Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Hints
PC Cheat Codes
There's no console of any sort, so the only way to get the game's cheat codes to work is to edit the configuration settings file of the profile that you're playing under.
Use Windows Explorer or a similar program to look at your hard drive in the "My Computer" section. Find the "Documents and Settings" directory and go into the "All Users\Application Data\Ubisoft" directory. There, you should see a directory called "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory". In it is a "Profiles" directory with subdirectories for each profile. Choose the one you want to use cheats with and double-click on its config file to open it in Microsoft Notepad (it'll have the same name as the profile, and will say that its type is "Configuration Settings" when you point at it).
Scroll down to the [Engine.Input] section and find some empty key assignments. For instance, F2 through F4 are unused, so you could set them up to be cheats by putting in valid cheat codes from the list below. For example:
F2=invincible
F3=invisible
F4=fly
Here are some general cheats that you can assign to keypresses:
* invincible - (toggle) you can't be harmed by enemy fire * invisible - (toggle) enemies can't see you or shoot at you, but can hear you and go on alert * fly - allows you to float around areas, but you can't aim or equip/unequip weapons * walk - cancels fly mode * health - restores you to full health * ammo - refills the current weapon's ammo clip
The following summon codes put various items on the ground right in front of you. To pick them up, unequip your weapon and then use the Interaction key when the item registers. Don't try to summon up more than one of any type of ammo before picking it up, or it'll get all screwy.
