So I'm working on a relatively simple cheat menu for the Xbox, and though I can get the "Cheats" menu item to appear in the pause menu, it won't actually push the cheats screen when you activate it. I'm not sure what I'm missing, so here's what I've got:

ingame.req game_interface.lua ifs_pausemenu.lua ifs_cheats.lua

I don't think it matters but in game_interface, load the cheats screen before the pause menu screen.

I'd prefer it if people didn't use the exact same functions that are included in v1.3, such as uf_changeClassProperties(). Instead, you could say v1.3 is required and simply call the function. If one didn't want v1.3 required, then at least rename the function so they aren't conflicting/overwriting each other if the player did have it installed. Err, I guess this is for the XBox which doesn't have v1.3 so it really doesn't matter in this case. But I'm not going to delete this message so as to allow others to read it.

Put print statements everywhere. Put them at the start and end of ifs_cheats.lua, before and after creating the ifs_cheats screen, in ifs_cheat's entering and exiting screen functions, and in ifs_pausemenu before the 'pressed current button' if statement and then inside the 'pressed cheat's button' section. Those will tell you if the game is actually entering and exiting the cheats screen. If it is, then the screen's display code is messed up. If not, then something is wrong with building the screen.

Another way to check would be to make the cheats button load a different screen and make a known working button attempt to load the cheats screen.

Look over ifs_pausemenu.lua again. I think you should add in the basic Update function and an Exit function that clears the current button.

The above suggestions are my quick thoughts. I didn't extensively walk-through the code.

Sorry, I know I've told a few people that I was going to be modding all this month, but I have yet to do any of that. Looking for a place to live is taking longer than expected. I'll be done that within a week, but then I have to actually move and start my first long term, full-time job in early July...

Not to worry, this is console-specific, so it won't break any compatibility. Anyways, I'm not sure what I did but it fixed it. I just started with a fresh common/ingame.lvl and hexed in the munged files.
