How does one get a church armoured beast master .. Out of frustration I created a stun weapon to use and try to get one but every time, the armor drops and GBAM it is an unarmoured one.

You can get them if they are the last enemy and they get psi controled.
If you have the option enabled of course.

Found that damn bug. Wrong spritesheet size. Replace the following entry in the Piratez.rul:

Code: [Select]
  - type: DEM_8.PCK
    subX: 32
    subY: 40
    width: 512
    height: 440
    files:
      0: Resources/Sprites/DEM_8.png

(the original has height: 200)

Confirmed that it worked. Didnt have any problems. Dark Ones are irritating though. So resistant to stun!!

They need the resistance because you get demon essence that does 100 acid damage,also baron of hell gives 100 of them.

It is severely restricted compared to vanilla. You must be in sight of the victim. You can only get the voodoo rod (another name for the psi-amp) while wearing the witch costume. Apart from, it functions the same way as vanilla psi-amp.

I preferred vanilla. Three guys surrounded by bodyguards while scouts hunted for victims ..  Now on longer ... :(

Sorry if this has already been asked, but are there any cheats for this?

Answer here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,3964.msg51496.html

Was actually kinda looking for things like money cheats and god-mode and what-have-you.

Oh come on, give me some credit... it is written right there!

Money cheat:

I quote: "2. editing a saved game... the save is a human-readable plain text file... and if you don't like having 50 retaliation missions at once, you can just delete them... or you can give yourself 100 billion dollars if you wish, etc."

God mode cheat:

I quote: "1. debug mode (for developers)... which you can enable in the configuration file and then use certain keyboard shortcuts to do things like: uncover entire battlescape, kill all aliens, etc."

I did see that, but I was talking more like a shortcut, like press ctrl + c to get a million dollars.  Thanks for the help.


Edit: Slight hiccup.  The post said the save would be a plain text file, but the file's a TADS Saved Game file instead.  What do I do?

There are no "quickie cheats."  Most folks around here actually prefer to make the game harder rather than easier.

As far as the save game file, it has a .sav extension which is why your system may say its a TADS Saved Game file.  However, it is a simple text file that any text editor can modify.

So feel free to fire up Notepad and cheat the hard way. ;)

Yup, that's right, but that is distance and not sight.

But that's exactly the same thing! And if it involves writing text files, it also makes you feel smarter! :)
