Go into the deftxt file in the Dark Reign Directory and you can edit
ANYTHING
in the game! I changed the time it takes for Sky fortresses
to load
up a charge and destroyed my enemy's base in minutes! You
can
finish the game pretty fast by using this with the cost,
strength,
and other attributes of units and buildings alike!! DO NOT
forget
to back up though, you might have to reinstall the game like
I did
if you're not careful. And you might have to go into the
single
mission file if you want to change the levels that you're
playing.
Go into deftxt, then scenario, then fixed then it says the
mission
ex. i10 (level 10 for imperium) and so on. Have fun with
this
but don't spoil the whole game!
There's
another level after the 12th one : Death Blow. To activate
it,
go to the level selection screen and click on the spiral after
you've
completed Level 12.
***
Select
any mission:
Edit
the file DARK\SHELL\SHELLCFG.H and change the line "#define
BTN_MISSION_COEFFICIENT
150" to "#define
BTN_MISSION_COEFFICIENT
157". You can now select any mission from
the
dial by pressing the new CHEAT button in the bottom left corner.

When
playing the Freedom Guard the skirmish tanks always seem so
fragile
compared to the enemies plasma tanks. Well now you can give
your
skirmish tanks the same characteristics as the plasma tanks.
There
is a file called 'units.txt' in ..\darkreign\dark\deftxt dir.
You
can edit this file, search for the Freedom Guard tank settings.
Look
for the 'Setstrength' entry and set your units strength to
around
500. There is another field which sets the price and
buildtime
set this to say '50 1'. This will give you cheap tough
tanks
for around 50 credits and they will be built really quickly.
Note:
You can do the same for the spyder bikes and tank hunters.
Also
there is a file called 'build.txt' which you can set the cost
and
increase the toughness of your buildings in the same way.
This
works for all missions up to the 6th one. This is because there
is a
dedicated dir and units.txt file for this scenario which you
have
to also edit in the same way.
