Shift-8 in main menu level selection #140

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In Ares, hitting shift-8 in the level selection menu plays the stealth field 
sound, and then you're able to select any level by typing in its real number 
(so "23" for A Mothership Connection). Antares doesn't have this or another 
level-select cheat that you can use in the game itself, and this makes testing 
add-ons less convenient.

Does *05 unlock level 5? (That is, are two numbers always required?)

In Antares, this will probably be implemented to unlock the specified level but 
not any of the intervening, because Antares typically does so.

Yes, it does; two numbers are essential.

It sounds like Antares could very easily support branching mission paths, or at 
least, do a better job of it than Ares.

Put it back in. Didn't have anything handy to check that shift is being held, 
so it will work with just "8" (Shift-8 is fine too, or * on the numpad).

There's an implementation change: it will decide the number of digits required 
based on the number of chapters in the plugin. If there are 100 chapters, 3 
digits are required. If there are only 6, then only a single digit is required.

And yes, Antares is much better-suited to branching mission paths. The Iron 
Fist should already demonstrate that.
