Mac Cheat Mode

For Warzone 2.2.x and older, enabling cheat mode on a Mac is somewhat cumbersome...

 

Warzone v2.0.7

Edit your config file (where is it?) in TextEdit and find the following line:

debugmode=0

Change it to:

debugmode=1

Save the file, then load Warzone and start a game.

Once the game has started, press Left Shift + Delete at the same time to enable debug mode.

You should see a "CHEATS ENABLED" message and the word "Debug" should appear near the bottom of the screen next to the Reticule buttons.

You can now enter cheat codes by pressing t to enter chat mode, then type in the cheat code and press Return.

A list of codes you can use can be found on the Cheats - Warzone 2100 Cheat Codes page.

Warzone v2.0.5

Locate your Warzone application and view its package contents.

Find the "warzone2100.sh" file inside the package contents, it should be here:

Warzone 2100.app ← the folder that appears when you "Show package contents"

Contents

MacOS

warzone2100.sh

Make a duplicate of the .sh file (right-click it, choose "Duplicate") just in case!

Right click the original warzone2100.sh file and choose Open With → Other, then choose TextEdit.

You should see something like this:

#!/bin/sh
MYDIR=`dirname “$0”`
cd “$MYDIR”
pwd
exec ./warzone2100 --datadir ../Resources/data

Change the last line to:

exec ./warzone2100 --datadir ../Resources/data --cheat

Don't forget the space between /data and --cheat.

Save the file then load Warzone and start a game.

Once the game has started, press Left Shift + Delete at the same time to enable debug mode.

You should see a "CHEATS ENABLED" message and the word "Debug" should appear near the bottom of the screen next to the Reticule buttons.

You can now enter cheat codes by pressing t to enter chat mode, then type in the cheat code and press Return.

A list of codes you can use can be found on the Cheats - Warzone 2100 Cheat Codes page.

If you're on Warzone v2.3.x, v3.x or later, you don't need to do this.

See Cheats - Warzone 2100 Cheat Codes for details.
