Cheat and Console Access that Work

[Nonleg]

The oft circulated
;move along
cheatcode = 1
in the ini file does not work, obviously.

The proper method is

; Move along
CheatCode = chipotle

Hit ~ to get the console, then use
Console.CreateDocumentation CommandList.txt
and it will create the text file in the game dir. There's only one cheat, money, that I discovered:
Player.setGold 0 1000000

There are a bunch of debug commands that will show in the commandlist.txt that someone may find useful.

Yes, it's fun to pretend to compete, but I use Civ more to suit my megalomaniacal tendencies. Now I'm just waiting for a good trainer

I added the CheatCode = chipotle to my .ini file, and when I got into my game I was able to hit ~ to bring up the console. It brings up a line with ">:" on it, and when I type, the text I type shows up between the ">" and the ":".

I typed in "Console.CreateDocumentation CommandList.txt" as it says in your post, but it came back with a syntax error.

The same thing happened when I typed in "Player.setGold 0 1000000".

Also, I couldn't figure out how to get back to the game instead of being in the console.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hit the tilde key again. The window disappears and the prompt goes away. As for the syntax error: first, don't put in the quotes, they're there for forum readability. Second, make sure that you spelled them correctly with the exact caps; I'm not sure that it's needed but it couldn't hurt.

An extra: check the ini file to see if your entry is exactly written. It could be that IT isn't correct and so the system won't carry out the commands.

When I'm in the console, I'm not putting in the quotation marks - they're in the posting in order to mark off exactly what I typed.

Am I typing in correctly if I type the text between the ">" mark and the ":" mark?

I'll check my .ini file.
