Cheat mode
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Locate the “user.cfg” file in the game directory. If it is not present, copy the “ip.cfg” file fromthe “help” directory to the game directory and rename it to “user.cfg”. Use a text editor to edit the “user.cfg” file. Add the following entries to the file:
- undead
- gun_degrade_rate 0
- no_spawn
This allows the game to be played in God mode with weapons that do not break and monsters that do not respawn.
