    Default Rome Total War Cheat unlocker

    Further to my previous thread here

    I now give you the Cheat unlocker patch.

    this removes the once per game run limit aswell as unlocking the "restricted cheats" that are in Rome but disabled,

    The patch requires the .NET runtimes, if you dont have them you will need to get them from windowsupdate.microsoft.com

    Unfortunately the patch will only work on the NO-CD version of the game, i leave it up to the enterprising reader to work out how to get that, i wont give out any links and i certainly wont send the file, so there is no good PM'ing me.

    The patch will only work if you have the correct version of the executable, it supports version 1.0 and 1.1.

    Note: I do not condone piracy and i dont agree with it, this patch will on no grounds allow you to get around the copy protection on Rome: Total War, what it will do is patch the already cracked version, once again you will have to find that for yourself.

    Get the patch here

    Default Re: Rome Total War Cheat unlocker

    i'll add to this and say that i'm the guinea pig that finn used to test this on another's computer.... and it worked.

    the caveat to this is that microsoft in its infinite something or other, tells you on one of their pages that to get just the runtimes for the .net framework you have to use windows update, but when you use windows update you actually get the entire .net framework thing of 23 megs. that wouldnt be so bad, but, it also changed at least one thing on my xp machine. i now have to actually log in to windows where this was automatic before. and this is one of the things i dislike about microsoft products. you get one thing and it wants to change 6 others. this might seem like a small thing, changing my login, and it is, but it also makes me VERY suspicious of other possible changes.

    at any rate, on my xp machine, finn's patch worked flawlessly. i can now cheat to my heart's content without having to reboot the game each time. i also have NOT tested to see if i can still log into multiplayer and play a game, so be aware of that possibility also. and for those that think cheats are, well, cheats; these particular cheats make it very easy to set up various scenarios without having to mod the game or files.

    so, thanks finn :)

    @Kraellin
    There is a function in WinXp called autologin, it apears that this has been
    disabled by the download you did make. I'm not sure where it can be
    enabled (I use tweaking program), but i'm quite sure it can be done.

    you dont need to install any other win updates except the net framework - dont go to windows update as you say in the previous post

    go to

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

    this is the redistributle, .net only update.

    hope this helps

    guys -

    have you tested commands, such as invulnerable_general?

    I use the list_characters seleucid to get a list of all my characters. works fine. when i try to use invulnerable general, though, i constantly get 'err command.'

    have tried it with and without quotes around the names (have tried every name in my list - no dice). have tried it with and without my empire name first and second

    what is the syntax for that command? and do you have a syntax listing for others? (help or ? doesnt seem to work in romeshell)

    thanks

    that command needs to be done from the battle map, not the campagn map

    oh and the help works as a prefix

    eg to get help on invulnerable_general do
    ?invulnerable_general in the romeShell window in a battle screen

    I've tried this out and it's very usefull.Good work senor.
    Is there a way to give money to another faction in-game by the way.I've tried using the add_money cheat to give money to some of the other factions but it tells me that the faction cannot be found.Actually i've only tried it to help prop up Carthage(the real weakling of the game).

    i am uncertain of what program is being used to create the latest rar archives but it is NOT compatible with xAce
    (i have noticed this problem with a lot of rar downloads lately)

    grab a trial version of WinRar and the files can then be extracted from the archive.

    Sorry Cohort i havent been back to this thread in a few days.I always use winrar rather than ace or zip so i probably wouldnt have noticed a problem with the .net framework.Everything went really smoothly for me first time(and THAT is a first believe me) but i still havent figured out how to enter some of the cheats.I really only want to use them on other factions at the start of the campaign for increased difficulty as i am sick to death of modding the campaign before every new campaign.

    Thumbs down Re: Rome Total War Cheat unlocker

    Just so you know ..... If your computer starts different after you d/l the .net frame and the unlock patch then go to your account users folder ...."start" -"control panel" - "user accounts" and you will find a new account with limited acess just delete it ..... so far no one I have pointed it out to seems to think it is a hack so just delete it and your putter will start the way it did before. I found it after the mod here said his started different and so did mine.

    I have the correct patch, I also have all the files to your .exe

    However when I rune it in the directory it says

    The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

    and does not fix the game.... perhaps I am doing something wrong?

    Perhaps I am running it from a bad location. I tried to place it in the actual directory named temp in the RTW directories, but that did not work, so I tried to just run it strait from my desktop, and then strait in the RTW directory, all to no avail.... it would be rather nice for a hint in the right direction.
