- U7CHEAT.DOC revision # : 1.0
- Ultima7 versions tested: 3.0
-
-
- Note: The manufacturer has said that they do not support or recommend
- the use of any cheat system with ULTIMA 7.
-
- Proceed at your own risk.
-
- [So far I have not had any problems with it.]
-
-
-
- Activating the cheat system:
- ---------------------------
-
- When you run the ULTIMA7 program you must also type a code word following
- the program name.
-
- The code word is "ABCD" and an ASCII 255 character (for a total of five
- characters). To get an ASCII 255 character you must hold down the ALT
- key and (while holding the ALT key down) type the numbers 2, 5, and 5 on
- the numeric keypad.
-
- eg. ULTIMA7 ABCDx
-
- where "x" is the ASCII 255 character.
-
-
- A batch file has been provided which already contains the necessary
- code word. Just type U7CHT in order to run it.
-
-
-
- Cheat system keys:
- -----------------
-
- Here are the keys that are available to you when you are walking around.
- The ones that have a "??" in the comments column are those that didn't
- seem to do much (or anything) when I tried them.
-
- CHEAT KEYS Comments
- ------------------------ ---------------------------------------------
- F2 Super Cheat System Displays cheat mode main menu.
- F3 Goto Map Location Displays map. Point and click.
- F4 Single Step Toggle Single step mode toggle.
- F5 Cast Spell Type spell number. Press ENTER. Point, click.
- F6 Barge Hack Cheat ??
- F7 Toggle Traces ??
- F8 Read Sign, Book, Etc. Press letter. Type number and press ENTER.
- F9 Target Report ?? Point and click. Not sure what it does.
- F10 Pathfind Test ??
- Alt-1 Sound Effect Type a number. Press ENTER.
- Alt-2 Frame Counter ??
- Alt-3 Sprite Effects Type a number. Press ENTER. Point & click.
- Alt-4 Dump Item Contents Point at item to dump. Click.
-
- Some of these keys (and menu items in the cheat menus) require that you
- know a number (ie. an NPC # (non-player character), a spell #, etc.).
- I don't yet have a list of these items and their numbers, so you'll have to
- experiment. One useful option in the cheat menus is the "Numbers" item
- which will display the NPC's number next to them on the screen. This number
- can be used whenever you are asked for an NPC number.
-
-
-
- Stats and Eggs:
- --------------
-
- If you add a space and the letter "S" after the "ABCD" and ASCII 255
- characters, then you can see a Status display while the program is
- loading. This includes memory usage, files being read, etc.
-
- When the program finishes it also displays some memory stats.
-
- Also, when you use the "S" parameter special "Eggs" appear in various
- locations. So far I have seen some that look like eggs, horseshoes,
- and lightning bolts. All say "Egg" when you click on them. If you
- pick up a lightning bolt while a cloud is going overhead the cloud
- vanishes while you are holding the bolt. It comes back when the bolt
- is dropped.
-
- eg. ULTIMA7 ABCDx S
-
- where "x" is the ASCII 255 character.
-
- A batch file has been provided which already contains the necessary
- code word and the letter "S". Just type U7CHTS in order to run it.
-
-
-
- Other parameters:
- ----------------
-
- The game does look for other command line parameters. However, I'm not
- sure what they all do. Use at your own risk.
-
- A It looks like you can type a number from 0 to 9 after the A.
- B Displays a message at top of screen and doesn't run program. On my
- machine I get the message: @Ovr=%uK, Line 36
- C I think it expects a multiple digit number (hex?) (minimum value?)
- P Used to run U7.EXE without first running ULTIMA7.COM (this one used
- to work for me, but lately it just seems to lock the computer up).
- (this is what ULTIMA7.COM uses to run U7.EXE)
- R It looks like you can type a number from 0 to 9 after the R.
- S See "bonus" description above. Displays load/memory status and "Eggs".
- ? Displays version information.
