try this: open the "user.ini" in the games system folder.
depending on what version you have, you might need to find the game-folder in your steam-folder. i'm sure you'll manage to find it.

if you open that file with notepad (or any other generic text editor) you'll notice, that this file is in plane text, but every other character is a white space. (technically they aren't white spaces, but "Null"-characters. they have a hex value of "00".)

/!\ ¡MPORTANT /!\
you will need a hex editor to change the file and keep it working!!
if you use notepad, you will end up with a worthless file and all your keybindings will stop working!

anywho.
this file contains all the keybindings of the game, like reload, toggle jetpack, etc.

if you where paying attention during the start of the game, you know what engine it uses.
right.
the unreal engine.
and thus, it has the same developer commands as most other unreal engine games.
to list a few: God, AllAmmo, PlayersOnly, Fly, BehindView
but they also used some semi-oldschool commands like: dnClip, dnAmmo, dnMonsters, dnShrink, dnEgo #

now, take a hex editor of your liking, pick a key you want to use, that isn't already taken by any other function, and add the command to that line you like to use.
you can use almost all of the function keys, since the game only uses F1 and F10.

best way to edit this file is to look at how the lines look like and trying to keep the format in the same pattern. (lines always end in "0d 0a"


if this is too difficult for you, there is an already edited version of said user.ini on GCW. =)



i hope this is what you wanted to know. =)

You, sir, are a God. Thank you

P.S.: Does not work for me...

the jetpack is there even in MP :P

An easier way to get the console is add -log to your startup commands, then in the console window that pops up when you run the game, type "Set dnWindow.DukeConsole ConsoleKey 192" without quotes.

Then, when you run the game, you can enter the console with the ~ key and enter any commands you want etc. God, DnWeapons, Summon, or AllAmmo.

why would anyone even need cheats when there's these great trainers the devs put so much work in available on this site that you pay for a subscrption to.

Because Cheats are ALWAYS betten then a trainer.

Don't get me wrong - trainers are great for functions a game does not offer - but if there IS a godmode-cheat ingame, it's always the better choice then the trainer. The cheat is wanted and tested, it won't cause glitches, crashes or anything. CH-trainers are great and work in 99% of all cases, but cheats workl in 100% and do not need another programm running. So - cheats are easier (if you can simply enter them, unlike here) and better.

That's why

Did anyone read my post?
