Cheat Mode
To access the game's cheat mode, press "Enter" at any time during the game to bring up a communication window. You'll now be able to input various cheat codes. And unlike some games, "Black Thorn" doesn't penalize you for using its cheat codes to gain advantages in the game.
Invincibility
Certain cheat codes allow your character or team to become immune to damage. Opening up the communication window and typing the cheat code "avatargod" makes your selected character invincible, while the cheat code "teamed" grants invincibility to the entire team, making you part of an unstoppable military force.
Invisibility
The game also has cheat codes to render your character or team invisible to the enemy. Typing the cheat code "theshadowknows" allows you to enter invisible mode. If you'd like to make your entire team invisible, use the "teamshadow" cheat code. Or, for a similar result, use the cheat code "nobrainer" to disable the computer AI, making your enemies confused, easy targets.
Shooting
A few of the game's cheat codes affect your shooting. Entering the code "5fingerdiscount" refills your ammunition. If you're finding it too difficult killing enemies, use the "wounddead" cheat code, which turns even wounding shots into automatic kills. And if all else fails, the cheat code "death" causes you to commit suicide.
Humorous Effects
Some cheat codes provide the game with a comedic twist. For instance, entering the cheat code "silentbutdeadly" causes your character to fart whenever he walks. Using the "1-900" code makes your character breathe heavily like an obscene phone caller. Entering the code "clodhopper" gives your character enormous hands and feet. The cheat code "bignoggin" gives your character a big head, while the code "meganoggin" inflates his head to maximum proportions.
Maps
The game includes more than a dozen map codes. The code "levelmaps" draws all level maps, while "drawplan" allows you to map out your plan. Entering the code "threatawarenesscolors" draws a map in threat awareness colors to indicate potential trouble spots. Or the code "psychstatecolors" maps the AI's psychological state, providing you with valuable intelligence.
