There are three other cheat codes in SWBF2 that have never been found. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the other three (invincibility, no HUD, and infinite ammo). I would go into more detail about how I found them, but that might be against the wesbite rules.

To enter these, go into instant action mode and move your mouse over the BF2 logo in the bottom left hand corner, type in the code, and press enter. If you did this correctly it should show a message that depends on the code. The game only allows 3 codes at once and if you want to remove them you must exit and restart the game.

Note: The codes I found aren't "official", they just "happen to work"

// cheat0
name = cheats.invincible
code = mostimpressive
hash = 0x0B9982CFF

// cheat1
name = cheats.ammo
code = agoodblasteratyourside
hash = 0x18D38F73

// cheat2
name = cheats.lowres
code = btbfod
hash = 0x2AB3AA8C

// cheat3
name = cheats.pow
code = 295mepo
hash = 0x6AFB1548

// cheat4
// note: before I knew this code had already been found, the code I found (lipxuf) shows a different message, but doesn't remove the hud
name = cheats.nohud
code = usetheforceluke
hash = 0x0B7584045

// cheat5
name = cheats.slowmo
code = abtlggd
hash = 0x84BFFE04

Here is a screenshot of my favorite code (cheats.pow)

I didn't know the code for POW but knew it was ingame; thanks!

I remember seeing the localization for these cheats, I have always been curious about them.

i knew the pow cheat was on Xbox but i didnt see anyone get it yet for pc nice find

Nice work finding the cheats for POW, it has always been thought that that only worked on the Xbox and PS2.




I have no idea what you could have done to find out these cheats that was against GT rules. I mean yes, better safe than sorry, but, I honestly cant think of anything. Unless what you did to find them out was illegal.

I was unsure if reverse engineering is against the rules, since this forum mainly discusses using the mod tools.

Anyway, here is how I did it...

Basically, when you enter a cheat code into the game, it uses an algorithm to create a hash for it. I knew these hashes had to be stored somewhere, so the first place I checked was the games executable. I found them by first getting the hash of a code I already knew, like "mostimpressive", and searching for it in the exe. Once I had found this one, I could see the other 5 hashes. Now, to get the actual codes I had to use the Hash program in the mod tools (ToolsFL\bin\Hash.exe). This tool can either create a hash of an existing string, or it can try to bruteforce an existing hash. Since the algorithm they use (FNV32A1) is prone to collisions, It didn't take much time to find a string for an unknown hash. I tested it in game and... it worked! I repeated the process for the remaining hashes and that is how I created the list.

:themoreyouknow:

Like I said, even though these codes work, they probably aren't what the developers originally hashed.

Like I said, no rules were broken.


And again, good work.

Can anyone confirm if the slowmo cheat works? I find it doesn't change anything about normal gameplay.

It does, turn on your sound.

This ^^^

What is "POW"?

i think it activates the "pow" "blammo" and so hiteffects.

^^D.U.C.K. is right; the cheat turns on some of the (hilarious) lightsaber impact effects.
