- XCOM II Cheat Utility Version 1.04 Copyright (c) 1995 Douglas Peterson
-
- \****************************************************************************/
-
- Thanks for trying out my cheat utility, this is the first one I've ever
- released.
-
-
- INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- Put X2CHEAT.EXE in your XCOM II directory and run it.
- Press ESC to exit current menu or program (if at game select menu).
- Press F1 for online help at any menu.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
-
- 386 or better
- VGA graphics card or better
- DOS 3.0 or better
-
- Since XCOM requires the same, if you can run XCOM, you can run this.
-
-
- DISCLAIMER:
-
- This program is freeware and is released as is into the public domain
- with no warranty, either expressed or implied. In no event shall I be
- liable for any loss of profit or any other damage, including but not limited
- to special, incidental, consequential, or other damages resulting from the
- use of or the inability to use this program, even if I have been notified
- of the possibility of such damages.
-
-
- RESEARCH EDITING:
-
- You can select research items to be put "into research" on any of your
- bases. By selecting the research item, the lab (if any) on that base will
- be researching that item, whether or not you've 'earned' the right to.
- You are still responsible for increasing the number of scientists researching
- that item from 0. Although it's possible to edit this, I didn't include
- that ability as it messes up your lab/living space arrangements terribly.
-
- Some items don't have to be researched directly like the advanced SW5's.
- With each new sub type researched , the new SW5's will be manufacturable
- without research. If you do research any new SW5's, they will be put into
- the UFOPEDIA, but you will not be able to manufacture them.
-
-
- HINT:
-
- Research another alien commander after you get the HAMMERHEAD and you
- will be able to research "The Latest Flying Sub". I NEVER was allowed to
- research Alien Sub Construction (without cheating) and I'd played this game
- from the begining twice. That's why I created this cheat :)
-
- If someone has gotten a hold of an ACCURATE research tree for XCOM, and
- has a heart, please send me a copy. I asked a tech support guy at
- Microprose to fax me a copy of his, but he wouldn't :)
-
-
- NOTE:
-
- The 'craft' editing is incomplete. I struggled for a long time to
- figure out where they get the ships numeric value (i.e. TRITON-1), but it
- doesn't seem to exist. You can alter the type of ship, and the weapons it
- has (give a Triton a pair of Sonic Oscilators), but there is no way for you
- to tell which of your ships you are altering.
-
-
- REVISIONS:
-
- I apologize for any bugs you may have encountered, but if they are
- reported, I will fix them as soon as possible. I won't apologize for
- spelling errors (except the armour/armor thing) as I can't spell to save
- my life, but will correct any pointed out to me.
-
- 1.01 - Added 1 remaining day to Transmission Resolver because it didn't
- seem to work properly otherwise.
- Now allows you to select NONE for a craft weapon.
- Reloads the weapon you select properly.
- Fixed problem with dead soldiers in soldier edit.
-
- 1.02 - Fixed negitive money values not shown properly.
- Fixed base bug introduced in v1.01
- Added craft damage and fuel editing.
- Added research editing !!
-
- 1.03 - Added # of LABS in base title for research editing.
- Fixed abscense of highlight bar in fuel field for craft editing.
- You can now set fuel to 100% instead of just 99%.
- Added soldier copy ability.
- Corrected the spelling of ARMOR from ARMOUR (can't believe I did that!)
-
- 1.04 - Added F1 help key (altered status lines)
- Fuel changes in TRITON and BARRACUDA where a little unresponsive.
-
-
-
- Please, any comments or questions, write to me. As I have no inclination
- to charge money for this thing, a pat on the back or two would be just as
- nice.
-
- Pass this thing around!
-
-
- BTW:
-
- I will post new versions on CompuServ (Gamer's Forum, LIB 3 War Games),
- if you've found this anywhere else and are looking for a newer version I
- suggest you try there.
