How to make LCS go into debug mode if it has one?
« on: April 15, 2013, 05:17:06 pm »

I want to make LCS go into Debug Mode, I've heard about it and I've heard that you can easily change the stats on it, but I haven't seen anything about turning it into Debug Mode, I need help!

Unfortunate letdown: LCS doesn't have a debug mode. You can't put in any cheat code to enable it, you can't hack the game to turn it on, there's literally no code for a debug mode in the game's program file.

What you may have heard about is that it's possible for a developer, when compiling the game, to enable certain debug settings. For example, there are debug settings that will make the founder always start with a massive amount of internal organ damage, or make extra text show up on various screens giving a behind-the-scenes look at how the game is rolling the results of various skill and ability checks. But again, these aren't in the released game. There's no way for a player to turn them on.

As far as changing stats goes, I don't believe there are any debug settings, even ones exposed only to developers, that allow you to do that. You might be able to edit a save file to accomplish that though.

There are. The source code's includes.h seems to have some commented #defines that can be un-commented for debugging.
