Heroes of Might and Magic 5

Enabling console and basic cheats:
To do so for all game profiles go to /gamedirectory/profiles/autoexec.cfg

Put this as last line
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes


Then you can use some cheats ingame. Press tilde key [`] to bring down console.
If it doesn't work for you because you don't have the key on your keyboard,
can't find it because of foreign layout, whatever, you can always edit
input.cfg in your user profile directory:

//debug keys
bind show_console '`'

Edit this to something suitable for you then.

Cheat cods that must be entered in the console:

add_skill - takes skill-id or name as parameter, you can find list of
all 150 skills/perks/abilities names and their ids in
data\data.pak\scripts\advmap-startup.lua
HoMM 5 pak files are pkzip archives and as such you can access
that lua scipt file using winrar/winzip etc.
So, for example: add_skill Necromancy
add_skill 19 (give perk pathfinding)

You can add skills over limit it seems. E.g. more than 6 skills etc.
Though you won't see them in ui, but will get benefits.


add_army town nTownID, bUpgrade - Will fill all hero army slots with 10
creatures of town id specified.
Second param is 0 or 1 which controls
whether creatures are from upgraded
dwellings or not.

Town ids: HEAVEN = 0 PRESERVE = 1 ACADEMY = 2
DUNGEON = 3 NECRO = 4 INFERNO = 5

Example: add_army 5, 0
(will fill all hero army slots with 10 basic inferno creatures)

add_army 4, 1
(will fill hero army slots with 10 upgraded Necro creatures)


add_all_spells - Gives all spells to currently selected hero.
Bypasses all skills reqs, for usage also.


set_hero_luck_morale nLuck nMorale - Sets luck and morale base values
for current hero.
For example: set_hero_luck_morale 5 3


show_player_money playernumber - Outputs resource quantities of specified
player into console. So you can spy on ai.
Example: show_player_money 2


show_hero_mp - Shows detailed movement point stats for currently
selected hero - exact quantity, stats for currently
plotted path(how many points it'll take).


add_exp quantity - Adds quantity xp to currently selected hero.
Example: add_exp 5000

clear_money - Sets all your resources to 0

add_gold quantity - Sets current gold to quantity and zeroes out
other resources.

add_money quantity - Sets all resources except gold to quantity and
sets gold to quantity*1000. So add_money 100
gives 100 of everything and 100000 gold.


Battle hack:
People who think that ATB icons are moving too slow, can use next thing:
Add to your profiles/autoexec.cfg the following lines:
setvar ATBAction_AddRemove_Time = 0.2
setvar ATBAction_FadeOut_Time = 0.2
setvar ATBAction_Move_Time = 0.2
setvar ATBBar_ScrollSpeed = 0.2
