Activating console panel for Heroes 5: Hammers of Fate
For some reason that escapes me, Nival created an entirely new profile directory and files that contain exactly the same friggin data as the original version, but with different names.
I guess it was too much to ask that they assume we would want the same setup for the expansion as for the original.
so here's what you have to do (if it's not already working for you)...
in addition to modifying the input_a1.cfg file in your new profile directory, which should look something like this:
C:/Documents and Settings/Evgeniy/My Documents/My Games/Heroes of Might and Magic V/Hammers of Fate/Profiles/Evgeniy
you need to go to the directory for the game itself, and the profile directory THERE:
C:/Games/Heroes of Might and Magic V/profiles
and find the file:
autoexec_a1.cfg
add the same line you normally would add to the autoexec.cfg for the normal version:
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
at the very bottom.
copy that file to your personal profile directory for Hammers of Fate (the documents and settings one).
done.
that works fine for me.
NOTE:
you can get the console to pop down simply by adding the binding keys to the input_a1.cfg file, but the cheat codes themselves will not work unless you add the autoexec_a1.cfg file to your Hammers of Fate profiles directory.
for those that have forgotten what to do with your input.cfg file (in this case input_a1.cfg):
go to the line starting:
// obsolete, but strictly need for compability with some interfaces
and add the line:
bind show_console '`'
to the end of that section.
so it should look like this:
// obsolete, but strictly need for compability with some interfaces
bind close_window 'ESC'
bind confirm_action 'ENTER'
bind confirm_action 'NUM_ENTER'
bind show_console '`'
or, if you have the additional section with the debug keys listed, it would look like this:
// obsolete, but strictly need for compability with some interfaces
bind close_window 'ESC'
bind confirm_action 'ENTER'
bind confirm_action 'NUM_ENTER'
//debug keys
bind show_console '`'
Activating console panel for Heroes 5 patch 1.3
To activate the Cheats mode do next steps:
Add to autoexec.cfg string setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
Add to input.cfg string bind show_console '`' to console activation
Enter in the game console enable_cheats (after start a map)
Some useful cheat codes
advmap – start a map
enable_cheats – enable cheats on loaded map
cheats 1 – enable cheats for all single player maps
show_adventure_cell 1 – show coordinates under cursor
disable_map_decor 1 – turn off all objects on the map
show_ai_fog 1 – show AI fog of war on its turn
ignore_scenario_line 1 – open all missions in scenario line
adventure_teleport – teleport hero to point under cursor (bind the command in the input.cfg, example, bind adventure_teleport 'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'T')
adventure_remove_object – remove an object under cursor from the map (bind the command in the input.cfg, example, bind adventure_remove_object 'CTRL' + 'D')
fog_of_war – open/close fog of war (bind the command in the input.cfg, example, fog_of_war 'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'E')
show_hero_mp – display a hero move points
show_player_money – display resources of a hero
add_army – give army to a hero
add_money – add resources to a hero
add_gold – add gold to hero
add_exp – add experience to a hero
add_skill – add skill to hero
add_all_spells – add all legal spells to a hero
set_hero_luck_morale – set luck and morale to a hero
Aliases creating
You can use aliases for your maps.
Create /profiles/map-aliases.cfg file.
Add to the file an alias. Example, if you have map "Maps/Test/map.xdb", then add string "setvar test_map = Maps/Test/map.xdb"
After these manipulations the command advmap test_map will start the map "Maps/Test/map.xdb".
I found a way to enable console in release version. You will need to alter the game's autoexec, so you might want to make a back up of your Might and Magic 5 autoexec file before you mess up your FAT. Go to gamedir\profiles\autoexec.cfg and open the file using Notepad. Put this line as the final line in the autoexec so it will trigger during game boot-up:
Or you can enable console for only the selected profile by appending same line at end of user.cfg in C:\Documents and Settings\YourWinAcc\My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Profiles\YourProfile.
Following this, you can use some Heroes 5 cheats in the game. Press tilde key (key next to numerical one) to bring down console. If it doesn't work for you because you don't have the key on your keyboard, or can't find it because of foreign layout, whatever, you can always edit input.cfg in your user profile dir and change/add:
//debug keys bind show_console '`'
and substitute the tilde symbol with something you have on your freakin' keyboard. The basic thing the dev console does is to tell you what the game AI has been doing last turn. Now, to cheats themselves.
The most complex one is add_skill.
The add_skill cheat requires a skill-id or name as a parameter, so you need to find list of all 150 skills/perks/abilities names and their ids in data\data.pak\scripts\advmap-startup.lua.
HoMM 5 pak files are pkzip archives and you can access that lua scipt file using WINRAR or WINZIP to unpack the files to a directory somewhere. On a side note, unpacking all packs will speed things up since game will access uncompressed data instead of looking in archives. You can even delete the file packs after that, but you'd better move them somewhere else and keep them since upcoming patches might modify the archive files or make use of a user-preferred file override system.
Anyway, back to the cheat. So, syntaxes for add_skill would be:
add_skill Necromancy
- or -
add_skill 19
Pretty self-explanatory. The first names the skill being added, the second names the skill number (from the lua file) to be added. In the second example, skill #19 corresponds to pathfinding. It seems you can add skills over the limit -- like, more than 6 skills. However, you won't see such skills diplayed in the user interface (UI), but these skills will bestow you benefits.
add_army town nTownID, bUpgrade Will fill all hero army slots with then creatures of the town id specified. The second parameter is 0 or 1 which controls whether creatures are from upgraded dwellings or not.
Some town ids:
HEAVEN = 0
PRESERVE = 1
ACADEMY = 2
DUNGEON = 3
NECRO = 4
INFERNO = 5
Usage would be:
add_army 5, 0
Which Will fill all hero army slots with ten basic inferno creatures, whereas:
add_army 4, 1
will fill hero army slots with ten upgraded Necro creatures.
add_all_spells
Gives all spells to currently selected hero. Bypasses all skills reqs, for usage also.
set_hero_luck_morale nLuck nMorale
Sets luck and morale base values for current hero. An example syntax would be:
set_hero_luck_morale 5 3
show_player_money playernumber - This outputs resource quantities of specified player into the console. This lets you spy on the game AI. An example syntax would be: show_player_money 2.
show_hero_mp - Shows detailed movement point stats for currently selected hero. The exact quantity, stats for currently plotted path(how many points it'll take).
add_exp quantity - Adds quantity experience (XP) to currently selected hero. Syntax is add_exp 5000
clear_money - Sets all your resources to 0
add_gold quantity - Sets current gold to quantity (must be an integer) but zeroes out other resources.
@ClearFog () - to open all map
@Dragons () - to give all heroes on 1000 black dragons
add_money quantity - Sets all resources except gold to quantity and sets gold to quantity multiplied by a factor of 1000. Example syntax add_money 100 gives 100 of everything and 100000 gold.

Cheatmode:
----------
Submitted by: Steef
Update by: Dragi
In order to use Heroes 5 cheat codes, you must first enable the cheat console.
To enable the cheat console for all game profiles, locate the autoexec.cfg file
in your game folder\profiles directory. Open this file with Notepad.
Add the following line as the last line in the file:
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
The end of the file will now look something like this:
Startup
mainmenu
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
While playing, press the tilde (`) key to bring up the cheat console. Use the
following Heroes 5 cheat codes in the cheat console.
add_all_spells
Gives all spells to currently selected hero.
add_gold #
Sets current gold to # and zeroes out other resources.
add_money #
Sets all resources except gold to # and sets gold to #*1000. So add_money 100 gives
100 of all resources and 100000 gold.
clear_money
Sets all your resources to zero.
set_hero_luck_morale X Y
Sets luck (X) and morale (Y) base values for current hero.
For example, set_hero_luck_morale 5 3.
add_exp #
Adds # of experience to currently selected hero.
show_player_money #
Outputs resource quantities of specified player into console. Allows you to spy on
other players. Example: show_player_money 2.
show_hero_mp
Shows detailed movement point stats for currently selected hero - exact quantity,
stats for currently plotted path.
add_army town nTownID, bUpgrade
Will fill all hero army slots with 10 creatures of town id specified.
Second param is 0 or 1 which controls whether creatures are from upgraded dwellings or not.
Town IDs:
HEAVEN = 0
PRESERVE = 1
ACADEMY = 2
DUNGEON = 3
NECRO = 4
INFERNO = 5
Example: add_army 5, 0 will fill all hero army slots with 10 basic inferno creatures.
add_army 4, 1 will fill hero army slots with 10 upgraded Necro creatures.
@Win()
Win Mission.
@Loose()
Lose Mission.
add_skill NAME or ID
Add skills, perks or abilities. You can use either the name or ID number.
Example: add_skill Sorcery or add_skill 8 will both give Sorcery. See list
below for all 150 skills along with IDs.
Use the following names or IDs with the add_skill cheat. When using the name,
use only the name itself and not the prefix (example: Sorcery not Skill_Sorcery).

the reason why nobody is getting them to work is because the dude did not tell us on pinpoint explanation! do you put the setvar at the end of the setvar lines or a the complete end where it says startup menu or something like that??? and so your saying I edit these files and then put them into my hammer of fate profile, there are two of them does it matter? hammer of fate profile
then I enter it then it says profile, so what gives?

In case anyone is still having troublke with the cheats...
Start your Hammers of Fate game to Create a profile first, then go the Windows Explorer. you have to go to a different directory to install the codes.
It's NOT in the Profile folder of the main HOMM V, which by default should be under the Program Files folder.
You have to go to your own profile directory, then look under My Games. You should have the various profiles there- one for the first Campaigns, the other for Hammers of Fate. Edit the input_a1 and autoexec_a1 files under that profile. You should do this for any new profiles you create.
many thanks for all the contributions regarding the cheats, however i have a small problem. does anyone know the name for Ylaya, the heroine for the Dungeon campaign?

You need to add it in the input_a1.cfg file in your profile folder (the one that has a subfolder with your savegames, it's in a folder named My Games inside your document folder) in the "obsolete" section. It should look like this:
// obsolete, but strictly need for compability with some interfaces

HELLO IM JUST GOING TO REPLY TO EVERYONE HERE THAT HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLES TRYING TO GET THE CHEAT CONSOLE TO SHOW UP AFTER FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS AND STILL NOTHING HAPPEND . WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THAT NO ONE IS EXPLAINING THAT YOU HAVE TO APPLY THE DIRECTIONS TO THE PROFILES UNDER MY DOCUMENTS IN THE MY GAMES FOLDER.

I've just learned the way which is used to activate the console in version 1.3:

bind show_console '`'
just beneath the

-line"
This information is from the below thread at the official forum:
So far I haven't tested the cheats extensively, but at least the movement points cheat still works perfectly.
I guess the actual commands still work the way they did in version 1.2, it's just that one more file needs to be edited to activate the console.
* Of course the path name will be different for non-English systems.

works fine if you do this.
just make sure you modify the input.cfg file in the profiles directory where your savegames are located, not any copies located in your main game directory.
note that this ISN'T new, it's just that nival made changes to the input.cfg file and forgot to add the binding in themselves.
...and yes, I agree this is sloppy on the part of Nival; and yes, nobody should have had to work out the details of how to enable cheats in the console, it should have been in the very first readme that came with the game (and of course, it should be in the latest readme for sure).

Amazing solution.
I had exactly the same problem as you but now it works.
I've opened the old file here:
.../My documents/My Games/Heroes of Might and Magic V/Profiles/.../Input.cfg.bak
Then I have copied the two lines :
//debug keys
bind show_console '`'
And I've pasted them in the new Input.cfg that came with patch 1.3, just here :
// obsolete, but strictly need for compability with some interfaces
bind close_window 'ESC'
bind confirm_action 'ENTER'
bind confirm_action 'NUM_ENTER'
//debug keys
bind show_console '`'
And no more problem.
Perhaps it's a matter of space between the word "console" and the first "'".
Even if the cfg file assigns the '`' key to the console, in game, the correct key is the one near ESC. (For french keyboard, І).
Excuse my bad english, I hope you understand my explaination.
Thanks for all your help Sasha, you are the bomb :)

If you need more than 10 creatures do next:
use chets to gain 10 of all creatures, then leave them into sawmill or other place of your own, and keep adding them by 10...soon you will have big army... do not forget to add them back to your hero army...

BTW, In case you wondered, while trying to add IRON MAIDEN to other Heroes, I have indeed used the correct names, as well as the correct syntax for the command. I know thats true because I was able to add all of the other Skills I wanted to add to various Heroes. However, for some reason the "IRON MAIDEN" ability just doesnt add onto the other heroes. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you!! =)

Again, it's not as easy as it looks...it's the same situation as some of the spell names: some in-game names shown by your character do not correspond to how the game's scripting identifies them. For example, sure your lady-wizard is Nur in-game, but the game recognizes her as Astral (a former wizard of the previous HoMM games).

ok, I got the code to work with Isabell, but how do I give it to other heroes? When I type in "Raven", instead, I get the (Script) ERROR: Hero "Raven" doesn't exsist. The regular heroes seem to have different names from the campaign heroes.

You have not correctly entered the hero's name.
For example:
@GiveArtefact("Isabell", 28);

Has anyone used the Artifact Cheat code? If so, could you show me exactly how to type it out. Every time I used it, it tells me the hero does not exist! HELP!!!!!

Yes, cheat-codes don't work in multiplayer. Only in singleplayer.
To: Sasha
Wow! Directions were incredibly clear, complete, and concise. I was sure that this time it would be success...but it wasn't. It has not worked. I have tried but I don't know if there is any resolution to my issue. It is too bad and unfortunate. I will keep trying and hopefully the glitch is not the result of my ignorance in the matter but rather that one residing in the software. If you, or anyone else that has read my issue, eventually figures or finds out how to resolve it PLEASE let me know; I will be checking the posting regularly.
Thanks again for all your help.

Go to your directory, usually drive C: My DocumentsMy GamesHeroes of Might and Magic VProfiles Then 'Click' on the file named 'input.cfg' and open it in NotePad,
Scroll down to the line that says
// obsolete, but strictly need for compability with some interfaces
bind close_window 'ESC',
bind confirm_action 'ENTER',
'bind donfirm_action 'NUM_Enter' line,
and add
bind show_console '`'
just beneath the bind confirm_action 'NUM_ENTER' line shown above.
Now 'save' this file to the same directory.
Make sure when you click on the 'save as' you are saving it as a .cfg extension, otherwise it will save it as a text file like this,
(sample = input.cfg.txt) so when you save it from using NotePad, make sure your 'save as type' is showing 'all files' and Not 'text documents *txt'. ... same applies to any cfg file extension you change.
Now go to your Drive where you installed the game, usually Drive C: Program FilesHeroes of Might and Magic V Collector's Editionprofiles Now open the autoexec.cfg in NotePad.
Go to the bottom of the file and add, setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
This will then be the last line showing in the file when you save it.
Save it the same way you did the other one, making sure your 'save as type' is showing 'all files' and Not 'text documents
If you did this correctly and they both were saved as 'cfg' extensions, then you should be able to use the console by hitting the ` key after you load a map of course.
Sasha,
thanks for your suggestion. I tried it but nothing happened. I entered the three lines at the very end of the list, saved it, and launched the game. Once the map loaded I pressed the tilde key but nothing seemed to happen. I did not see a cursor where I could enter a cheat code, nor did I get a window into which I could that, or any other sort of change. I wonder if I am the only one having, or have had, this particular issue! It is very frustrating! Do you have any other suggestions that I can try? Anything is better than nothing at this point.
Sam.

About the Console: What I did to make it work:
Go to My Documents/My Games/Heroes of Might and Magic V/Profiles and then the profile I want to apply it to. Open the 'input.cfg' in NotePad, and add the line:
I am new at this whole experience and I am not too knowledgeable about cheat codes, how to input them, and how to activate them. However, I know that most of you are and so my problem and questions are aimed for you:
I have recently downloaded patch 1.3 and have looked at how to enter the command to pull out the cheats console during a game. I followed every step given on how to do so and still, nothing happens. As published, I have entered the necessary line (setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes) in the appropriate file and in the indicated location. Then I tried to change another line (//debug keys bind show_console '`') in the input.cfg file but I have not been successful here either because the line doesn’t exist.
Considering the line (//debug keys bind show_console '`' or the term “show_console”) I don’t know where to enter it as suggested.
Can someone pass me detailed instructions, steps, and directions as to how to resolve this to allow me to enter cheat codes? Any help from anyone is appreciated.

The code for winning a map is "@Win()" EXACTLY ---> THAT MEANS CAPITAL 'W'!. Now try again.

I'm trying add Artefacts. I tried it like this
@GiveArtefact ("Zehir", 28);. It keeps telling me that the heroe does not exist. Am I typing it in wrong, Am I spacing or not spacing enough? To borrow a phrase from Denzel Washington (Walk me through this as If I was a three year old)Please!

"The major subject you are waiting for is the map editor.
A reminder, it was never meant to be delivered with the game release. I know it was listed on the US ubi website. It was a mistake : it has never been in the product sheet at any time, and they added it on their own. It was suppressed when i saw that they listed it. I'm sorry about that. I have always made clear that the editor would be delivered during the summer, hopefully late july. As its not been delivered yet, and we are the last day of july, we'll be late on this too. But this is meant for improvements. We need to make it more user-friendly than what it is now. Quite a few people are testing it and would tell you the same thing.
Linked with this is the subject of feeling you didnt get what was promised.
I have always been very strict about what i announced. I'm quite sure i never promised any feature that was not delivered in the game release. I'll take a small example : simultaneous turns. This feature was never meant to be in the gold master, the one in the box. I said in a Q&A that this was being done, and will be delivered later. Please dont torture my words and read 'you will get it next week' I didnt set any date."

PORQUE?
hi ppl, just a question: in 2 campaigns (I'm currently onto the last mission in the Elven campaign) we are required to collect certain artifacts to aid the Hero in our war, namely Markal and Findan. How is it that after we have done so, the artifacts are not carried over into the next mission in the same campaign? It's a matter of story, isn't it? is it a bug on my version or shld i bring this up to the developers? ;)
I can not get add_army to work it never adds any army units to my hero.

1) Go to gamedir\profiles\autoexec.cfg and open the file using Notepad. Put this line as the final line in the autoexec so it will trigger during game boot-up:
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
2) In game press tilde key ("`")
3) Enter cheat-code "@Win()"
