So what exactly do you want to do?

Play a map and enable cheats?

Or what are you wanting to do?

Push the ~ key then type:

/devmap q3dm?

? = 0 to 19

Cheats will then work

/god
/give all
/give quad damage

etc.

[Cooldown]

To be able to use codes in single-player mode, in the console, type: /sv_cheats 1, then, /devmap <name of map>.

Here are some cheats you can put in to the console after you have cheats enabled:

All skills unlocked at level 1: /iamacheater

Actually all you need is /devmap and the map name.

edit:NM, SP mode. Doh!!

edit 2: Cooldown, are you referring to the single player tiers or skirmish? Reason I'm asking is it doesn't seem to work in the tiers. At any rate, in all you need is /devmap for non tier.

If you devmap it will not load the tier. Just the map. You need sv_cheats beforehand for the tiers as i remember.

Push the ~ key then type:

/devmap q3dm?

? = 0 to 19

Cheats will then work

/god
/give all
/give quad damage

etc.

when I do that says that can't find the map... what should I do?

edit1: Thanks, now I can cheat

[jsolana]

what's vmu?

To guarantee that you'll be able to run cheat cvars on a map....open up your notepad, and save the notepad as "cheatserver.bat", and cut -n- paste this to it:

start quake3.exe +set dedicated 0 +set sv_cheats 1 +devmap q3dm1


then put the batch file in your q3a folder. Make a shotcut from it to your desktop. Double click it.
After it's all booted up, if you wanna switch maps, devmap "map".

Aside from whats above, you can also do screenshot stuff like:

\cg_thirdperson 1 (which needs to be set to do these options)
\cg_thirdpersonangle "180" (it can be set 0-360) 180 would be looking straight at their face
\cg_thirdpersonrange "80" would be far away. I think the default for this cvar is 40...can't remember.

just dont try this stuff online :P

[DeathWeasel]

you guys all rock

[DeathWeasel]

Only one problem, I'm not the best with comps, so, where's the console? I know this is the dumbest question of all history, but i'm good at games, bad at comps.

[Foo]

key below escape in the top left.

On a few keyboards, it's the key next to #

[DeathWeasel]

thank you. So what's the best thing to choose if you're only going to do one cheat? My friend and I are each choosing one cheat only, and versing each other on local, homemade servers. I'm thinking god, but invisibility also sounds like a good one. Anyone have their oppinions?

[Foo]

Well god's gonna trump all. You can't be killed... so.. you know, game over.

You can have some fun by setting \timescale to 0.5 or 2 instead of the default 1.

[DeathWeasel]

Ok, that was what I was thinking. Well, cya all until some other time.
I'll try the timescale change too. Thanks for the advice

make a notepad called cheat.cfg and written in it have...

/devmap q3dm7
/give quad damage

then have a copy on each pc, then in quake /bind q exec cheat.cfg then you just bump q everytime you want quad

[Foo]

The first one of those commands would disconnect the player from the server and restart the level as q3dm7...

[sketch]

oh i got it all mucked up...

first /devmap ........

then in a .cfg file give quad...

my favourite is...

give quaddamaga
give railgun

and play on xaeros level or q3dm17

[menkent]

or you could just play instagib and not bother with the cheats.

[sketch]

well i only cheat when im recording a demo then send it to my friends lol, any good insta gibs on 1.32?
