Deus Ex: Invisible War Debug Menu Guide/FAQ

==========================================================================

To create the debug menu I would suggest that you backup the two files which we need to edit. Which are "dx2menu.ini" and "dx2ui.ini"
Start by opening "dx2menu.ini" in notepad.
Which should be in "C:\Program Files\Deus Ex - Invisible War\System" if game was installed in the default folder.

The file should look like this.
==========================================================================
// DX2 User Menu Configuration File

// "//" comments are acceptable; "/*" - "*/" comments are not.

// To add a submenu: 
//
//		[Submenu string text]
//		{
//			// submenu contents go here
//		}

// To add a menu item that executes a console command:
//
//		<menu text string, CONSOLE COMMAND TEXT>

// To add a "double menu item":
//
//		<menu text 1, CONSOLE COMMAND 1; menu text 2, CONSOLE COMMAND 2>

// Other guidelines:
// - Commands should always be in ALL CAPS.
// - Always indent using TABS.
// - You should separate commands menu text and the command with a COMMA and a SPACE.

Advanced Users may wish to go thru this file and look at all the different cheats to all them in the debug menu but for this guide I will add the most common cheats in the debug menu.

Just replace everything in the "dx2menu.ini" file with this.
==========================================================================
// DX2 User Menu Configuration File

// "//" comments are acceptable; "/*" - "*/" comments are not.

// To add a submenu:
//
// [Submenu string text]
// {
// // submenu contents go here

//

<'ALLBIOMODS', ALLBIOMODS>
<'SETBIOMODSLEVEL 3', SETBIOMODSLEVEL 3>
<'ALLWEAPONS', ALLWEAPONS>
}
==========================================================================
Now save this file and we move on to activating the debug menu.
Open "dx2ui.ini" in notepad
Press ctrl+f to open a find window in notepad and search for "[DebugMenu]"
That will take you to the right section.
Which looks like this
==========================================================================
Font=HUD_Inventory
;BorderWidth=32
ListenForMouseClicks=True
InputLayerName=DebugMenu

[DebugMenu]
Type=Menu
;Pos_Z=-8
Placement_X=CENTER
Placement_Y=CENTER
PauseGame=True
==========================================================================
The only part we are interested in is the [DebugMenu] part.
Now replace everything between the [DebugMenu] to [InfoWindow]
Note do not remove anything from the infowindow part
Replace the debug menu part with this
==========================================================================
[DebugMenu]
Active=ACTIVE
Type=Menu
Placement_X=RIGHT
Placement_Y=BOTTOM
PauseGame=False
AutoSizeWidth=True
AutoSizeHeight=True
TextColor_A=24
Color_Normal_A=0
TextShadowColor_A=0
SelectedColor_A=48
UnselectedColor_A=24
Font=font8
MenuDefinitionFile=DX2Menu.ini
ListenForMouseClicks=True
InputLayerName=DebugMenu
==========================================================================

Then save the file.
Now the debug menu is ready to be used.
As you will see when you start the game that I have put a cheat menu in the debug menu so that it only takes up a small amount of room on the screen because there is no way to close the debug menu without restoring the original files.

Ok time to see how it works.
Load up the game and you will see a small menu on the bottom-right.
To access the cheat you just need to select cheats and the second menu will open. Most of the cheats are pretty straight forward. "OpenSesame" will open doors. Just stand in front of door or locker and select the "OpenSesame" cheat. If you have problems with selecting things in the cheat menu just use the arrow keys and enter to select the cheats.
Note. When entering a new area cheats need to be activated again.

I have tested these cheats on version 1.0 and version 1.2

If there are any problems or that I have missed something just drop me a line.
