Below you will find all available cheats for the game.

NB: PC/Mac cheats can be unlocked by hacking persist.dat manually or using OniSavegameEditor

Color code

Effect description
Lime cheat applies to any character you chr_focus to (via scripting). When you chr_focus to another, the effect stays with the old one.
Fuchsia cheat applies to Konoko even if you chr_focus to another character
White cheat isn't player-character-specific
Scripting equivalent
Black no equivalent available
White exact equivalent and that's it
Fuchsia script only works for Konoko, use chr_focus and cheats for other characters
Lime script given works for Konoko, but other characters (whether you chr_focus to them or not) can be done too
Yellow no exact equivalent, extra work required

Tips to scripters

Scripting equivalents

(1) Use the chr_invincible and chr_unstoppable modifiers for generic characters.
(2) The generic chr_super modifier is the only way. Only a few characters (Konoko, Muro) have Daodan glow particles.
(1) You can use either of the generic give_powerup and chr_givepowerup modifiers.
  • give_powerup usage :
    • first two arguments are powerup type and amount (optional)
    • The third argument is the character's ID (0 by default)
  • chr_givepowerup usage :
    • first argument is the character's name or script ID (compulsory)
  • problem with reproducing the fatloot effect :
    • fatloot fills up hypos, ammos and cells to a maximum of 6
    • generally, you don't know how many of those the player already has
  • solution (if you really want to mimic fatloot exactly) :
    • take away all the player's powerups, the only way to do this being to clear the inventory, e.g. chr_inv_reset(0)
    • then use e.g. chr_givepowerup(0, hypo, 6) etc.
(2) You can use either of the generic give_powerup and chr_givepowerup modifiers (see above).
  • moonshadow is the same as taking the Phase Cloak away then doing e.g. chr_givepowerup(0, invis, -1).
  • problem with reproducing the moonshadow effect :
    • generally, you don't know how much Phase Cloak the character already has
  • solution (if you really want to mimic moonshadow exactly) :
    • drain the player's Phase Cloak with the built-in begin_cutscene(); end_cutscene(); (only affects the player)
    • or somehow make sure the character has no phase cloak
    • then use e.g. chr_givepowerup(0, invis, -1)
(3) You must use the generic chr_ultra_mode modifier on every character you want to be "ultra".
  • it doesn't seem to have any visible effect though, so don't bother :)
(4) You can use the slowmo command, or play with draw_every_frame and draw_every_frame_multiple.
  • The scripted slowmo doesn't have a permanent effect : slowmo(300) gives you 300 frames (5 seconds) of slowmo.
  • Extra work is required to make it last (implemented in Oni Menu, no wiki page yet).
(5) You must use the generic chr_changeteam modifier set to none for every single character to replicate reservoirdogs.
NO, that won't work : none and None are no valid flags for chr_changeteam. geyser

Cheat watching

  • liveforever, canttouchthis and touchofdeath can be detected at runtime by custom scripts.
  • One can then ignore the cheat or trigger a custom event (kill or hurt the cheater, etc, etc).
  • glassworld and bighead are directly detectable too
  • shapeshifter is indirectly detectable by anim watching
  • minime and behemoth are not detectable
  • Other cheats like fatloot, chenille, munitionfrenzy and moonshadow can only be made useless, not detected.

Tips to gamers

Overpower

  • chenille gives you the visual effect of Daodan overpower, but your combat moves don't deal extra damage.
  • To really stay in Daodan overpower forever, use elderrune, then use a hypo at full health.
  • Overpower drains at the rate of 1 hitpoint per second, which is exactly compensated by elderrune.
  • You're then virtually frozen in real overpower, as long as you don't get hurt. You must get past normal health to take another hypo.

Shapeshifting

  • You may not know it, but SHIFT+F8 lets you cycle the shapeshifter characters backwards. Yes, you really can go the other way.
  • I'm sorry if you cycled like mad to get to previous characters through all those years. So did I. I only found out about this today.
