Call of Juarez Mods & Ends

Introduction

There are lots of games that are moddable - but Call of Juarez allows anyone with a little Java know-how, some patience and a few free tools to experiment and get their feet wet without the commitment other games call for.

I decided to try my hand at it by extending the simplest feature Call of Juarez has - the Cheat system.

Installation

Installing the new Cheat class requires a little bit of preparation that will also make it easier to add future Cheat or other game modifications in the future.

Here's what you do:

• Open your Call of Juarez installation folder; it is usually something like:
  
  C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Techland\Call of Juarez\
  
  
• Create a folder called Java inside of the Call of Juarez folder
• Locate the file code.pak and rename it to code.zip
• Unzip code.zip into the new Java folder
• Do not rename code.zip back; leave it just like it is

OK, now you're ready to install the new Cheat mod:

• Download the Cheat mod's ZIP file here (Current version: 1.0 2006-10-28)
• Unzip the mod into the Java folder

Using the mod

Start Call of Juarez as usual, then bring up (down?) the console using the ` or ~ key.
All of the cheats are invoked by typing Cheat.NameOfCheat() and pressing Enter.

Weapons:

• GiveBow()
• GiveWhip()
• GiveWinchester()
• GiveWinchesterScope()
• GiveRemington()
• GiveRemingtonSawOff()
• GiveCogswell()
• GiveDerringer()
• GiveFrontier()
• GiveLemant()
• GivePeacemaker()
• GiveSchofield()
• GiveVolcanic()
• GiveWalker()

Weather:

• Lightning(flag)
  A 0 or 1 for flag turns lightning and thunder off or on.

Menus:

• ShowCheatMenu()
  Warning! Using this menu can turn on a debugging visualization mode that cannot be turned off. If you save a game with it on, it stays on!
  
  
• ShowActionsMenu()
  Activates 'Actions' associated with a particular map. Try them out to see what happens!

AI:

• FreezeAI()
• ThawAI()
  
  FreezeAI() will stop the NPCs in the game dead in their tracks, at least until a module "activates" them again!

Other:

• AllSecrets() - Reveals all 40 secrets
• SetSpeed(speed) - This sets the overall rate at which the game runs. Speed values can be from about 0.01 to 500
• Version() - Shows the mod's version number and author's website info. Newer versions may be released; check back from time to time.
