Steam Achievement Manager games update
Monday, August 17th, 2009Dawn of Discovery / ANNO 1404: Unlock Preorder Content
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Want the preorder Silver Ship or Preorder Emblem but didn’t preorder the game?
- Extract preorder_hack.zip to your game directory. It should not overwrite any files.
- Set PreferLocalFiles in Engine.ini to 1. This file can be found on Vista/Win7 in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\Engine.ini. It’s probably something like C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\Engine.ini on XP.
- Start any game, rename one of your ships to the The Silver Ship. If you are playing the game in a different locale than English, you will need to extract change_achievement_name.zip to your game directory as well.
- You should see at least one achievement unlock.
- Silver Ship and Preorder Emblem should now be enabled. Silver Ship toggle is in game options, Preorder Emblem is listed with all other unlocked emblems.
- Remove the extract file(s) after you’ve saved and exited the game.

Prototype Command-line Arguments
Sunday, June 21st, 2009I posted this on a forum, but here is a (mostly) complete list of command-line arguments available to Prototype.
My favorite being prototypef.exe Level=manhattanTest which starts the game in a game with all upgrades unlocked, no missions, and no infected & military.

Prototype
Sunday, June 21st, 2009So, someone convinced me to try working on Prototype, and so far it’s been a success. I’m currently working on an editor for the Pure3D (*.p3d) files, called Edit3D.
It’s working pretty good, the big brunt of the work will be researching & writing code to serialize/deserialize the many, many different types of data in the Pure3D files. I did a test texture replacement of alex_body_dm.dds with good success:
Ghostbusters
Friday, June 19th, 2009Wrote some code to unpack POD files, which can be found on my SVN. A binary of the Unpack tool from SVN rev5 is available.
I havn’t written any code for repacking yet, and I havn’t tested if the game reads unpacked files at all yet. If you encounter any problems feel free to comment this post.
Steam Achievement Manager 5.0
Monday, May 18th, 2009Due to lots of people bugging me about it, I’ve added support for editing statistic values to Steam Achievement Manager.
You can download the new version of Steam Achievement Manager on its page.
Also to address some concerns about people asking about Left 4 Dead achievements. They’re not “persisting” in-game when you unlock them in Steam Achievement Manager because there are statistic values tied to them, and the game verifies these when it lists its achievements. It has nothing to do with SteamCloud (that’s not its purpose!).
New games listed as of 5.0 (I added these before 5.0 but had not posted an update):
- Killing Floor
- Plants vs. Zombies
- Zeno Clash
