Why would you want cheats the moment the game comes out that's stupid it's gonna spoil the fun.

[Mikbro]

From what I have been reading on forums is the Cheat Code Console is still there in the game but Nival 'blocked' it so it can't be used.. Maybe we all need to go to UBI's Support (since that is the only place to communicate to these companies) and ask them to Unblock the 'cheat-code console'.. Maybe if enough fans request it, they will unblock it.. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/winky.gif yes yes! LOL
Go to UBI Support Here (http://www.ubi.com/us/support/) and once the page loads, click on Support Options and then click on 'more'.. (You will have to log on or if you arent' register, you will have to register).. once you log on, you can click on 'Ask a question' located at the top of the page..
(I doubt if Nival or UBI read any of these posts so please let your voice be heard thru the support team mentioned above)...

There are several threads on the gameplay forum about cheats. Do a search.

All I see is they talk about rewriting the dat files.. I was referring to Nival/UBI just Unblocking the cheat code console so people don't have to mess with the games dat files which isn't for novice's to try to do anyway... There was no reason for Nival to block the cheat code console in the game anyway.. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

THis is 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:

setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes

The file will look something like this:

//================================================== ==========================
// Startup
mainmenu
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes

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 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.

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.

I tried altering my files as per stated in the autoexec and it doesn't work. I double checked to make sure I did everything correctly concernig the alteration and I had and it doesn't work. I even tried the trainer and that doesn't work either. Any other advice would be helpful

Nothing 'wrong' about it! What is wrong is 'rewriting' game files to be able to use cheat codes... The cheat code console is still in the game but Nival/UBI has it 'Blocked'... If Nival/UBI would take the 'block' off the cheat code console, so people could use it the right way, than people wouldn't be turing to these scripts to rewrite the files taking a chance of messing the game up.

The majority of people use cheat codes only when they get really stuck in the game and can't go any further.. I know there are those who abuse the cheat codes playing the mp but most don't.. But it does not make sense for the 'Cheat Code Console' to be block in the first place, blocking it isn't stopping anyone from still using cheat codes as you can well see by these post of using the scripts to change the game files but not all of us want to take this route because we don't want to rewrite game files taking a chance of messing anything up not to mention I think it is breaking the copyright law to alter any files anyway, so come on Nival/UBI, "Unblock" the cheat code console, there is no logical reasoning for blocking it, it's never been blocked in previous Heroes games so why block it now, keeping it blocked is just hurting the 100's of fans that want it. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

The best place to find help for the cheats is most likely this:

Read through this thread, perhaps someone has already had the same problem like you and it was solved.
