Hi, Thank you. I used this years ago and had a lot of fun with all the extra party members. Christina

This information was previously posted by Jayson Smith. so credit to him. Hi, Note, if you are the type of person who doesn't want to be tempted by cheats, close this message right now, delete it, empty your deleted items or trash folder, and forget you ever saw this message. First, some notes on this cheats, then the cheats themselves! These cheats require you to be good at manipulating files, and to know where Entombed keeps your game saves. On a Windows XP machine at least, the saves are deep within your documents folder, which on XP is c:\documents and settings\your username goes here\my documents. Within that folder, navigate to SavedGames\EntombedSaves\AllPlayers and you'll find several files of interest. The two of interest to cheaters are EntombedSave.sav and EntombedWorld.dat. What makes these cheats possible is that the information about your characters and, more importantly, what they're holding is stored separately from the information about the dungeon and, again important, the enemies and objects within. In this discussion, when I talk about the save file, I mean EntombedSave.sav and when I talk about the world file, I mean EntombedWorld.dat. You will need a folder or several folders to stash copies of save and world files, and you will need to be extra careful not to accidentally overwrite something you'll need later. Another thing to say about these cheats. Some of them involve taking your party out of the world they're in now and tossing them into a different world. Since the world file contains the map of the dungeon levels, it's entirely possible that you'll end up inside a wall I.E. in a location inaccessible to the character which was supposed to occupy that world. If this happens, you'll hear wall type sounds if you try to move in any direction. The easiest thing to do in this case is probably to throw away that world and create a new character as appropriate in order to hopefully get a different map. And now, the cheats! The original army cheat! This is what, as far as I know, got this whole thing started. I did not come up with this one, but it certainly got me to thinking about the implications and allowed me to come up with lots more! This cheat gives you a party of as many rescued characters as you want. Here's my rewriting of this cheat. 1. Start a game with a character you want to play. Go to the second floor and rescue your first character. Save. Copy the save and world files somewhere safe. 2. Exit that game and start a new game. The character you're creating here is a total throwaway. You do not actually want to play this character, but you do want a different rescue. As soon as the game begins and you find yourself on the first level, save. 3. Copy your original save file, but not the world file! back into EntombedSave.sav. Reload the game. 4. As I stated earlier, if you're inside a wall, just go back to step 2 above. That character was a throwaway anyway, so no great loss. Note that, since you're in a totally different world, the map has changed, so your information about unexplored spaces may be inaccurate, and if you've discovered a stairway, it won't be where you think it is. Anyway, go and find the new character and rescue them. 5. Save again, copy the save file elsewhere, and go back to step 2 above if you want another rescue. This can be repeated as many times as you like. 6. When you want to get on with it, have the game freshly saved after your final rescue, then put your original world file back in place as EntombedWorld.dat. Reload. Now you can keep playing. Note, the characters you get to rescue depend on the race of the throwaway you started with in order for that world to be generated. I don't know the exact correlation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "lori duncan" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2018 6:16 PM Hi does anyone here have the old Army cheat for Entombed? I'm using windows 7, and wanted to try out the higher levels with a bigger party. Thanks from Lori. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
