[COH2] CheatCommands Mod [Version: Beta 1.00]

CheatCommands Mod, version 1.26
NOTE: This version of the CheatCommands Mod will most likely be only available and updated for as long as -dev command line parameter support is enabled again.
NOTE! DO not use grid keys. Use classic keys instead to use this mod. Using grid keys disables all hotkeys assigned to abilities, which are calling CheatCommands mod functions.
Thanks to Corsix's hack to allow loading unsigned SGAs, it is possible to run SGA based mods.

CheatCommands Mod LE is pretty much the same as it's precursor but with fewer features. While Scar_DebugConsoleExecute is disabled without -dev mode, using abilities with custom hotkeys is the only way to achieve hotkey to scar function call binding.
Edit: This used to be the case. This version has even more features than Beta version.

CheatCommands Mod is not a cheat or a hack to gain advantage in multiplayer. It is a debugging tool which can be used for, but not limited to:
- taking clean screenshots (Press Control + F2 to toggle Game UI On/Off, Control + F11 to toggle Prompt On/Off)
- testing and learning units and game mechanics
- reproducing events for debugging (for example reproducing an event causing a bug/glitch)
- single player cheating

Tips:

This mod will not work in multiplayer, as it relates to cursor position and other client side features which will result a sync error.

General Knowledge/What to do if:
I get prompted with a fatal scar error:
Hit pause to unpause the game and continue execution. In most of the cases the error will be skipped and you will be able to continue playing.
If you run up into a fatal scar error, please report it by doing the following: Write down what you did exactly to produce the error and post your warnings.log here. Warnings.log can be found in C:\Users\Omistaja\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes 2 . Open it with notepad and copy and paste the contents of the file between code tags in your post.
In case you are a new member and unable to use code tags, you can also email the report to contact@janne252.com
My UI is messed up:
Either you are somehow using my Beta version of CheatCommands mod or there has been a patch changing UI and I haven't updated CheatCommands Mod to support it. You should report the latter case.
I have an idea/a concept for the mod:
Let me know. Perhaps I'm able to implement it.
I would like to use this mod as a part of my public mod:
Give me credit and you are good to go.
I lost data/I got my Case Blue progress wiped/etc:
You use CheatCommands mod at your own risk. Although there has been only once CheatCommands Mod actually caused harm which was wiping Case Blue DLC progress due to CheatCommands mod not loading Case Blue data to the game at all, I cannot give promises. There may be loss of data, most likely in form of SP/Coop/TOW progress data.

New feature implemented, will be available in the next version:
Squad/Entity Health Monitor

When ever a squad or entity has a change in their health points, a new kicker message will appear at the squad/entity. Direction of the change (positive or negative; increase or decrease; healing or taking damage) is represented with symbols plus and minus (+ and -).

This feature can be toggled ON and OFF with hotkey Control + Shift + O
Demonstration video:

Be sure to use 720p.

Will you be supporting this mod as Company of heroes 2 progresses.

Will you be supporting this mod as Company of heroes 2 progresses.

Yes, I will.

Can't for the life of me get this to work? Done exactly as you've mentioned to do above but to no avail... i have the latest download of the open beta from steam, i've changed/created a shortcut, added dev/mod/cheatcommands line to target a space after main text... also put files into main COH2 folder... but nada, zilch! Even ran as admin...


any suggestions? i tried both 1.02/1.01 but nothing,

cheers!

Latest patch from Relic broke -dev support
and thus removed the ability to use
CheatCommands mod. Relic has stated that this
will be fixed in the next weeks.

Did you ever get round to this or are you currently working on it? Just out of curiosity

1) With which Patch Version will this work ? I tried:

3.0.0.9636 = CheatCommands Mod won't work
3.0.0.9704 = CheatCommands Mod won't work

2) Is there a way to bring up the console ?

3) With CoH1 I had written a autoexec.lua in the main CoH1 folder with this in it:

bind("1", "setsimrate (8)")
bind("2", "setsimrate (2)")
bind("3", "setsimrate (100)")
bind("4", "game_hideui")
bind("5", "taskbar_hide")
bind("6", "taskbar_show")
bind("7", "PlayerColour_Disable")
bind("8", "FOW_RevealAll")
bind("9", "UI_ToggleDecorators")

Is there a way to get these commands to work with CoH2 ?
I would love to slow down the game with setsimrate sometimes.

Latest version of CoH2 CheatCommands mod worked with was open beta. Any CoH2 version post open beta has -dev command parameter disabled.

First post updated with CheatCommands Mod LE 1.0 (Works with the current version of CoH2)

Thank you so much.

Always exits game,somebody can help?
