@Cray2,
What language is your keyboard?
The unhide-debug-console key is by default bound to the key to the left of the number '1' key (not the '1' on the numerical keypad), independent of the character (letter) that is actually shown on your keyboard at that key. On various keyboards i have seen, the key there can be one out of the following keys: ~ ` @ ; ' ¬ § © £ ¦ ¨ \
The key assignment can be changed:
Go to the options screen. Select 'Input'.
Click on 'UnhideDebugConsole' and hit the key you wish to use to show the debug screen.
thanks a lot!!!
now it works
There are some new commands which have come out but I can't seem to be able to figure them out. Like 'Hotkey' which enables Cheat Hotkeys. It doesn't say what the keys are. Anyone know?
I'm on Beta 4 Patch 2 (Steam latest), my first game, and not doing very well with easiest settings, I just suck completely to be precise. But until I learn to play I want to use cheats, but I cannot figure out - how do you select uninhabited planet or other object for commands like 'colonize'. I always get 'No planet selected'. I've tried clicking, double clicking, hovering, left, right, middle, +ALT +CTRL +SHIFT, +Space. Nothing seems to select uninhabitable planet. May be this option was removed from this beta?
Need your help.
Console opens with ö.
What´s the tech tree internal names?
I am trying to use the "spawn" command which I saw Paul using on the dev stream. It is asking for names for ship types and nothing I am trying is working.
Anybody got any deeper insight into the command console?
Anybody from Stardock want to give us Beta testers a couple tips here, please?
It only works on ship designs by specifying the full ship name, which is a hassle. Better to use short ship names. Furthermore the ship name must be limited to just letters and numbers (and an underscore). So to get it working do the following:
Note that:
When short ship names is active then there are problems when using the same ship name. It is supposed to overwrite a previous version, but this does not properly work. Therefor you must use an unique ship name on every save.
In the spawn command the player number 0 is always the human player. Other value mapping to your enemies depend on the generated game.
The spawn command does not work with ship templates.
It worked! My key problem was the spaces. Shoulda guessed. Tried quoting around the name, but that didn't work. So close.
Anyway, now I can show off more battles!
The devs told me not to use the debugging console. They said it is only for internal Stardock use or use under the specific direction of the devs.
The devs told me not to have fun with the first Alpha. Hah! for what the devs say.
From Stardock's perspective, the main problem with Beta testers using console commands is that it defeats their ability to investigate your saved games. So any bugs you find in such a game are basically useless to them. They can't reproduce them, they can't analyze your reports, and they can't even be sure that it's a game bug.
You can have fun with the console commands as much as you want, but you're on your own. Basically, you opt out of the Beta for that one game, because whatever you find, you can't report it as a real Beta bug.
With that in mind, go ahead and have fun. Cheating up a bunch of enemy fleets might indeed be the fastest way to test different weapon mixes in Combat Viewer.
Good points. I use the commands so I can look at fleets in the battle viewer or take screenshots. Any files I have saved for that purpose are named spawntest1, etc. Stardock support would never see one of those files! Except through certain posted screenshots, of course.
We also use the commands for ship designing. Designing in game has been the cause many lost ships.
> help colonizeSYNOPSIScolonize
DESCRIPTIONThe colonize command will colonize the currently selected planet for the current local player.
PARAMETERSNone.
Never have gotten this to work!
I'd really like a cheat code that reverses the 'Unlock' code. I'd like to reset my technologies and such. And the same for my enemies.
Hello, I can't seem to get the trait console command to work. Which part do I put in.
<Label>VigilantTrait1_Name</Label>
<String>Prepared</String> </StringTable>
I type in Unlock VigilantTrait 1 and it does not work. Is there more to add or else? Or am I putting in the wrong part? Any help on this would be great. Thanks in advance.
I'm curious about this as well.
So has anyone found out how to use the Colonize command yet?
Hmm I can't seem to get the unlock cheat to unlock affinities. They seem to be listed with names like "OutreachTrait1" to "OutreachTrait5" in the Traits Internal file, but the game doesn't recognize any of the names.
I don't think the unlock command does work with Ideologies. I've even used it with every "internal name" in the Traits files, including "Trait" and "Tier". For example, to unlock the first outreach ideology would be unlock OutreachTrait1 or OutreachTier1. Then again, the fact there are two internal names for the same thing does seem suspicious...
Anyone got anything to add?
This list of commands needs to be updated!
Try the @ key, it works for me
I haven't figured out how to determine which player number I am, so I tend to just use Unlock All and Colonize All for testing convenience.
Did the console stop working for anyone else since the last update (the one that brought Steam Workshop support)?
It worked fine before, but since that patch I can't open the console anymore. I tried re-mapping the key to all kind of positions, but to no avail.
