*** UPDATE 4 ***

A few people have reported still having lag with this method of getting all the spells. If you've already followed my instructions in update 1, here's a few more tips.

Run the game in windowed mode on a low resolution. You can also lower your graphical settings (turn down texture filtering and anti-aliasing in particular). This will help reduce the chance that it's just your video card being pushed to its limits.

DON'T drag all the spells onto your bar/into your inventory at once, as this is known to cause slowdowns. Only drag out the ones you're going to use.

The fireball spell in particular has been known to lag the game, especially when you first take it out. It can also cause lag that stays even when you've put the fireball away. If you don't need to use it, leave it in.

*** UPDATE 3 ***

It seems there have been a couple common problems people have been having getting this to work, so I thought I'd post them right up front. In Windows explorer, make sure you're not hiding known file extensions by going to the "Tools" menu, and then "Folder Options." Choose the view tab, and then uncheck the box that says "Hide extensions for known file types." If you don't do this or have this unchecked, when you go to rename your new text file to "myconfig.cfg" it will actually still be "myconfig.cfg.txt." For some reason, a common symtom of this problem is that only noclip works for you, and nothing else.

Also, one or two people had the spells, but just didn't know that you have to drag them into your bar/inventory from the "Magic Skills" tab. Here's some pictures to illustrate this.




TheGreatDK was kind enough to make a video of this drag and drop process, just in case some people were still having trouble with it. Click here to watch it.

*** UPDATE 2 ***

dinosaurman221 has requested the ability to edit spells to take out things like cooldown, so here's how it's done:

First, you're going to save this file to your "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Demo\mm\scripts" folder. Note: You probably won't have a scripts folder, so you'll have to create it. Next, you can open up the spells.txt file and pretty much edit to your hearts content! So for example, if I wanted to reduce the cooldown on the telekinesis spell, I'd scroll down to where I saw "// Telekynesis", and then look for the line that looks like this:

"recovery"			"10"

You can change that value to 0 for a much shorter cooldown time. Here's what this is doing: in one of the GCF files, there's also a folder called "scripts" and a file called "spells.txt," only this looks like the default one before you've made any changes. If the game finds a file outside of the GCF with the same name and path, it'll use that one instead of the one it has. That's how you're able to change the spell settings.

There's alot of other things in there to mess around with, so go experiment!

*** UPDATE 1 ***

Added "mm_player_skills_grosbill 1" to the end of the config file. What does this do? Unlocks all spells and abilities without lag!! (Shut up I'm proud of myself. ) If you're still getting lag, try taking out these two lines:

ent_messages_draw 1
developer 1

*** ORIGINAL POST ***

OK, this is a little bit combination of stuff I found elsewhere mixed with some stuff I figured out on my own. And, it's 7AM and I'm running on no sleep so excuse the incoherency.

Create a new text file called "myconfig.cfg" in your "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Demo\mm\cfg" folder. In this file, write:

bind "F1" "mm_npc_create_orc_sword_shield" 
bind "F2" "mm_npc_create_goblin" 
bind "F3" "mm_npc_create_cyclope" 
bind "F4" "mm_npc_create_Phenrig" 
bind "F5" "mm_npc_create_human_guard_bow" 
bind "F6" "mm_npc_create_undead" 
bind "F7" "mm_npc_create_wizard" 
bind "F8" "exec myconfig.cfg"
bind "F9" "god"
bind "n" "noclip"
bind "[" "map_warrior e3_l06_l09"
bind "l" "mm_player_add_skillpoints 20"
bind "q" "mm_player_add_adrenaline 100"
bind "mouse3" "ent_remove"
bind "mouse4" "ent_text"
bind "r" "CreateHairball"
bind "t" "give weapon_mm_staff_wood"
g_ragdoll_maxcount 200
arrow_unlimited 1
mm_player_stamina_megasprint_cost_per_second 0
ent_messages_draw 1
developer 1
mm_player_skills_grosbill 1

Save it, and close it. Now, right click on the shortcut to the demo, and choose properties. In the target box, after what's in there already, add " +sv_cheats 1 +map_warrior e3_l06_l09 +exec myconfig.cfg" (no quotes)

Now, this is going to do a few things. You can look at the config file and take some guesses. Basically, F1-F7 spawn NPC's wherever you're looking, some you wouldn't even normally see in the game. You can have your fun spawning them, killing them, watching them fight amongst themselves. F8 will reload the config file, so if you alt tab and change something you can reload your changes right away. You've got god mode (invincibility) on F9, noclip (fly through walls) on n, and [ will reload the map. L will give you 20 more skill points, and Q will fill your adrenaline bar for quick power moves.

If you've spawned too many entities, mouse3 will delete them. Just be careful with that, if you start deleting random stuff it can crash. Mouse4 brings up a useful info box about the entity you're looking at. R, well, it's odd. Try it for yourself.

T is set to give you a weapon that's not in the demo, and is carried by the wizard. It also has a cool new power move you should try. The "give" command there can be used with any entity that a player can hold. The ones I've discovered so far are:

item_potion_life
item_potion_mana

weapon_arxdaggers
weapon_arxclub
weapon_arxorccleaver
weapon_arx_short_sword
weapon_mm_staff_wood

weapon_arxcrossbow
weapon_mm_bow_long

weapon_mm_shield_orc
weapon_mm_shield_necroguard
weapon_mm_shield_gob
weapon_mm_shield_deathknight

You can discover more on your own by using mouse4 to look at entity names. (use the name in parenthases)

The other lines in there just increase the number of ragdolls you can have, give you unlimited arrows, sprint for free, turn on that entity text and developer mode. (which is basically a non-interactive console)

That's it! This should get you to play that demo a couple more times at least! If I find anything else cool I'll add on to this. Let me know what you think.

EDIT New fun things to bind:

npc_select

Put this on one button, it'll "select" the npc you're currently looking at.

npc_go

Orders the npc's you have selected to go to the spot you choose.

Here's where I found the cvarlist, too. You can look through that for more fun commands, and I'll post any that I find worth mentioning.

Thanks a lot! Still downloading here, but that sounds like fun. Edit: oh, create NPC "Phenrig"?

Yeah Phenrig has a couple cool spells. If you attack him he'll go into some kind of stone form and then start fireballing you. The human gaurd and the wizard are the other ones you don't really see in the game. Although, the wizard doesn't have a skin, so he looks a little funny. But he'll freeze you if you fight with him.

Ah well I just posted something jsut like this, and you seem to have somethings I don't in yours! Great job!

sadly, this isnt working for me, i've followed the directions exactly. I'm not sure what the problem is.

FYI: The Cvar list is huge! Alot of commands work, alot don't. We have plenty of time to dink around with it though! Time to dig some more.

ahh could I please get some help? This seems really great its a pain in the ass for it to not work. So far all it does in insta boot me into the level, but none of the hotkeys seem to work

not workin for me

Ok i was able to make it work by putting the binds also in the original config.cfg then changing it to read only, hope this helps

yeah i did that ^ and btw i think i found a new move, pull out your sword and near an enemy with full adrenaline crouch and do the special! have fun!

wonderful, thanks!

but... is there ANY way to unlock those spells?

or binding a key to "impulse 101"

Add these to your shortcut (must be the shortcut) to load the game faster:

-novid +map_background none

If you're having problems with the binds not working, you probably didn't create the myconfig.cfg file in the right place. Or, there might have been a typo where you exec it in the shortcut target. Make sure those two things are all proper.

As for the spells, you can get them all by changing "map_warrior" in the shortcut target to just "map", but it slows things down alot. At least it did for me anyway. This way you can choose if you want to get them all or just spawn more guys to battle.

Do these commands from munka's post work?

"mm_dynamic_difficulty 1 //Makes the AI a bit more Dynamic, not sure if this works.
arrow_always_stick 1 //Does exactly what it says!
arrow_stick_on_npc 1 //Does exactly what it says!
"

Also did you deliberately spell cyclopse as cyclope?

yes, the difficulty one changes the difficulty based on how well you do in fights so it adjusts it to your level. the arrow ones both work.

arxmagic_apply_mana_cost 0

^ unlimited mana

Useful for when you don't want to deal with the crippling slowdown starting the level with all spells seems to give. Even creating a save and then reloading without developer mode on doesn't solve it, I even went as far as deleting the bugged armor entity from the inventory and world but that didn't help. Oh, and impulse 101 doesn't work, at least not for me.

mm_stealth_invisible 1

^ I *think* this makes the character completely invisible when stealthing.

MMTelekinesis_AllowNoManaPush 1

^ Haven't tested, sounds like it allows you to push mobs/items with telekinesis when you haven't any mana rather than pick them up.

I just want to thank you guys for this as it has made the demo so much fun for me. I wished there were more enemies and a way to get full adrenaline, now there is thanks agian....

Take a look at my post for some more things to fight. Warning! The human guards are much harder to fight than the Orcs and others. I did not include the Cy because it was a huge pain to fight on the ledges and cliffs.

There is another command to use aside from "GOD". Replace it with "buddha", you will lose health but will stop at 1 health and not let you die. The downside is you get the "red effect" at that low of health and can make things really challenging hehe!

I just added probably the most important update! After searching through GCF's and the cvar list, I finally found the all spell command, and it doesn't lag!
