Cheats Question

Hey, I have the cheats enabled and everything in the game but they do not seem to work. I am still on the mining stations, do the cheats not work for the first level? Thanks for any help

The cheat codes work just fine everywhere, but they are a bit fiddly to set up. EnableCheats has to be in the right part of the swkotor2.ini file, the keypress to call the console depends upon the keyboard localisation and so on.

Have a look towards the bottom of this thread for some info.

yeah, i couldn't use the cheats, and i followed every step exactly.

I also found that some cheat places tell you to press ~ and some places tell you to press '

Nether of them work for me

US/UK it should be ` (back apostrophe) on the top left of your keyboard. FR is apparently Alt Gr + 7. Pass on other localisations.

The best way to cheat in this game is to use this(KSE) SaveGame Editor Now go to Step 1.

Step 1: If you have a save game already, go to step 2.

Step 1.1: Start a game, save-it right away & exit the game, go to step 2.

Step 2: Go in your save game editor, chose a save, chose what you want to Change / Add / Remove, Change it, Click apply, then click commit change. Go to step 3.

Step 3: Start a Game, choose the save that you've just edited in the Save Game Editor, so you'll play with the changes that you just did.

Here's a OverView of KSE: http://files.filehosting.org/pc37793.gif

step 3: If you have specific question after trying it, come back here & i'll anwser-it all.
________________________________________________________________

Or you can edit your ini file, here's 2 hints on how to enable the cheats & all what that implies.

1st you have to Enable the Cheat function, here’s 2 hints on how to do-it :

Hint 1:

In your game Directory (the path by default is: C:\ProgramFiles\LucasArts\SWKotOR2), edit swkotor2.ini . ( sometimes you can't see the .ini extention of the swkotor.ini file, so swkotor.ini file will only show the notepad & on-it a gearing logo, see picture below ) and at the end of the [Game Options] section add EnableCheats=1 (see picture).

Cheats are now enabled. Now every game that you starts, new or with a previously saved one, while playing press simultaneously Left CTRL & Left SHIFT release it & quickly hit Tilde ( ~ ), ( ' ) or ( ` ) key for the us keyboard & the small ( ² ) for Europe (anyway whatever the button's apearance & is name ( ~ , ' , ` or ² ) its always on the left of 1on your keyboard), then during this game just hit the tilde key ( ~ , ' , ` or ² ). Also,some just need to hit the tilde ~ key.

It has been reported (Europe) that holding simultaneously the right Alt & 7 then release them & hit again the 7 will do the trick... Or, Alt+9+6. Then enter any of these cheats codes. Also when editing your .ini file under EnableCheat=1 add this line EnableConsole=1, then hold simultaneously the right Alt & 7 then release them & hit again the 7 & pause the game & enter the wanted cheats.

IMPORTANT NOTE :

KOTOR II have no console that appears in the screen, remember this character ( > ) that use to appear in the top-left corner of your screen in KOTOR 1, well it does'nt now. So Be Careful with the syntax.

Hint 2:

Before you can use codes in SW:KOTOR2, you must first enable them. Open the file "swkotor2.ini" with notepad or something similar ( sometimes you can't see the .ini extention of the swkotor.ini file, so swkotor.ini file will only show the notepad & on-it a gearing logo, see picture below ) the swkotor.ini file is in the SWkotor Directory & the path by default is:

C:\ProgramFiles\LucasArts\SWKotOR

Go to the [Game Options] section, & add the line EnableCheats=1 at the end of this section, sometime its under Disable Movies=0 (see picture below). Then save the file and close it.

Cheats are now enabled. Now every game that you starts , new or with a previously saved one, while playing press simultaneously Left CTRL & Left SHIFT release it & quickly hit Tilde ( ~ ), ( ' ) or ( ` ) key for the us keyboard & the small( ² )for Europe (anyway whatever the button's apearance & is name ( ~ , ' , ` or ² ) its always on the left of 1on your keyboard) , then during this game just hit the tilde key ( ~ , ' , ` or ² ). Also,some just need to hit the tilde ~ key.

P.S.
Don't forget to put a space inbetween "giveitem" & the items code & a space inbetween a code & his number .

giveitem expl:

giveitemspacee_imp1_01

so should read:

giveitem e_imp1_01

a code's number expl:

setstrengthspace9999

you should read:

setstrength 9999
--------------------------------------------

Here's a picture of the SWkotor2 ini file: (don't forget, sometimes you don't see the " .ini " (thats the extention) beside swkotor2)

http://67.18.37.16/2057/116/upload/p5203828.gif

& where to write the EnableCheats=1:

http://67.18.37.16/2057/116/upload/p5203843.gif

---------------------------------------------

If you still have cheating problems after using the SaveGameEditor or with the in game cheats, you would want to use a Trainer, just don't forget to look at the "read me" file included in the zip for instructions.

Good Luck & Have Fun !

The problem with the KotoR 2 console is you can't see it. Just be very careful when you type and you should be fine
