traod -debugkeys (flycheat!)

[TRWad]

I found a new command line option for aod. It's called -debugkeys and will enable some keys to do interresting things. To enable it, do this:
1. Enter the dos prompt and go to your AOD folder.
2. Type bin\traod -debugkeys

Some info will appear on top and 2 bars on the left. This enables some keys:
F1: Toggle window and full screen mode
F3: View game details (playing sounds, controls, textures).
F4: Toggle game speed.
F8: Zoom in on Lara.
F9: Toggle portals display
F11: Toggle texture/wireframe mode.
b: Enable fly mode. To move, use the Jump button and the cursor keys. To return to normal mode, press Action. You can fly through walls. However, if you fly out of a level and then quit fly mode, Lara will fall down forever.

Great! thanks for sharing!!

did you try the "\bin\traod -selectlevel -debugkeys" option? if you choose the strange 'all items' level (the 2nd one, right?) and if you press F11 so you get wiremodels, you can see where al the items are and where the end is of the level.

From the netherlands eh,
if you're interrested, there's a special about the new tomb raider movie on V8 in a few minutes (after the movie 'hackers')

Flying over Paris is something i always wanted to do

You can use the other modules (TRAOD_P3, TRAOD_P4) with
command line options too.You can find which one you normally
use, by running the game and pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Thanks TRWad

I like the window mode. That should have been implimented in the game.

[Kalador]

LUCKY FOR YOU!!!
I couldn't do it... I tried Everything, But always the game crashes when starting it In this F***in' WinXp..........
DAMN! Do you have Any Ideas?

[laracroft_lover]

How can I do that on my PS2?

Thanks!

Did you already cross the the river in Parisian Ghetto? There are 2 bridges over it.

[trfreak5243]

can you give better instructions... i opened up the dos prompt and typed that in but nothing happened

[Dad]

Try these 2 shortcuts HERE this will be easier.



hope this helps

well it seems that you must actually run from the traod folder so use the cd command to get you to the folder. When you start dos from the shortcut in accessories it will start like this;
C:\Documents and Settings\Name\

then you type

cd\
**press Enter**

now your at

C\>

type in

cd Program Files\Eidos Interactive\TRAOD
**press Enter**

now it says
C:\Program Files\Eidos Interactive\TRAOD>

type in
bin\TRAOD -debugkeys
**press Enter**

It should load now.
good luck

Spaces are important

I went over one bridge with roadlights on each side if i can recall,
and then started to have missing textures all over the screen,
some black spots (where there was geometry before) and Lara
started to dissappear.The bad thing is, when you get to those
loading points, you have to start again from the ground.
But it's still fun!

[trfreak5243]

thanks man... but after
"type in

cd Program Files\Eidos Interactive\TRAOD
**press Enter** "

it says
"Too Many Parameters - Files\Eidos"

[blincoln]

Try

cd "Program Files\Eidos Interactive\TRAOD"

instead.

Microsoft has some "Powertoys" for the pc that adds to the right click sub menu

Open Command Window Here
This PowerToy adds an "Open Command Window Here" context menu option on file system folders, giving you a quick way to open a command window (cmd.exe) pointing at the selected folder.

You'll be so busy with this fun stuff you will forget all about Lara fling.

i tried all that, and got into the right folder (\bin) and tried all 3 program versions but said that a non-existant file (that isn't needed for running it normally) is needed in a folder that has never been created EVER. the error came up in the grey box, (that one with the HANDLE error) after the game tried to run. ive got the update, so could it be that that is stoppiung me from using it?

[imm0rtalx]

Do not go into the 'bin' folder.Instead goto your TRAOD folder
and execute : "bin\traod -debugkeys" from there.

[baylisst]

oh, right. thanks

[imm0rtalx]

OK, for those that are "afraid" of the command promt

Right Click on your desktop -->New-->Shortcut.
Click "Browse", and goto wherever you have installed AOD.
There's a folder named "bin" and inside a file named "TRAOD.exe".Click on it and press OK.
Now click "Next", type a name for it (eg FlyCheat) and then "Finish".
There should be a new shortcut on your desktop.
Right Click on it and select Properties.
Click on the 'Target' field and add this line after TRAOD.exe : " -debugkeys" (the space is important)
Click on the 'Start In' field and delete the "\bin" part.Click OK and you're ready.

[trfreak5243]

i ran the command prompt from the aod folder but it says

'bin\traod-debugkeys' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batchfile

[imm0rtalx]

trfreak5243, insert a space after "traod".
It should look like this "bin\traod -debugkeys"

[davev7]

i get the debug thing working and all the F keys work (wire frames,etc..) but i cannot fly.. is there a certain level you are supposed to go to?

[Finiz]

nope ? Just press 'b' and move around like you are swimming...

This cheat is great Thanks to all who made it possible
