Cheat revealing the fog of war?

Post by pecelot »

I'm wondering whether there is a cheat that reveals not only the map, but the fog of war as well. I couldn't find it here and I have never heard about anything like it but maybe you guys know something.

That is referred to as maphack within the community and it considered cheating by both the player base and the game developers. It is especially common on vanilla due to a lack of programming to block it, but it has been used by a few players on TAD.

Don't download it (which it would appear you are trying to do) unless you want to get an IP perma-ban.

Don''t be silly, he isn''t talking about maphacking.

There is no cheat to reveal the fog of war. There is just "X marks the spot" which reveals the map but doesn''t life the fog of war..

No, it's not the same, I wanted to do that in game to see how many Jans were coming in the first mission. Never-mind, I guess :?

I wasn't aware of them back then, and I wondered if there was any legitimate way to do it in single player... :hmm:

It's a drake song. The quote means started out with nothing now I'm a world famous musician I believe.

So I was making a joke about pecelot saying he started out as a lost noob in the community asking this innocent question and now he's on our comm team. :)
