Cheat for descent2: (work in version 1.2 only)
-----------------------------------------------
honestbob : all weapon
wildfire : rapid fire
imagespace : robot firing off
silkwing : rabid robots
duddaboo : bouncing weapons
oralgroove : all keys
blueorb : give shield
delshiftb : pass the level
Modify the save game:
---------------------
Using a hex/binary disk editor
sector 11
don't alter until you have the items first of all, else
it will crash.
bottom row page 1 = vulcan ammo
top 2 rows page 2 = missiles, mines etc.
right hand digits row 3(? or 4) score for extra lives
These are hex pairs usually 00 00 00 00
normally seen as 03 00 02 00
etc.
The high order pair is on the right and normally 00, so change these to ff
and you have nearly 65000 items.
The easiest way that I have found to locate these is to search using your
diskeditor. Beforehand though note all your ammo, rockets etc, then
immediately save the game.
Use the hex convertor function from wincalc to convert your decimal numbers
to hex. Normally easiest to find the vulcan ammo as it will span 2 hex pairs,
so lessening the chance of getting the wrong sector.
Hint:
-----
In game when you die you drop all your weapons yes? well when you die dont
respawn, instead try and drop all your weapons manually, if done correctly
you should have 2 copies of the same weapon :), great for co-ops.
Extra screen resolutions:
-------------------------
Start the game with the descent2 -superhires command line. 1024x768 and
1280x1024 selections will appear on the screen resolutions menu.

this code again to kill the Guide-Bot.
