darkredshift: After enabling the cheats I find that a few of the full codes don't work and none of the short codes work (with the possible exception of \EKG) I am using the backslash key but it does nothing.

I thought that DOS keyboards had a different layout but I don't know.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER ME THIS TIME? I've asked about this problem several times before and all those times no-one even answered my post, let alone gave me a solution.

EDIT: this post and some others that haven't been answered aren't even appearing in the forum, but they are in my list of favourite topics and received replies which implies that only I am able to see them.

This is very poor customer service and I am not impressed. >:(

EDIT AGAIN: While I'm still pissed at the fact my most recent posts aren't appearing, I have solved my own problem by tedious faffing around with the keyboard.

The backslash key needed in ROTT Dark War is # and not \ due to keyboard differences like I thought.

PedroUK: Thanks for sharing your issue - and the solution!

I had the same thing but thanks to you I can now switch on the cheats. It never entered my head to check the keyboard layout... I just presumed something was broken in DOSBox.

Again, thanks. :)

PedroUK: Yeah, as much as I like ROTT '13 it is missing the charm of the original. The absurd nature of the cheats and level design just isn't quite the same in a modern engine. As for broken levels, it is a bit of a shame but at least they finally got the game running at a reasonable speed!

I'm kinda hoping that they'll do something around Christmas time with the game... I remember a while back there was talk of some 'ultimate pack' in the works but I've heard little since. There's obviously life in the game yet as evidenced with the fairly recent release of the remastered soundtrack and the addition of that into the game.

You never know what's round the corner, I suppose. :)

Just wish there was a little more attention given to the original ROTT - I'd love to see them make a new official ampset set akin to what Id allowed with No Rest for the Living a few years ago. Here's hoping!
