Yes, it supports multiplayer. You can also select 5 char (2 women, 3 men), each have different attributes (accuracy, hp, speed). Here's the file (I got it from the net): Rise of the Triad - By Apogee Games Compleat Cheat Codes Reverse Engineered by Poker Face A Three Card Monte Club Presentation v.1.3 April 10, 1995 Includes 1.2 codes and Commercial Game Codes [ [_[ [[ [[ [[] ^[[ [[[] ^[[[ [[[[ [[[[ [[[[] ^[[[[ [[[[[] ^[[[[[ [[[[[[[\\\[[[[[[[ [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ [[[[[_[[[[[[[[[_[[[[[ [[[[_ _[[[[[_ _[[[[ [[[_ \[[[[[[[\ _[[[ [[_ \\[[[[[[[[[[[\\ _[[ [[_\\[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[\\_[[ [[\[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[\[[ _________________________________ Rise of the Triad, also known as ROTT, is certainly Apogee's greatest achievement yet. It's full of surprises, has mind blowing graphics and sound, and in my opinion is worth every dime Apogee asks for the registered version. However, it's not for the sensitive or younger player. Young people under 14 should not play this game due to its explicit, occasionally gory violence. However, for the mature player looking for a howlin' blast-fest, this is a terrific game! Register the game! This file contains a complete list of cheat codes for ROTT. Most of the cheats have two codes; one is a normal word and the other is a three letter acronym preceded with a "\" backslash. Either cheat code has the same effect. A note about ROTT powerups: There can be two powerups active at a time. They are displayed at the top of the screen a little to the right of center. There are two "groups" of powerups; you can have one powerup from each group active, but powerups from the same group will override one another. For example, if you have bulletproof armor, activating a gas mask or asbestos armor will replace the bulletproof armor. In addition, most of the advanced weapons are exclusive. You can have one or two pistols (dual pistols look great but an MP40 is better), and an MP40 submachine gun, and ONLY ONE OF: bazooka, heatseeker, drunk missile, firebomb, flame wall, or the "Hand of God". There are a few more weapons available in the registered version too. Hit 1 to select the pistol, 2 to select dual pistols, 3 for the MP40 and 4 for the advanced weapon. In order to use any of the cheat keys, you have to first enable the cheats by typing DIPSTICK while in the game. Typing it again will disable cheat keys. After you've enabled cheat keys, I suggest first using the CHOJIN cheat code. It will make you invulnerable to enemies and hazards such as moving walls and spinning blades. However, no cheat code will save you from dying if you jump off the edge of the game. I am fairly certain that this is a complete listing of cheat codes. They are all grouped in one place in the ROTT.EXE file and are easy to find there. Without further ceremony, here they are. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Cheat Code: DIPSTICK Also: \ECC This toggles (enables and disables) all the rest of the cheat keys. Without cheat keys toggled on, none of the other cheats in this file can work! Cheat Code: CHOJIN Also: \WWW This puts you in "Woundless With Weapons" mode. It has two effects. It makes you invulnerable to enemy fire and the various hazards of the game. It also gives you unlimited ammunition for all your weapons, no matter which weapons you happen to be using! This should be the first cheat code you use if you plan to cruise through the game. Cheat Code: GOTO Also: \GTL This selects a new level. You get a nice menu to select the level of your choice. Cheat Code: SIXTOYS Also: \GAI No. Not SEXTOYS. Get your mind out of the gutter. This appears to give you all four keys and a bulletproof armor. The message "Items-A-Plenty" confirms this cheat code. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The following are "Type 1" powerups - selecting one of these will cancel another Type 1 powerup in use. Cheat Code: TOOSAD Also: \GOD This puts you in God mode. This is not the same as the God mode of previous Apogee games; this mode is truly neat! Your height increases by about six feet - you look down on your enemies as if they were children. And your weapon is the Hand of God - the most powerful weapon in the game, it is a "smart" weapon that kills many enemies at once. Cheat Code: FLYBOY Also: \MER Here's another great cheat. This lets you fly! No more bouncing up to ledges or negotiating complicated catwalks! Using it is like flapping wings - you have to keep hitting the space bar (or the joytick/mouse button defined as the "Use" button) to stay aloft. Cheat Code: BADTRIP Also: \SHR This cheat code is rather crippling, but it is a testament to the imagination of the authors. It's called "Shrooms" mode, and basically it's a bad drug trip! The whole room swoons and rocks, and enemies are just colored silhouettes! Good luck aiming that MP40! Cheat Code: BOING Also: \ELA This is another somewhat negative cheat, but it's also interesting. You have no inertia, the floor offers no friction, and the walls are perfectly elastic! At the slightest movement, including a hit from an enemy or recoil from your weapons, you start bouncing around almost uncontrollably! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Cheat Code: GOOBERS Also: \GOO This restarts the game. Cheat Code: WHACK Also: \OOF You take a hit point. "Ouch!!!!" Cheat Code: SPEED Also: \RFA This turns on auto-run mode. When you move while the Shift key is pressed, you are in "run" mode, and your movement is twice as fast. You also have twice as much momentum. This cheat code puts you in run mode full time. The Caps Lock key has the same effect. Cheat Code: PANIC Also: \PAN This resets you to basically just a pistol, no keys, no armor or powerups. "Back to normal. Ah." Cheat Code: DIMON Also: \DON This turns on "light diminishing" - the property of the game in which objects appear dimmer when they are further away, especially in low light. This is normally on anyway. The game looks more realistic in this mode. Cheat Code: DIMOFF Also: \DOF This turns light diminishing off. Cheat Code: LONDON Also: \FON This turns on "Fog Mode" - the scene looks as though there's a light fog. This is actually on by default in one level. Cheat Code: NODNOL Also: \FOF This turns "Fog Mode" off. Cheat Code: SHINEON Also: \SON This turns on "light sourcing" - the property where light-producing objects such as lamps, torches etc. appear to be the source of some or all the light in the area. The game looks more realistic with this on. This is normally on. Cheat Code: SHINEOFF Also: \SOF This tuns light sourcing off. Cheat Code: GOGATES Also: \L8R This takes you back to DOS without any further ado. Very fast. Cheat Code: GOARCH Also: \ECL This lets you "wuss out" on a level. It's like you completed the level except that the game tells you you've wussed out and gives you a whatever bonuses you've already earned for the level, before going on to the next level. Cheat Code: GOTA386 Also: \CON This turns off the cielings and floors, leaving them solid color. Apparently this is the normal mode when the game runs on 386 machines. Cheat Code: GOTA486 Also: \COF This turns on the cielings and floors. Since I have only tested the game on a 486, I have no idea what will happen if you enable this on a 386. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 The following are "Type 2" powerups - selecting one of these 3 will cancel another Type 2 powerup in use. 3 3 Cheat Code: SHOOTME Also: \BAR 3 3 This gives you "bulletproof armor", making you 3 invulnerable to projectile weapons. 3 3 3 Cheat Code: BURNME Also: \FAR 3 3 This gives you "asbestos armor", making you invulnerable 3 to fire traps such as the floor flamejets. 3 3 3 Cheat Code: LUNGDUNG Also: \GAR 3 3 This gives you a gas mask, saving you from poison gas 3 (where everything looks green). This is kind of cool 3 because it looks like you're looking through a gas mask! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Cheat Code: HUNTPACK Also: \OFP "Outfit Player". This gives you four keys, a bulletproof armor and a bazooka! Cheat Code: 86ME Also: \DIE Feeling suicidal? This will kill you. Cheat Code: REEN Also: \REL This re-starts (or, RE-ENters) the current level. Cheat Code: JOHNWOO Also: \GW2 This gives you dual pistols! You get two shots every time you fire, and it's reminiscent of watching an old western, except it's in the first person! Cheat Code: PLUGEM Also: \GW3 This gives you an MP40, a submachine gun with a decent rate of fire. Although this is not the most powerful weapon in the game, I find it the most murderously satisfying. Cheat Code: VANILLA Also: \GW4 This gives you a bazooka, which is a straightforward single-shot rocket launcher. It's a good basic anti-personnel weapon if you don't mind being splattered with the body parts of your victims... Cheat Code: HOTTIMES Also: \GW6 This gives you a heat-seeking missile. It's good for fire-and-forget killing without making much effort to aim it, but it can be distracted by heat sources, such as torches. Cheat Code: BOOZE Also: \GW7 This gives you a Drunk Missile, which fires several rockets at once. The rockets generally travel forward but their flight is erratic and their exact target is never known. This is usually not a problem; at least one of the rockets will likely hit what you aimed at. Cheat Code: FIREBOMB Also: \GW5 This gives you a Fire Bomb, which launches an incendiary cluster bomb. Quite devastating, definitely not for use in close quarters! Cheat Code: BONES Also: \GW8 This gives you a Flame Wall ("You Filched a Flame Wall!") which is a sort of upgraded Fire Bomb. It creates an wall of flame which takes out everything in its path, turning human enemies into skeletal cinders! Cheat Code: SEEYA Also: \GWC (v1.1: \GW9) This gives you the Hand of God - it's the weapon from God Mode, but you don't grow in height. Since this is a weapon choice and not a powerup, it doesn't "expire" after a short while like God Mode. The Hand of God is really neat; it vaporizes most enemies and can take out several at once. For a fun time, enable both this and "ride" mode (see below)! (Note: In version 1.1, this just puts you in God mode, i.e. it expires just like the TOOSAD cheat) Cheat Code: RIDE Also: \CAM This toggles the "Missile Cam", so that each time you fire a projectile weapon, your view follows the missile until it hits! This is usually more of a distraction than a useful feature but if you're using the Hand of God, it can be quite nifty! Cheat Code: WHERE Also: \HUD This toggles the Heads Up Display, which is a set of numbers, presumably giving your gamefield co-ordinates, in the upper right corner. Cheat Code: \FUN I am not sure what the purpose of this is. It appears to lock or pause the computer until you hit the Escape key. Cheat Code: RECORD This lets you record a demo! Just type this and the game will ask what level you want to start from, then just start playing. Cheat Code: STOP When you are recording a demo, this "stops" the recording, and prompts you for a demo slot in which to save the demo. Cheat Code: PLAY This plays back a demo you have recorded! Cheat Code: \EKG (1.1 and up only) Cheat Code: MAESTRO Also: \LEE (1.1 and up only) This lets you change the background music. There is a lot of really good music in the game - with this keey you needn't tire of it so quickly! Cheat Code: CARTIER Also: \MAP (1.1 and up only) This reveals all areas in the map - including secrets! Cheat Code: CUJO Also WOOF or \GWD or \DOG This puts you in "Dog Mode". This mode is only available in the registered or commercial version of the game. It's kinda trippy; you're two feet tall, you see only your canine nose where your weapon was, and you've got one vicious bite - two attacks is usually enough to turn most enemies into a pile of meat! You're also invulnerable, much as in God mode. Also available in Dog Mode is the "Bark Blast" which is activated by holding the Fire key or button down for a few seconds. The dog will start barking, progressively higher until next thing you know, any baddies in front of you are Ludicrous Gibs candidates! Note also that this is a "Type 1" powerup. It will override God, Mercury, and other powerups if they are active. Cheat Code: HOMERUN Also \GWC Your weapon is the Excalibat! According to the commercial docs, the Oscuridos were making a magic staff, and when they needed a piece of wood, all they could find was a Louisville Slugger (the bat actually has "Louisville, KY" on the label). This is normally a close-quarters weapon which is much more deadly than it appears. Like Dog Mode, this weapon has a "secret" power. Hold down the fire key or button for a few seconds and the "Excaliblast" fires dozens of very lethal exploding baseballs in all directions! A great room-cleaner! Unfortunately, this great weapon is only available in the paid-for version. However, Excaliblast alone is worth the price of admission! Cheat Code: KESOFDEATH Also \GWB This gives you the "Dark Staff", a powerful weapon that, frankly, is overrated by the commercial docs. Sure, it can take out a Deathfire Monk in one hit, but an Excaliblast will take out a roomful in two or three; this weapon won't. However, it will prove useful to you when you go after Oscuro himself; he laughs at conventional missile weapons. This is also a registered-only weapon. Cheat Code: SPLIT Also \GWA This gives you the "Split Missile." What it does is fire in a straight line until you let go of the fire key/button. Then they split off at a 45 degree angle and heat-seek to two targets (if present). This is also a registered-only feature. Cheat Code: SLACKER Also \BUM This is the only cheat code mentioned in the registered docs - even the CHOJIN and DIPSTICK codes in the shareware docs are not mentioned in the registered game! It gives you hit points, keys, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Other useful keys: F11 - changes the "gamma correction" level. This can be used to quickly brighten a dark scene. F12 - Apogee says this is a "Boss Key", putting up a fake screen to fool your boss, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Miraculously, however, I'm still employed ;-) Tab - Activates a level map, showing all the areas you have entered. Caps Lock - toggles Auto-Run mode. Backspace - Does an "about-face" , (command) strafe left . (period) strafe right 0 on numeric keypad: When in Woundless With Weapons mode, this key toggles between the weapons: Pistol, Two Pistols, MP-40, etc. on up to the Hand of God (or up to Dog Mode if you bought the game). In version 1.1+ of the game, this is the only way to use the Hand of God as a weapon without the expiring God mode powerup!
