Cheats Overhaul (2 proposals) #378

Open Atari-Dude opened 9 months ago

Atari-Dude commented 9 months ago

Utilizing cheats in multiplayer could use a bit of a rework. Turn on Classic Sight? Sure, but you can't gain medals and your stats will be frozen, so you can't make any progress... just for using the GoldenEye sight lol, a 'cheat' awarded by completing the first mission of the game.

Proposal 1: The following cheats be exempt from freezing your stats and medals (do not enable 'Cheat Combat Simulator')

under "Fun": Small Jo (rename to: "Small Player"?) Small Characters

under "Gameplay": Jo Shield (rename to: "Spawn With Shield"?) Super Shield Enemy Shields Perfect Darkness

under "Weapons": Classic Sight

Proposal 2: In CS, include a Cheats page which displays all multiplayer-friendly cheats, with scrolling text at the bottom of the screen denoting whether a respective cheat enables "Cheat Combat Simulator". I may be missing some, but cheats that I have tested to be multiplayer-friendly include:

DK Mode Small Jo ("Small Player") Small Characters Invincible Jo Shield ("Spawn With Shield") Super Shield Enemy Shields Perfect Darkness Classic Sight Unlimited Ammo, No Reloads

I believe fleshing out these key areas will help lay the groundwork for developing additional cheats in the future and welcoming their use in Combat Simulator!

Additionally, I would like to brainstorm a name for "(Two-Handed Weapons)". The description that scolls can just be "Allows you to dual wield any weapons, including those requiring two hands to handle!"

Also, I agree that the "cheat" menu should be accessible from the MP menu. So annoying to have to get out of the MP section, into the options area and back to MP. I also agree with Atari-Dude that some cheats shouldn't impede your progress.

I recall that Meowsy found a better name for "(Two-Handed Weapons)" in his PCDX mod
