Thief 2 - The Metal Age Increase Cash (Bug Exploitation): --------------------------------- Just before completing the mission, do a save or quicksave. Complete the mission and save it in a different save slot. Reload your last save or quicksave before completing the mission. Complete the mission again. The statistics screen should now have ADDED TOGETHER the loot from BOTH mission completions. Apparently, the variable which stores treasure amount at the end of the mission is not being cleared between loads. You can keep doing this until you have all the cash you need to buy out the store at the loadout screen for the mission immediately following. Modify Starting Cash: --------------------- You can edit the dark.cfg file and add the line "cash_bonus n" N represents the amount of cash added to the beginning of a mission. Skip to Next Mission: --------------------- Press [CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] + [END] to skip to the next mission. Easy no kill missions: ---------------------- Use a text editor to edit the "user.cfg" file in the game directory. Enter "cheats_active" on a new line, then enter ""nokillgoalcheat" on the next line. You will now be able to pass the objectives in any mission that requires you not to kill anyone. More money: ----------- Save the game immediately before completing a mission. Complete the mission as usual, and save the game in a different save position. Reload save that was made before the mission was completed. Complete the mission again. The statistics screen will combine the money from both missions. Repeat this to earn as much as needed. No Killing Rule: ---------------- This involves editing the USER.cfg file, first make a copy of the file, then add the following lines "cheats_active", "nokillgoalcheat" this will alow you to win with out worrying about the no killing rule in some missions. Hints: ------ The security cameras can be shut off one of two ways: find the switch or use a fire arrow. Guards who come across the unconscious or dead bodies of their compatriots will sound the alarm. Be sure to stuff the bodies in out-of-the-way places. Bodies of water (pools, streams) work very well. If you must fight with the sword, use short, choppy strokes. Hitting a guard will often break his swing. Pick up everything you can get your hands on. You'll always be able to use the extra cash. Better night vision: -------------------- If you are having trouble seeing in the darkness, use the following trick. Use a text editor to edit the "cam.cfg" file in the game directory. Change the "Gamma" level from "0.5" to "0.3". Note: Do not use the "-" or "=" keys or the gamma settings in the option menu, as this will cause the game to return to the default gamma range. Attach through walls: --------------------- You can swing your sword through walls when an opponent is on the other side. More money: ----------- Use a text editor to edit the "user.cfg" file in the game directory. Change the value after the "cash_bonus" entry to increase the amount of additional money available at the start of each level. Almost all doors and chest unlocked: ------------------------------------ Use a text editor to edit the "user.cfg" file in the game directory. Enter "cheats_active" on a new line, then enter "lockcheat" on the next line. Attach through walls: --------------------- You can swing your sword through walls when an opponent is on the other side.
