Advanced cheat script for “PainKiller” video game series

PainKiller Advanced Cheats

Description

“PainKiller Advanced Cheats” (shortly “PainCheats”, or “PKCheats”) is a cheat script for “PainKiller” video game series.

The latest version of “PainCheats” contains 138 console cheat commands for the single-player game mode (see the full list in the CheatList.txt file):

• all of the original cheats;
• cheats disabled in the retail version of the game;
• most of the cheats from “Powermad” cheat script, originally created by Wayne Marsh a.k.a. fleabay and later developed by Peter Kuhn a.k.a. kalme;
• cheats developed by fans and published on various “PainKiller” forums;
• and lots and lots of exclusive cheats.

Most of them have been modified and/or bug fixed.

“PainCheats” is compatible with all currently existing and possibly with future versions of the game.

“PainCheats” can be installed into any official and unofficial editions, demos, add-ons, mods and ports of “PainKiller” that use “PainEngine” video game engine (e.g., “PainKiller: Battle out of hell” by “People Can Fly”, “PainKiller: Overdose” by “Mindware”, etc.).

“PainCheats” can also be installed into “PainKiller: Hell wars” video game developed by “People Can Fly” for “Xbox Original” video game console that uses slightly modified version of “PainEngine”.

“PainCheats” can not be installed into “PainKiller: Hell & Damnation” by “The Farm 51” that uses “Unreal Engine 3” video game engine.

“PainCheats” is compatible with other cheat scripts (e.g., “Powermad”).

“PainCheats” can be ported to “NecroVisioN” video game by “The Farm 51” that uses “NecroEngine” video game engine, based on “PainEngine”. Feel free to fork this project to port it for “NecroVisioN”. The good project name might be “NecroVisioN Advanced Cheats” (shortly “NecroCheats”, or “NVNCheats”). ;)

How to install

1. Go to the game folder. You'll see Bin and Data folders inside.

2. Go to the Data folder and create an empty LScripts folder inside.

⚠️ Without this step the next step will not work.

3. Unpack /Data/LScripts.pak archive into the /Data/LScripts folder. To do this, go to the Bin folder and run the main executable file with the following parameters.

⚠️ The name of the main executable file may be different (e.g. Overdose.exe).

PainKiller.exe -script FS.ExtractPack('../Data/LScripts.pak','../Data/LScripts')

4. Copy AdvancedCheats.lua file into the /Data/LScripts folder.

5. Open /Data/LScripts/Loader.lua file in text editor and add the following line to the end of file:

DoFile(path.."AdvancedCheats.lua")

6. Optionally, pack /Data/LScripts folder back to /Data/LScripts.pak archive:

PainKiller.exe -script FS.CreatePack('../Data/LScripts.pak','../Data/LScripts')

⚠️ For “Xbox Original” video game console (“PainKiller: Hell wars” video game) you should disable file compression:

PainKiller.exe -script FS.CreatePack('../Data/LScripts.pak','../Data/LScripts',false)
