Debugging Codes
Often
referred to as Cheat codes by
those who will probably never use them for any other purpose,
these codes can help you when
debugging any floor in any episode.
To
enter Debug Mode use one of the
following commands and parameters depending on the game and
version number:
Game |
Version |
Command
Line Parameter |
Activation
Keys |
Wolf3d |

1.1 & Later |
-
goobers |
Left
Shift, Alt, and Backspace |
Spear

All |
- debugmode |
Left
Shift, Alt, and Backspace
|
ie: To start Wolfenstein version 1.2
in debugmode, we type (from the C:/Yourdirectory> prompt):
wolf3d -goobers
Now begin
or restore a game. To activate the debugging mode press the
keys listed above simultaneously
(at the same time). You should see a message displayed
stating the debugging keys are
now available.
Once
debugging mode has been activated,
you can use the following debug commands by holding down the
Tab key while pressing one of
these keys:

Also,
the following key combinations work without initializing the debugging feature:
B-A-T
- Occasionally in the game, the sound
may disappear, so use this to restore
the sound.
I-L-M
- full health/ammo, plus 2 keys (resets your score to zero
as this one is truely a cheat!)
TAB-G-F10
- god mode (Spear only - another specific cheat for Spear of
Destiny)
Extras
Command Line
Parameters
NOWAIT - Automatically skips several
screens at game start BABY - starts game at skill level
1 (Can I play daddy) EASY -
starts game at skill level 2 (Don't hurt me) NORMAL - starts
game at skill level 3 (Bring
'Em on) HARD - starts game at skill level 4 (I am Death
Incarnate) TEDLEVEL nn - start
game at any episode and level. 'nn' is episode & level
numbers minus 1
For example, to go to the 2nd episode,
level 5 of Wolf3D,
enter: wolf3d -tedlevel 14
and to go to the
1st episode, level 9 of Wolf3D,
enter: wolf3d -tedlevel 8
To go to level 13 of SoD,
enter: -tedlevel
12
You can also lump commands or use multiple when starting
the game such as:
wolf3d -goobers -HARD -NOWAIT -tedlevel 14 Note: there
is only one episode in SoD so double-digit numbers are used
only for the level number. If you
enter "-tedlevel 20" to get to the 21st level (Angel
of Death), the floor number
shown in the game will be number 18 as the level is really
an extension of level 18.
By
default, unless you specify a skill
level (see above), you will start the game at skill level 2.
Music JukeBox
While
the main memory screen is showing, press and hold the "M"
key. This will bring
up a small jukebox to play a few of the games songs.
Easter Egg?
The Easter egg is only available in the Spear of
Destiny game. Go to the "Change View" menu,
size the view window down and press
enter. Quickly hold the I & D keys until you hear
strange music.
