maps where part of some post here on Apolyton but in CTP II and are used for create scenarios (I think), as /reloadslic.
I put a new PBEM game and try this commands:
/A - move your turn into the next player without the message to send them the mail. I think is like function of the A-key in a normal game. BTW you can have also the barbarians, and there you can see the entire map, really cool to see where the ruins or the goods are, not the other players, but in the next /A you can see where they are.
/rnd # - play the number of rounds indicated in #. Example /rnd 5 move for you the next 5 turns without let you play (as press the n-key 5 times)
/exportmap filename - Save the current map so any one can edit it for an other game.
/importmap filename - You can load other map over the current game, but your cities dissapear but they are still there (maybea bug
)
/demo # - ??? I think it play your turn and send the file to the first player on the list
/goodmode - I don't know I did'n bring to work this command
pacman - with out the /-key, I don't know what this do, but if you write the word it's not written into the chat window
toe - the same as pacman
/attach # - You can set all the players except you to the AI and you can continue playing like a normal game. It is useful if you have not the CD and want to play a new game, you request for a new file game from a friend who have the CD. Start playing (the CD verification is not set for PBEM I think) /attach all players and go for a new game
/detach # - Return the AI to the normal players
/resetstrings - What I see was the return of the names of the players, i.e. Santa Ana for Mexicans and quit the BerXpert set at the begining of the PBEM
/reloadslic - I did's see any efect
/resetlos - Set the map to darkness, only turn on where a city or a unit are.
If any one know more commands, or know how make it work (pacman, toe...) please bring some light to us.
This is my contribution to the tricks or cheat? thread as I mention there.
And as I suppose every body are going to said: the use of thise commands is cheat... I said is yes it's cheat, OK!
