Submitted by: John Hancock
First go to the program files and find the path for sfc3.
For W98 its program files/activision/sfc3/assets/metaAssets/singleplayer.
Now click on character
and edit the file (note you may need to use wordpad to edit. MAKE SURE THAT YOU
SAVE A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL) then where it says StartingPrestige put the
amount you wish to start with. When you start a new campaign, the amount you
put in is what you will start with.
Please note that theres a number of files that you can edit for a cheat.
An example is you can change the names of ships under common setting and
the prices of the supplies in the supply dock etc.You can also change the mass
of shields & weapon items as well as the damage, price, etc. and this can help
create powerful ships.
Finding cloaked ships:
———————-
Before a ship cloaks, enable Follow Target. When the ship cloaks, you
will not be able to target it, but will be facing it when it decloaks.
Increased prestige:
——————-
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the character.gf file in
the \files\activision\sf3\metaassets\serverprofiles\singleplayer folder.
Find the line that reads // This is a characters starting prestige. Under
the [Create/0] header, replace the value with 200000.
Note: This affects Commander mode.
Note: Do this for the prestige values under the [Create/1] header for Captain
mode and the [Create/1] header for hard mode.
Faster officer promotion:
————————-
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the score file in the
\files\activision\sf3\metaassets\\singleplayer folder.
Add the following lines to the file:
[SpecializedLevelUp]
Basic = 1.0
Trained = 1.0
Skilled = 1.0
Veteran = 1.0
Expert = 1.0
Add cloak and shields to Borg ship:
———————————–
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the bridge items file in the
\activision\sfc3\assets\common settings folder. Find and highlight the highest
valued cloak and copy it.
It should look like this:
[CloakItems\R-CLOAK-V]
Description = R-CLOAK-V
Cost = 2500
Mass = 700
CloakRating = 100
CloakCost = 10
Health = 30
Race = R
Paste it to the bottom of the list, then change the race R to B for Borg.
Note: You can also change the mass so that you can fit it on any ship (down from
700 to 100). The edited portion should look like this:
[CloakItems\R-CLOAK-V]
Description = R-CLOAK-V
Cost = 2500
Mass = 100
CloakRating = 100
CloakCost = 10
Health = 30
Race = B
Exit and save the file. You now have a cloak on any Borg ship.
Next, edit the shield items file in the same folder. Find the highest rated Borg
Shield. It should look like this:
[ShieldItems\B-SHIELD-X]
Description =B-SHIELD-X
Strength = 32
Efficiency = 3.0
Cost = 2750
Mass = 8000
Race = B
UnavailableForRefit = 1
Highlight the UnavailableForRefit = 1 line and delete it. Note: you can also change
the mass so that you can fit it on any ship (down from 8000 to 100).
The edited portion should look like this:
[ShieldItems\B-SHIELD-X]
Description =B-SHIELD-X
Strength = 32
Efficiency = 3.0
Cost = 2750
Mass = 100
Race = B
Exit and save the file. You can now have shields on any Borg ship. You can also
experiment with many of the other values in these files to change other ship parameters.
Be careful, as this can cause the game to crash if you change the wrong value or make
it too high or too low.
Add cloak to Federation ship:
—————————–
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the bridge items file in the
\activision\sfc3\assets\common settings folder. Find and highlight the highest
valued cloak and copy it.
It should look like this:
[CloakItems\R-CLOAK-V]
Description = R-CLOAK-V
Cost = 2500
Mass = 700
CloakRating = 100
CloakCost = 10
Health = 30
Race = R
Paste it to the bottom of the list, then change the race R to FR for the Federation.
Note: You can also change the mass so that you can fit it on any ship (down from 700 to
100). The edited portion should look like this:
[CloakItems\R-CLOAK-V]
Description = R-CLOAK-V
Cost = 2500
Mass = 100
CloakRating = 100
CloakCost = 10
Health = 30
Race = FR
Free items in single player mode:
———————————
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the economy file in the
\activision\sfc3\metaassets\serverprofiles\singleplayer folder.
Locate the lines:
0 = 0.5
1 = 1.0
2 = 1.2
And change them to:
0 = 0.0
1 = 0.0
2 = 0.0
Start with any ship class:
————————–
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the character file in the
\activision\sfc3\metaassets\serverprofiles\singleplayer folder.
Locate the lines:
// Starting ships for players (sorted by RACE)
[StartingShips/0]
0 = Norway
1 = KVort
2 = Falcon
3 = Diamond
0 is the Federation, 1 are the Klingons, 2 are the Romulans, and 3 are
the Borg. Change the class of the ship that follows the appropriate race to
start with that type of vessel.
Invincible ship:
—————-
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the hullitems file in the
\activision\sfc3\assets\common settings folder. Change the health value for any
armor of any race to 9000. This will give you an invincible ship that does not
need shields. You can also change the mass and cost so that it can fit on any ship.
Free hull repair:
—————–
After getting hull damage during a mission campaign or conquest mode, complete the
mission, then go to a planet or starbase. Choose the Refit option. Do not do
anything on the refit screen except selecting the Accept option. You will return
to the map screen with a repaired hull.
Damaging Romulan ships:
———————–
You can do this with any ship. When facing the Romulans, let them come into a very
close range. Do not fire — let them fire first. Most (if not all) Romulan ships
will try to cloak as soon as they fire their torpedoes. When this happens, give
them all you have.
