Unlocking All Missions and Other Tweaks

timetraveller · 03-30-10, 06:37 AM

The "start.ini file can be tweaked to do a few cool things. Read on.

The simple way to unlock all missions eluded me till yesterday.

Find your "start.ini" file in the main game folder.

Add the following line:

PHP Code:


			
<all_missions_unlocked val = "1"/>

Get rid of the intro movie:

PHP Code:


			
<play_intro val = "0"/>

Show FPS:

PHP Code:


			
<show_fps val = "1"/>

God mode:

PHP Code:


			
<god_mode val = "1"/>

Run in windowed mode:

PHP Code:


			
<window_state val = "1"/>

Other possible tweaks for the "start.ini" file are as follows:

creation_width
creation_height
locale
auto_mission
menu_mission_holder
empty_mission_holder
log_level
debug_weapon
short_asserts
physx_use_hw
single_thread
ignore_asserts
disable_sound
no_exception_error_box
profile_level
profile_quote
fixed_time_mode
disable_effects_preload
disable_pcw_rewrite
missionstats_debug
force_water_mode
enable_stdcon
debug_input
dump_type
show_script_errors
heap_check_interval

Fantastic. I have the original game i guess i will have to buy it on Steam to avoid starfarce. thanks for this great INI help.

Picked this up on sale from Steam but I can't get the unlock string to work in start.ini- I've added both "<all_missions_unlocked val = “1”/>" and "<window_state val = "1"/>" to the start.ini both inside and outside of the <root> tags, neither does anything. Anyone know what might be wrong? Think I might return this otherwise.

I have PT Boats from steam running
on Win 7. I can't find the game fold to edit the start.ini
Any suggestions?
