Hey Guys,

Decided to do some messing with the console in Risen. The info may be of use for all you cheaters out there , or prospects for the formation of a Risen modding community (should one start). I will revise my notes as I discover new commands and functions.

@foobar- Wasn't sure whether this was better off in the Help or Discussion forum.

Tip: When experimenting in Test Mode, it's advisable to backup your saves!

The Test Mode:

To activate the test mode, type 'minsky' (w/o quotes) as quickly as you can in-game. You should see a little string outputted that says 'test mode activated'. Now press ~ to open up the console.

Useful Commands:

List- Lists all given commands.
Help- Displays help summary of the console.
x help- Gives help on specified command.

Press TAB for auto-complete, could correct spelling, handy for figuring out codes, etc.

Risen Databank:

A useful repository containing information for all inserts/placeables of Risen. MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!
The Databank

Note for Modders: This will be useful for anyone who wishes to insert/modify the NPCs, Items, and other placeables.

Char Editing Commands:

Teach x y - Teach an attribute/skill (x) to designated level (y)

Example: Teach STR(200) - Grants 200 strength (the maximum).

Attributes:

STR: Strength
DEX: Dexterity
INT: Wisdom
LP: Learning Points

Modifying Entities

A brief summary on modifying the entities of Risen in-game:

Using edit [NPC name] a window pops up and you can alter some of that NPC properties. You must double click on the leftmost properties to open them (or navigate using arrows and enter).
Some basic things you can modify:

• all attributes and skills (HP, STR, protection values ...)
• sale and purchase modifiers for traders; you can also make any NPC a merchant (but I do not know how to insert goods to his list)
• the max value of a skill that a teacher can train you; you can also make anyone a teacher but I haven't found a way to insert a teach skill tree so he won't be able to "really" teach you;

Note that the changes you do are permanent only inside the current save. Also the edit command has a strange behavior for auto-complete and only the NPC near the hero are entered when Tab is pressed.

Gamespeed:

You can use the timescale command to alter the speed of the game. As I can see it accepts values from 0 to 2. Some example:

timescale 0.5 - slow motion
timescale 1 - default value
timescale 2 - fast mode

Thanks a lot. This certainly is gonna make my fight vs the lizards MUCH easier.
Those ugly sons of lacertians are gonna regret it now.

[karimloo]

How do I spawn Fire Crystals? Whats the code?

[Dino]

[Lukaz]

Does it have the take-over-npcs command ?

Great, thanks Werner . This and the .pak extractor are two big leaps forward.

Didn't saw it (made a big bow around WoR till i wasn't through with the game), ... there is already a database:

You can use the timescale command to alter the speed of the game. As I can see it accepts values from 0 to 2. Some example:

timescale 0.5 - slow motion
timescale 1 - default value
timescale 2 - fast mode

Using edit [NPC name] a window pops up and you can alter some of that NPC properties. You must double click on the leftmost properties to open them (or navigate using arrows and enter).
Some basic things you can modify:

• all attributes and skills (HP, STR, protection values ...)
• sale and purchase modifiers for traders; you can also make any NPC a merchant (but I do not know how to insert goods to his list)
• the max value of a skill that a teacher can train you; you can also make anyone a teacher but I haven't found a way to insert a teach skill tree so he won't be able to "really" teach you;

Note that the changes you do are permanent only inside the current save. Also the edit command has a strange behavior for auto-complete and only the NPC near the hero are entered when Tab is pressed.

@Nirolf- Shak-Otay programmed a RAM modding tool for G3. I think a similar tool could be useful for Risen. The console commands for Risen are surprisingly intuitive .

Updating Test Mode documentation.

[nirolF]

Most of the commands are indeed intuitive. To bad the help command does not work for all of them. For example MapEdit insert looks like an interesting one but I just can't figure out how to use it.

The edit command can also alter creatures and items. For creature a nice thing to do beside increasing HP and STR to make them harder would be the ViewRange (not tested to see if it works properly).
For items (mainly weapons) you can change trading amount, damage type and value, skill required to use...

I've also found that for NPC you can see routines (PropertySets -> Navigation -> Routines). Every routine contain: SleepingPoint, WorkingPoint, RelaxingPoint. I've tried to change some of those but the result was that the NPC will stay in the same place forever.

edit: I've tried to change some properties for creatures and items but none worked. The new values are saved in the edit window but the game can't see or interpret them
