Damn, can you image how it feels when you've spent *five* *whole* *days* of your holidays to climb to the top of Angelwatch (LotP), and weeks later you discover "elevatoring" which makes all that effort obsolete? :p

Thanks.

New version of the console guide. Finally figured out how the "run" command works. It can be used to run a script of game commands. For example, a script that draws the blackjack and the compass if available in the mission, or otherwise selects no item or no weapon:



Save this script in the Thief folder (with the .exe file) under the name "ready_blackjack_and_compass" (or whatever name you like).

Then add a binding to user.bnd to bind it to a key, for example:



Now pressing 'h' in the game resets the readied equipment to a useful default that does not increase your visibility, hamper your speed or risks accidentally using equipment.

Note 1: Unfortunately, only "game commands" according to the guide can be used in the scripts (marked with G in the list), controls do not work (marked with C).

If you find a "C" type control that is marked as "G" in the list or vice versa, please tell me.

Note 2: Configuration settings cannot be changed directly either. Although the "set" command is useable, it's effects become only active only after pausing the game and returning to it (like showing the map or the menu). Maybe there's a way that I haven't found yet.

Note 3: I've neither tested using the "run" nor the "bind" command from a script.

Note 4: As in the above example script, some commands that are actually toggles have a "permanent" effect. For example, if a script contains the command "inv_select blackjack" it toggles drawing a weapon to "on". That means that every time you open the map screen and go back to the game, the blackjack will be drawn, even if you sheathed it with another key. To counter this, use the command twice. This will draw the blackjack immediately and disable future re-drawing. Just try it, I've not got much experience with that yet.
