"Cheats 1" in console turns on cheats.

The following can be used:

"thirdperson" - Turns on 3rd Person
"give grenadelauncher" - Spawns GL
"give shotgun" - Spawn Shotgun
"give sentry turret" - Spawn Sentry Turret (then go into Commander and select a MAC to build it, fires in a 90 degree arc at all aliens)
"give masc" - spawns MASC. Can be deployed and will enter siege mode, though the model is bugged out

Fade, Onos, Flamethrower, and Jetpack aren't in the game, but some of their sounds are:

Fade - Turns you into a Fade but you'll fall through the map, has some basic sounds
Onos - Turns you into an Onos but you'll fall through the map, has more basic sounds like the stomp sound from the trailer Fall 2009
"give jetpack" - Sounds when jumping/holding jump
"give flamethrower" - Cocking sounds and fire sound.

Once again though, everything is placeholder and may change, so take it with a grain of salt. :)

If you want pure resources you could alter ( make a backup ) ResourceTower.lua in ns2/lua folder.

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>ResourceTower.kResourceInterval = 24
ResourceTower.kPlasmaInjection = 1
ResourceTower.kCarbonInjection = 1</div>

change value from 24 to 1 and you get 1 res per second :P you could alter injection values as well ^^ but make sure to enter cheats 1 so the game starts.

Thaldarin · July 2010

give crag appeared for me however looked as if it did nothing :)

Give lerk / gorge / skulk worked for me, basically putting an empty shell below where you are standing, if you want to take some screenshots these might be perfect for you.

r_stats 1 just to refresh people is an improved frame rate and developer tools monitor. It now shows texture memory, for example.

r_wireframe 0/1 for wireframe to refresh memories.

Lucid · July 2010

If you don't want to fall through the floor when using the "fade" or "onos" command, just crawl up a wall as a skulk then type the command in your console.

mattoX · July 2010

give heavy, and a nsplayer spawns ;]

give armory

give minigun haha but i'm pretty sure no sounds or model

just have to wait until more is released xD

ReK · July 2010

From the lua file:

tl;dr plasma gives 100 plasma, carbon gives 100 carbon, giveammo gives 1 clip

EDIT: All of this needs to be run on the <i>server</i> console, and, since there's no rcon right now, that means this is listenserv (singleplayer) only

Typing in 'Cheats 1' then 'exit' or 'quit' has been rumoured to have some sort of effect.

does 'cheats 1' let the game begin with one player?

Give seems to work for pretty much any entity. I've also successfully used "Give marine" and "give grenade", the latter of which only spawns an explosion.

E.g. <b>name "two words"</b>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>say anystringoftext - speaks to all (for some reason using the console command cuts off the first and last letters of the string)</div>I noticed the console likes to put [ and ] around everything you type. Perhaps this has something to do with the square brackets?

Handonam · July 2010

gg money should work as well

;) jk

UncleRay · July 2010

I think the old NS1.0 bug is back.. give grenade launcher as skulk will remove the teeth view, and you can hear sounds of grenade launcher.

give heavy ( or whatever the code is, ) changes a skulk to a heavy TSA... not good!

rsd · July 2010

You're complaining cheat commands have unexpected results?

Papayas · August 2010

Is there a code for spawning the MASC or whatever it is called?

Mendasp · August 2010

(with cheats on)
spawn masc
spawn sentry

You have to send a MAC to fully build the sentry, but the MASC is fully built and you can move it around (although I found it pretty unresponsive, I suppose that's why you need cheat commands to get it).

Zaggy · August 2010

I just created a listen server, did cheats 1 but the give commands don't do anything :(
r_stat 1 works though

TyrNemesis · August 2010

I've done and seen about all there is to do and see using this alpha so far. Looking forward to a multiplayer-functional release with a bit more tech in place!

aeroripper · November 2010

Looks like they're some new bot commands in the newest (153) build:

<b>addbot</b> - adds a simple bot
<b>removebot</b> - removes bot (although it doesn't seem to work?)

You can also move them around as commander, but they seem pretty glitchy and don't do much else yet.

yimmasabi · November 2010

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>very basic bots for load testing ("dev 1" at server, "addbots #" or "removebots #"</div>

with s may be? :)

Also you should be on "dev 1" mode to add bots. We played with 3 boths, i killed by them 2 times. Generally they stuck somewhere at corners or any objects.
