Carrier Command: Gaea Mission Message Board  

You put the patch02.pak file in the same directory as your carrier.exe? That should be all it takes. For Steam that's usually

Steam\steamapps\common\Carrier Command Gaea Mission

When you press the keys do any messages appear? It should print some text to the screen (like when it does when you're under attack) saying "filled stockpile"/etc.

thanks crayo good work

Any idea what they did to update it today?

The new/updated cheat mod has a new feature that instantly docks all of your units. The Readme has been updated a bit too with a little more info. Here's the section about the new feature:

Press / (forward slash, between . and right shift)

Instant Dock all units. All of your mantas and walruses should instantly return to your carrier and be docked.

In my testing, this worked even when vehicles were in transit/moving and would cancel any orders they had been given.

Be careful if you press this while the docking/undocking animation is playing you can get some strange behavior (but game should still work and you can just re-undock vehicle).

yea, I placed it in the proper place (otherwise it would not have worked at all)

when i clicked on ], i got a message about the stock pile, and 5000 meterials, the other 2 key presses gave me no such message.

Plus, my ~ key doesnt respond w/ the fake patch. wonder if there's something to do with the keyboard layout in windows/game, but if that was the case, you'd think a few more people would have the same issue. Im running Win7Ult 64bit, in the US w/ English (US) keyboard layout if that helps

edit
after downloading the new one, here's what I get:
\ = Carrier was Filled up
] = Stockpile was filled up, 5000 meterals was added
/ = all units insta-docked
[ = nothing

That is really odd ... yes, it probably has something to do with keyboard layouts ... Here are the actual hex keycodes being used ... maybe that can help you test if another key on your keyboard matches that code.

Instant Dock - KC_SLASH - 0x35

Fill stockpile - KC_LBRACKET - 0x1a

Fill carrier - KC_RBRACKET - 0x1b

Invincibility - KC_BACKSLASH - 0x2b

BTW I have Win7 64 with US/English keyboard layout as well, so that's pretty odd.

I chose those hotkeys since I was trying to avoid conflicts with keys used in the game and avoid keys usually used by trainers (numpad). I could maybe change them to F keys.

If you have Python installed you can try changing the keys without waiting on me if you get the CarrierTools python script. You can use CarrierTools to unpack the patch02.pak file, then open scripts/ccgame.c and do a search for KC_SLASH, that should get you to the section with the modded code (around line 7647).

If you need a list of the keycodes you can unpack the data02.cc file and look in scripts/keys.h

(edit) - Quick question just to rule out a possibility, do you have any utilities/programs that remap keys or do macros or anything?

[Edited by crayo, 12/27/2012 1:54:22 PM]

Nope, I have a G19 that can make macros on 12 set keys, but you can't do anything w/ the others. what's odd now is that when I remove the fake patch, and try again, the `(~) key still doesn't work. so Im not sure if that part was caused by the fake patch or not. even after deleting the ccsettings.xml in both locations its found, still doesnt work. I went ahead and posted on BI's fourms about the ` key, hopefully they'll beable to help me figure out why the keyboard layouts messed up. I've got those tools already, just havn't used them yet. I'll poke around a few more in my settings before i dig in to the script

tested my keyboard with Passmark's keyboard tester, and it looks like its working properly. Link can you test yours and tell me if your Windows Key code matches your Bios Key code? as my bios keys match whats listed in that file, however my windows key does not

Ok, that program I have AT107 in the top left (I'm guessing detected keyboard type) and Lang Code 00000409. Looks like my bios codes match but not the windows codes, same as you described.

Pressing / gives 0xbf for windows and 0x35 for bios

Pressing [ gives 0xdb for windows and 0x1a for bios

Pressing ] gives 0xdd for windows and 0x1b for bios

Pressing \ gives 0xdc for windows and 0x2b for bios

Since you were having issues with `~ FYI I get

0xc0 for windows and 0x29 for bios


Seems strange that you're getting such peculiar behavior from the mod. I'd be interested to know how it reacts if the hotkeys are changed. I'll PM you and we can arrange something for testing.
