Really?

Because it still works for me.

After the patch is applied, the autoexec.cfg is edited, and the line allowing for the console to be opened is removed. You'll have to put it back in so it looks exactly like:

// Startup
mainmenu
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes

The "add_xxx" cheats no longer work, the "@" ones still work. I.e. if you want to add creatures to your hero, you can't use the good old "add_army x, y", you need to type the longer "@AddHeroCreatures ("In-game-hero-name", x, y);" (x being the creature code, y the amount you want).
Another (very minor) change is that there doesn't seem to be an error message for mistyped commands anymore. My computer often added an invisible "^" at the end of the line after selecting a previous command with the arrow up key. In version 1.1 this produced an error message, in 1.2 the command merely fails.

Commands that definitely still work (tried & tested):

@AddHeroCreatures
@ChangeHeroStat
@SetPlayerResource
@OpenCircleFog
@GiveArtifact

I suppose @TeachHeroSpell should also still work, but I haven't tried it.

The #s are the same. For anyone that will, please test in single player:

@GiveHeroSkill("Name", #);

I've tried all different kinds of syntax, I've used the Hero Name chart in the online guide and I still cannot get the cheat codes to work.
I even tried using the exe to get rid of the CD check.

example;

@AddHeroCreatures ( "Tan", TITAN, 25 );

@AddHeroCreatures ("Tan", 70, 25);

@AddHeroCreatures ("Galib", 70, 25);

I've tried all kinds of variations with spaces, capitol letters, with or w/out the name chart, and have tried different @ commands even.
I cannot get these to work at all, whether I try them in a saved game or a newly created one.

After typing them in the console I get a error response something like "AddHeroCreatures Nil value" "TITAN NIL value"

I am talking about a single player game also, I know they don't work in multiplayer and have read the online guide in and out.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

AddHeroCreatures("Tan", 70, 25) ;
There is a space between name and the creature number and a space between creature number and the quantity of creatures you are trying to add and a space between the ) and ;

hope this helps.

It's always syntax, unfortunately.

The guide's codes and examples are written as functioning codes and examples--do not under any circumstances, mess with the spacing, capitalization, or punctuation.

Interestingly, there was someone who e-mailed me some time ago about the same thing--that he edited the correct file exactly as explained, and the codes, typed EXACTLY as the guide outlines, still wouldn't work. Turns out the way he configured the console to open always made the line start with a space (so I imagine it might have been spacebar to open the console). So, every code, he'd have to backspace first. I dunno if you're in the same boat.

For the above, kill the space between the closing parenthesis and the semicolon-- ); rather than ) ;

And sfidanza's not kidding! He's done an incredible job digging up a plethora of codes on his own that modders may likely get a kick out of, and so the next update will be a substantial one!
