  3. File Editing Cheats

    These cheats involve editing a game file, so create a backup copy of the file before trying the cheats. Use a text editor (Wordpad, Notepad) to edit the ''user.cfg'' file in the Thief 2 directory.

    Get away with murder:
    Enter ''cheats_active'' on a new line, then enter ''nokillgoalcheat'' on the next line. You can now kill people even if the goals tell you not to.

    All locks unlocked:
    Enter ''cheats_active'' on a new line, then enter ''lockcheat'' on the next line. Almost all locked locks will be unlocked.

    Expert mode:
    Enter ''cheats_active'' on a new line, the enter one or more the following lines after it. (I'm not entirely sure about these three cheats effects).

    FailOnSee - If an enemy sees you you will fail the mission.
    FailOnKO - If you knock out an enemy you will fail the mission.
    FailOnKill - If you kill an enemy you will fail the mission.

  7. Extra Cash

    Make a save file just before finishing a mission. Complete the mission as usual, and than make another save file in a different save location. Reload the save file that was made before the mission was finish. Complete the mission again. Your money count is now double of what it should be. Repeat this if you choose so.

  8. Developer Quotes

    Get to the final mission, Sabotage at Soulforge.

    To get the quotes, you need to get 5 Combat bot boilers and 5 steel plates.

    To get the boilers, you need to disable 5 Combat bots and bash them until they break apart. Steel plates can be found in the various storage rooms.

    Get to the Rolling machine in Bay A and put in 1 boiler and 1 steel plate then active the machine. Do this for each of the five pairs. After the last pair has been placed and rolled, the scroll containing the developer quotes will appear at the end of the machine.

    Get to the code input room on the 2nd floor of the Building A. It's near the vice president's room. Input the code 7002 and read the scroll in Lord Porter's room on the 2nd floor of his warehouse.
