I have no clue what I’m doing wrong. I’m on ios and the only json file I can find in the app files is allScenes.js (Lost Heir 2 and 3)
I’m convinced that lord @EmperorHeartless should just tell everyone how to cheat…

You know, that brings up an interesting design question. Should authors just hard code cheats into their game to make them potentially more fun and increase replay value? Maybe if you get a good ending you could unlock a cheat code that you can use for your next playthrough… Ok, well I just answered my own question.

@Nocturnal_Stillness game Unnatural does that. Personally, I enjoyed the feature.

If I did it, in my dream way, and knowing choicescript (which I do not) I’d have you type in an overly long narcissistic compliment to the author (or copy and paste probably) that becomes a gag unto itself.

Yeah code’s found by completing it, in game and also in another game. I think it’s fun finding them.

what about games hosted on dashingdon? do these tips still apply there-or is it even possible to cheat?
I suppose specifically the ones tetris made about working through Chrome and other web browsers, though really I’d just like to know if anything works on the dashington games
i suppose that’s a no then? alrighty
Hello Tetris, they updated chrome so that resources is now called application. I get to step 4 but I cannot edit the values. Please advise on how to do this exactly. Thank you!
Am I the only one for who the chrome editing no longer works?
I keep getting an error of ‘unexpected identifier’.
I switched to Firefox and that helped.
Can anyone help me figure out how to edit zombie exodus safe haven stats on Firefox? I found the normal edit area but either the changes don’t take effect or it crashes.
I’ve hacked ZE:SH, but a couple of things
-
the way I’ve done it, and I didn’t touch any of the .json files, means it only works on my laptop, running it as if it were a game I’ve made.
I know a few ways to fix this… but I also know It’ll take too long and won’t be worth it. -
The game is super boring hacked.

Super boring.
I’d advise you to just read through the code to see the whole story / see more stuff,
And now the hack (although it seems you can’t upload (And maybe download) saves, so might be better for standalone games, but it’s hacked so you won’t be missing out.
Get an archiver/ something like 7-zip.
Extract the stuff from the apk, copy the mygame file to whoever your mygame file is (or just copy the whole thing) and press index (as in, run the thing on your PC)
Should work, but might have to delete some shizzle like purchases.
On the topic of that, I only realise now that you (or others) might just want the hack to circumvent paying out money, either for ZE, or buying the extra points, so uh…
Don’t do that.
If creator of things get more money (I assume, upto a point) they can afford to make stuff which is higher quality, and make more stuff.
And then make more money, and the cycle of awesomeness ™ continues.
After running the thing, simply edit it like it’s your own game,
My reccomendations is to add an extra choice in the start-up to play with hacks, and if picked on checking stats (edit Choicescript_stats) set health to max, more money, food, water, money in bank, max stats, etc.
Have fun.
(For the crashes, you either might’ve done it wrong or you’ve done it right and need to delete stuff from start up. It should tell you what’s gone wrong.

Is it possible (or legal) to access the files of the games and edit the choicescript?
In my eyes, of people say ‘oh you can’t mod COG games because’
…'it’ll make it voting
Then why are guides common, which tell you what choices to make? Allow people to play games how they like
…‘They won’t earn it (or something)’
Guides let you get stuff. Reading the code gives you pretty cool stuff since you know what choices to make
…'people will distribute it’s
I do kinda agree… but people can distribute the unhacked version anyway.
It’s really simple, but people don’t do it because they know more money for Cog writes increases supply, lower future cost and better quality.
So morally, for me, hacking a game you’ve bought, for yourself, (And remembering that COGs are single player) is perfectly fine, And increases a games value.
All we need now is a thread in which people make mods for these games, like play as a zombie in ZE:SH or make totally random classes in The Fall of Daria.
Equaling Guides with Modding to prove your point is a little… reaching, isn’t it?
To write a guide you don’t have to get into the game files. Some guide writers did, but from what I’ve seen the vast majority of people who make guides, even if it is just for one achievement are people who played a game dozens of times and know what stats are affected and what choices have what outcome.
