Hi, my name's not Panadol, but this page is meant to cure any headaches you have or are having with Dungeon Keeper. If you just want to cheat, then you can find a trainer on the net. But if you don't like to cheat, or you are feeling guilty (tsk tsk) then you can use the cheats below, which 'only' (ehem hem hem) involves editing the creature.txt file to your liking (advantage). You should back up your original 'creature.txt' file incase you make mistakes etc. A word of warning... I think if you want to play a multiplayer game, you must use the unmodified 'creature.txt' file. | ||||||||||||||||
| Editing Your 'Creature.txt' file | |||||||||||||||||
|
|
Edit the 'creature.txt' file using Wordpad or a similar text editor for simplicity. You can now change the 2nd values to suit your needs. NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE FIRST VALUE as that particular column specifies the number code of the data and cannot be modified, without unexpected crashes. Find '...' Change '...' to---> '...' 'Game_pay_day_gap 55 10000' ---> '55 999999' This will make pay days very very far apart. So, you probably won't have to pay your creatures at all, unless you intend to spend a couple of hundred hours in each dungeon. 'Game_bodies_for_vampire 71 10' ---> '71 1' Vampires now only require one carcass in the graveyard instead of ten. Very useful for making legions of undead by killing your imps. 'Game_graveyard_convert_time 73 300' ---> '73 1' Vampires now appear almost instantly after the rotting corpse has been laid on a grave stone. By combining the above VAMPIRE cheats, you can create legions of undead by building a 9x9 graveyard. Place locked doors to seal up the place. Now Create 3-4 imps and kill them, either by slapping (very slow) or lightning (use next cheat to get free/powerful spell). Now wait for the remaining imps to place the corpse onto a grave stone. Sometimes they get frightened and try to run or loiter, so slap them or create fresh imps who are motivated. Now wait afew seconds, when the vampire rises, place it in the lair. Now repeat as many times as you like, but make sure you have enough food. 'Shot_god_lightning 16 6 15 0' ---> '16 6 2000 0' This will make ONLY YOUR lightning spell very powerful. You can kill most creatures in one shot without having to charge it up. It is very beneficial as other enemies/keepers have the regular weak lightning! 'Health_hunger_health_loss 0 50' ---> '0 0' Your creatures can now go without food without losing health. BUT, they still become unhappy if there are no chickens to eat, so it is just a tempory solution if your dungeon lacks food. NOTE, prisoners can't die from hunger if you use this cheat, so think carefully before using it. 'Health_food_gain_health 2 50' ---> '2 100' When your creatures eat, they will gain more health. You can change the amount they gain if you want, but i am not sure what the maximum figure is, if there is one in the first place. Another way to cheat is to edit the behavior patterns of the creatures themselves. I have removeed the stuff here as someone has already made an editor to edit creature stats. Get the great program at http://www.avault.com/ Just look under "D" for dungeon keeper and you'll find it. Anyway, here are somemore tips from I Richard D Kaiser. "I like to speed up my creatures by editing their base speed andwlaking animation speed settings. I also give some of my creatures a 'growup' level and then specifiy the new creature type. This creates rather interesting pssobilities for a building an army. My favorite combination follows: Imps > Trolls> > Trolls > Orcs> >> > Ghosts > Skeletons Skeletons > Vampires> > Vampires > Warlocks> >> > Flys > bugs > > Bugs > spiders. Using this scheme you can train a group of Imps into Trolls, and then train some of those Trolls into Orcs. Very handy for filling out Gaurd> Posts! Another editing trick I like to use is to change how much gold each pile, pot, and chest can hold. This allows for smaller Treasure Rooms since each tile can hold more. I alos modify how much gold each Imp digs, and how much I can grab at one time. I usually use the following settings: Description Number Value > > GAME_GOLD_PER_GOLD_BLOCK 0 8192 > > GAME_POT_OF_GOLD_HOLDS 1 2048 > > GAME_GOLD_PILE_VALUE 2 1024 > > GAME_GOLD_PILE_MAXIMUM 3 8192 > > GAME_PER_IMP_GOLD_DIG_SIZE 42 512 > > GAME_CHEST_GOLD_HOLD 56 4096 > > GAME_POWER_HAND_GOLD_GRAB_AMOUNT 59 8192 > > I have experimented with alot of the various settings in the file> and found > > that I can dramaticly change the flavor of the game by changing the> stats > > and behavior of the creatures.
