How to modify an exe target line?

Post by SithMaster »

I wanted to modify the demo level for starship troopers (plasma mountain or something another) but whenever i try to get -devuser to apply it says that it is an invalid path. can someone let me know how to modify the target path or the command line to allow me to use cheats.

thanks.

edit-well i figured out how i was supposed to kill the plasma bug but in all honestly this game is ridiculously bad. with such a decent license they could have done something at least on par with other shooters. for those who know about the books and movies well basically you cannot stand your ground you always have to retreat and you get swarmed a lot. and you can more or less never secure the area and even after you clear an area out if gets over run again when the game forces you to back track. cheats would still be nice to offset the design but know i just want to play to see some more fights its not fun anymore. its like halo 2's legendary compared to halo ce legendary. though i can say at times the warriors look sweet though they more often look like a bad attempt at well i want to say texturing. im sure someone from the community could do better.

I dunno, i quite liked the game (and im a die hard fan of the film. ) I played the other demo, the one where your in the desert and stuff and well i thawt they managed to capture the feel pretty well (it was ludicrously hard tho, which i liked) also the fact that there were cuts from the film in there was nice... BUT i could never get the plasma bug hill thingy demo working on my PC (well it did but the lighting was all messed up making it unplayable) and so i never got it... =(

I think you put the program url something like this "c:\program files\game\game.exe" -targetline1 -targetline2
I believe that's how it was done when I enabled the cheats on Medal of Honor Allied Assault.

well i got past the level and that so far is the only thing i have against the game aside from the graphics (which are passable though it was made in 2005 i think so the MIs could have at least had better faces)

actually my gripe with the warriors was only at a distance when they looked jagged (not sure about the term for it).

yeah the first movie great second horrible cept for soda. the books ive never read but i will and well the chronicles (that what you meant by spinoffs) was great cept for the animations though i can accept that and certain things for the plot.

i just hate the fact that i can never stand and fight and sometimes when i have a back squad they always hang back and sometimes i start a fight and see only myself shooting so i pull back and then they follow after a fight ensues.

i hate plasmas. seriously when they say that you have to kill the babies and then im like well how big can they be right well they are huge and then i find the adult and its like the size of a <insert really big thing here>.

ill try the line like that thanks jonas.

which desert level when you have to find the mines and power cell? if that was it i was enraged when the tanker tore the tower apart sending me into a hoppers corspe and i got stuck. i tried grenade hopping out no go. finally i let a warrior hit me a few times (at first they wouldnt go near me just stare at me all sad like since they didnt get how to hit me) they finally do and i run to the ship.

the bugs are the best part of the game and i would say the troopers' ai is the worst. i mean either they are all self righteous and want to take one for the team or they are just stupid. when i had to protect a tech and he had an escort every time i would run to cover him one more trooper would stay behind to be engulfed by bugs. everyone else ran off except for one of them.

well anyway i wouldnt give it an award but for something fun to play (at times) its decent. o and i hate the officer on the radio. seriously a female like cortana would have been more enjoyable. this guy just sounds like a jerk.
