Activating cheats in version 1.6
To activate the Cheats mode do next steps:
1. Add to autoexec.cfg string (located in gamedir/profiles/) - setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
2. Add to input.cfg string (located in userprofile/documents/mygames/homm5/profiles/yourcharactername or where you save games folder is) bind show_console '`' to console activation
3. Enter in the game console enable_cheats (after start a map)

these 3 can be added to input.cfg same as show console
adventure_teleport – teleport hero to point under cursor (bind the command in the input.cfg, example, bind adventure_teleport 'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'T')
fog_of_war – open/close fog of war (bind the command in the input.cfg, example, fog_of_war 'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'E')

enable_cheats (after start a map)

show_ai_fog 1 – show AI fog of war on its turn

Hi, I recently picked up HOMM V with the two expansion packs.

My game version is 1.50 and I tried the changes but have not had any luck with the console popping up.

Bleh I am stuck at the first mission for the demon side where they guy is on the run from the two griffin heroes.

Any help would be appreciated as I have really enjoyed the game so far.

I've got the german collectors edition of Heroes of Might and Magic V, I've patched it to 1.6, but I can't get the console working.

I've changed the autoexec.cfg and the input.cfg, but it doesn't work. I tried to set the activation key to '#' but still I can't get the console to show.

Any ideas?

I can get the console to work after looking a lot, and in my case like the first key on my keyboard doesn't work as ~ I change that key for someone else like F12. So now when I press F12 I can open the console, but there is a problem I want to add all spells and that command was cancel since patch 1.2 so I try manually but get no luck. It tells me in the console that the @techherospell is a Nul command, so how can enable all spells? Or in the case with 1.6 you can't do it all at once, how can I manually add each one?

set_hero_luck_morale – set luck and morale to a hero

To get this to work:
when you open the input.cfg you need to put this under
the "common section (always active)" its the first thing you see at the top of the file. just scroll down a bit and copy paste the following at the bottom of this section:

// console
bind console_run_cmd 'ENTER'
bind console_run_cmd 'NUM_ENTER'
bind console_next_cmd 'DOWN'
bind console_prev_cmd 'UP'
bind console_next_string 'HOME'
bind console_prev_string 'END'
bind console_first_string 'LCTRL' + 'HOME'
bind console_last_string 'LCTRL' + 'END'
bind show_console '`'

you will still need to edit the autoexec.cfg file

I have tried just about everything now, the trainer, which corrupts the game so badly that you have to reinstall it. And these cheat codes and guides, which dosnt work. I have written setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes in first the autoexec.cfg, then the user.cfg and even in both, while I had
bind show_console '0' in my input.cfg file. Is there any help to be had for this game anymore or should I just abandon it?

Cheatcodes only works Pre-Patch
NOTE: This is disabled in later versions.

F-secure auto-quarantined the trainer, it says it has Gen:Variant.Buzy.2028 in it:

Scanners on jotti's give:
2011-07-03 Gen:Variant.Buzy.2028
2011-07-03 Generic19.WCU
2011-07-02 TR/Buzus.chjc
2011-07-03 Gen:Variant.Buzy.2028
2011-07-03 Win32/GameHack.F
2011-07-03 Trojan.Buzus-7722
2011-07-03 DLOADER.Trojan
2011-06-30 Trojan.Win32.Buzus.chjc
2011-07-02 Trojan.Buzus!eZXq/iiAAm4
maybe a false positive but still alot of red lights
