DefaultCheats.ini - XCOM:EU 2012

Overview

(Taken from Nexus Modding forum thread DefaultCheats.INI-just curious.)

XcomGame\Config has an ini file called DefaultCheats.ini.

DefaultCheats.ini contains plenty of Command Sets - console commands grouped to named sets, managed by 'XComGame.upk.XComCheatManager. (See wiki article Console_Commands_-_XCOM:EU_2012.)

Command Sets functionality is similar to the exec Filename.txt command, but they cannot be changed on the fly like commands in text files.

Details

DefaultCheats.ini syntax is obvious. I've added two sets at the end of the file.

Name=PrettyScreenshot
Command=UIToggleVisibility
Command=ToggleUnitFlags
Command=UIToggleTether
Command=UIToggleDisc
Command=ToggleFOW

Name=NeedSomeResources
Command=GiveCash 999
Command=GiveItem Elerium115 999
Command=GiveItem AlienAlloys 999
Command=GiveItem WeaponFragment 999
Command=GiveItem Meld 999

Next I've added bindings at the end of DefaultInput.ini, where Command="RunCommandSet <NameFromDefaultCheats.ini>".

[XComGame.XComTacticalInput]
.Bindings=(Name="F12", Command="RunCommandSet PrettyScreenshot")
[Engine.PlayerInput]
.Bindings=(Name="F12", Command="RunCommandSet NeedSomeResources")

The same functionality can be achieved by putting commands into a text file placed in the Binaries folder and binding it in DefaultInput.ini:

File: PrettyScreenshot.txt

Command=UIToggleVisibility
Command=ToggleUnitFlags
Command=UIToggleTether
Command=UIToggleDisc
Command=ToggleFOW

File: DefaultInput.ini

.Bindings=(Name="F12", Command="exec PrettyScreenshot.txt")

Somebody can try calling Command Sets from the code, if it's possible.
