Are there any working cheats for 1.3?

[HorseproofBacon]

Specifically a gold cheat. The only cheats I can find are one to modify the resource.pak file, but they fail to mention the file is encrypted and so it just comes up as jibberish.

There was one other cheat that was supposed to modify the spell extortion so that it would give you gold each time you use it, but whenever I do EXACTLY as they say to do for the modification, the game install gets "corrupted" and I have to re-install the game.

Using winRAR you can mod various aspects of the game by opening up the resource.pak with it. Don't bother changing the .pak into a .zip, as its confusing and complicated to change it back again once all the modification is done. instead just Open the resource.pak from the resource folder in your Majesty 2 directory and browse to find the winrar.exe and open it.

One of the easiest modifications you can do if you're like me and need jsut that extra bit of gold is to go through the gamedata folder in the resource.pak file and find the magic files. Open spells.xml with notepad or another text editor and scroll down to find 'magic_extortion'.

From there is a simple matter of changing the cost_money from 0 to a negative (-0000) number and then changing the f_percent from 30 to anything lower.

Afterward it should look something like this:

spell name="magic_extortion" cost_money="-2000" icon="magic_extortion" player_spell_gfx="magic_extortion"
conditions target="caster" area="1000" culldownTime="1"/
s_invention>magic_extortion /s_invention
b_instant>true /b_instant
Blocks
CollectMoneyOffPercent
f_percent 0 /f_percent
/CollectMoneyOffPercent
/Blocks
/spell

And there you go. Just save and when winRAR asks if you'd like to update the files, click yes and bingo. Start a new game/mission and use the magic spell Extortion to get all the money you need.

Those are the instructions, but they fail each time.

Hi,

you can use a cheat-tool like cheatengine. this tool read the majesty process while the game is running. you can search an analyse the process and find the value for the money.

Jim

P.S.: Don't search for the correct number of goldcoins, because the devs hide this. Look for changes of money

Or not. I think this game has it in clear. Might have to look in the floats though (just select all types for the var type)

Has anyone figured this out?

There are no "cheats". You can modify resources and put them in the resource.mod folder, and you will have your "cheats" enabled.

 

[Mike7273]

How?

 

[Hapuga]

you take them from the resoure.pak archive and work with them... You have to learn to understand what each folder means and how to change things first. Takes about a month to master.

that´s modding not cheating, most probably no one wants to learn how to do that just for cheating lol

It's easy,

1. Make sure you have WinRAR(or something comparable) installed.
2. Open "resource.pak" in your Majesty 2->resource folder.
3. In the archive open the folder gameData->magic.
4. In that folder select spells.xml and extract it to the "resource.mod" folder in your Majesty 2 directory(make sure you keep the directory structure intact, so spells.xml should now be located in Majesty 2->resource.mod->gameData->magic)
5. Open spells.xml in notepad(or your favourite txt/xml editor).
6. Change the cost of one of the spells to "-1000".
7. Save and enjoy, next time you start Majesty 2, every time you use that spell your funds will increase by 1000.

Other files you can easily edit:
* "gameData->spawn->global_spawn_settings.set" - Controls the spawning of various units, you can use this to control how many taxers, peasants, guardsmen and such you recieve from your castle, and also the total amount of sewers and how many buildings it takes to spawn each one.
* "gameData->units->rpg_params.xml" - Controls the strength and attributes of your heroes, henchmen and buildings, as well as the various monsters. You can use this to make bosses easier or harder, or super-heroes.

Thank you for the advice but I am not particularly tech savy. Could you, or someone else explain explain it again in more detail?


When you refer to "Majesty 2->resource.mod->gameData->magic" I have difficulty. I am running windows 7 and all I see is the resource.mod folder but no gamData or magic folder inside.

Alright, here's the simplest way.

1. Go to your "Majesty 2\resource.mod" folder.
2. Create a new folder inside called "gameData"
3. Open the "gameData" folder and create a folder inside called "magic".
4. Now go back to your Majesty 2 folder and open the "resource" folder.
5. Inside you will see a file called "resource.pak", open this.
6. Inside "resource.pak" open the "gameData" folder, then inside that open the "magic" folder.
7. Select "spells.xml" from inside the magic folder and drag it to your desktop.
8. Right Click "spells.xml" on your desktop and select cut.
9. Go to your "Majesty 2\resource.mod\gameData\magic" folder and paste the file inside (hold "ctrl" and press "v").
10. "spells.xml" should now be inside, and you can edit it with any text editor you like, even notepad.

If you still can't work out how, I'm writing a program to do all that for you, it will be ready in a week or two.
