XCOM: Enemy Unknown Message Board  

Regarding the Trainer, Modify Health, Offense, Defense, Wi....

I was wondering if the 2nd Wave Expansion causes the trainer not to work. The trainer work perfectly prior to adding that expansion. Just wondering if anyone was having the same problem?

Possibly, yes. Neither the trainer nor the editor seem to do anything for me anymore. Is there a workaround or some trick?

I understand why the CH folks would stop updating trainers for this game, given the fits it's given them and all. Unfortunate, but c'est la vie.

I'm also having the same problem, just reinstalled the game to play it through again. Now, when I select what I want to modify on the trainer, I hear "activated", but when I try to add or subtract, I hear "deactivated" before "activated", and nothing happens. Guess the trainer needs another update. Anyone know if they still plan on doing so?

Yeah, I'm getting that too. I figured the expansion nullified the present trainer.

What expansion are you talking about? The 'Second Wave' options have been available in the game since launch, you just had to modify a file to get them in. All they did was re-enable them. I wouldn't call that an expansion. The only expansion to this game hasn't been released yet: Enemy Within.

I just got through playing for about 4 hours on a currently updated XCOM, and the trainer works perfectly fine. Are you sure you're following the instructions properly? One of the recent updates to XCOM made it so you have to jump through hoops to get it to work properly, but I promise you it still does. I've been able to modify all stats, both on and off the battle field. I haven't messed with gold, because I use CoSMOS to hack that. I think adding too many engineers/scientists too early in the game sort of kills the length of enjoyment of the game, so I don't mess with that, either.

Well, if it's working perfectly for you. How about sharing what hoops you needed to jump through to get that to happen?

We're not accusing here, just wondering what's up.

I had forgotten how the trainer worked from the last time I played.

The "trick" is the following ie. to give health/hp:

1: Activate the trainer via F1
2: Numpad1 for health
3: Use the "tab" button to select next soldier.
4: Numpad * or + to add health/hp.

It works on the next soldier in the line. The one you tab'ed to.

However I just noticed that it started downloading a rather large new update. Presumably for the new expansion pack so maybe it won't work now.
