I was forced to enable the 'undead' cheat in the user.cfg after a combat droid followed me into the respawning room. It kept killing me indefintally so I really had no choice. However, after I killed the robot and got rid of the Undead line in the config file and restarted the game, I still have god mode enabled! This severly sucks the fun and any tension out the window. Is there a way to go back to a mortal?

Never used that cheat, but according to SS2MM, if you save while the Undead cheat is active, the "immortality" is saved with it. I don't know of a way to disable it, other than starting a new game. Wait for a second opinion.

You can, but it is a little longwinded.
* Remove the "undead" line from the cfg file.
* Download (
http://www.sshock2.com/shocked/editor/ss2editor.zip) ShockEd.
* In that file is another Zip file called shocked.zip
* Extract that zip file into the folder you installed Shock 2 into. It must go into the folder and not a subfolder. Let it override whatever it wants to
* Start Dromed.exe
* File > Load and pick a .mis file. It doesn't matter which one.
* Press Alt+G to enter game mode. It will give you an error, click cancel to carry on.
* Press Esc and then load your save game
* Press Alt+E to go back to the editor. You are now editing your save game.
* In the bottom right of the editor is a command line box. In this type "find_obj player" without the quotes.
* In the bottom centre of the editor is a button marked "Properties". Click it.
* Expand Game > Damage Model and highlight the Death Stage entry. Hit the delete button and "ok" your way out.
* Press Alt+G to enter Game Mode
* Press Esc and save your game
* Go back to the game and press Alt+E to go back to the editor
* Quit the editor
* Load up SS2 and load your new Save Game.
* You should be able to die.
Told you it was longwinded :p

Great checklist David :thumb:
This is a question that comes up every once in a while, so from now on we can always reply with the usual 'Use the SEARCH function!' ;)

Just tried to do this and could not get it to work. I get a message "Failed to open mission file" on the status bar. I can open the missions normally, so DromEd is set up okay, it seems to be just saved game .mis files.
David on 23/1/2006 at 22:23
Don't open the save game missions, just open up one of the level .mis files.
You just need something to go into Game Mode with, and one of the shipping .mis files is the easiest way.
Enchantermon on 23/1/2006 at 22:27
Do you even need to open a .mis file? Couldn't you just open ShockED, go straight to game mode and load the saved game?

Probably, but I use a mis file as I know it'll work and everything is set up right.
