WING COMMANDER/PRIVATEER
CHEAT GUIDE

FOR BEING INVULNERABLE AND KEEPING YOUR NAME:

Turn invulnerability off. Edit the wingcmdr.cfg (for Wing Commander 1) and wc2.cfg (WC2). They should contain this:
-k -b

Now play the game and you should be invulnerable and keep your name.

TO ENABLE CHEATS TYPE THE FOLLOWING AT THE DOS PROMPT IN THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTORY…

NOTE: It is important that you capitalize the "O" on "Origin" and leave the rest in lowercase. The games are case-sensitive.

For Wing Commander I, at the DOS prompt type:
WC Origin -k

For The Secret Missions, type:
SM Origin -k

For Secret Missions 2: Crusade, type:
SM2 Origin -k

For Wing Commander II, type:
WC2 Origin -k

For Special Operations 1, type:
SO Origin -k

For Special Operations 2, type:
SO2 Origin -k

NOTE: This now activates "cheating mode" (also known as "debugmode") in the simulation portions of the game and automatically makes you invincible to damage.

During spaceflight:

WHAT TO PRESS / WHAT THIS DOES

Hold ALT and press DEL - Destroys any targeted ship
Hold ALT, SHIFT, and press DEL - Destroys ALL enemy ships on radar

TO ENABLE CHEATS TYPE THE FOLLOWING AT THE DOS PROMPT IN THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTORY…

Type:
WC3 -MITCHELL

NOTE: Unlike the WC1&2 codes, -MITCHELL only enables the cheating mode, not giving you invincibility. I recommend enabling the invincibility option from the Options Menu (using the built-in invincibility option does not hurt your progress in any way, unlike the original Privateer does).
NOTE: While your ship is prepping for flight you will hear "Mitchell!" being screamed out. This confirms that the cheat has been activated.

During spaceflight:

WHAT TO PRESS / WHAT THIS DOES

Hold ALT and press W - Destroys any targeted ship
Hold ALT, CTRL, and press W - Destroys ALL enemy ships on radar

TO ENABLE CHEATS TYPE THE FOLLOWING AT THE DOS PROMPT IN THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTORY…

Type:
WC4 -CHICKEN

NOTE: Like WC3, -CHICKEN only enables cheating mode. You are not invincible.

During spaceflight:

WHAT TO PRESS / WHAT THIS DOES

Hold ALT and press W - Destroys any targeted ship
Hold ALT, CTRL, and press W - Destroys ALL enemy ships on radar

TYPE THE FOLLOWING DURING GAMEPLAY...

WHAT TO TYPE / WHAT THIS DOES

goodtarget - Type during spaceflight to change the targeting mode in the cockpit to one similar to that used on the turrets.
dynomite - The standard debug mode/cheat code. Type during spaceflight. After typing in ‘dynomite’ in the cockpit, hit CTRL C to turn on/off collisions. Hit CTRL I to toggle invulnerability (it will still register as invulnerability when you complete a mission, and you will be docked for it) and CTRL F12 to destroy whatever you have targeted. Enabling ‘dynomite’ in simulation mission #2 also adds another waypoint of enemy fighters.
moretunes - Enable the ‘radio,’ which allows you to select individual Cobalt 60 or Orchestral tracks during spaceflight. Type during spaceflight.
alswantsmoreships - Type at the simulator mission selection screen, and then follow the on-screen commands to allow yourself to fly enemy ships in the simulated missions. Includes the Dralthi, Vaktoth, Devil Ray and both types of Mantas and Morays.

Though there are no cheats accessible in Privateer and its expansion pack (using the built-in invincibility option available in the game automatically causes you to fail whatever mission you're on), the following program can make Privateer as easy (or challenging) as you want.

PREDIT 2.1 - Use this utility to change anything in your saved games from giving your ship Class-11 shield levels to adding as many credits as you could possibly want, plus instant Steltek cannons (as many as your ship can wield). All aspects can be changed. Pkunzip and copy this file into a separate directory, then copy saved games from your Privateer directory over to alter them (make a backup), then copy them back when changed as desired.
Refer to the readme documents within the .ZIP for further information.
