Prototype Command-line Arguments
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
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
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
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
Steam Achievement Manager games update
April 14th, 2009The following games have been added to the list of games that have achievements:
- And Yet It Moves
- Braid
- Cogs
- Larva Mortus
- MEVO and the Grooveriders
- Obulis
H.A.W.X. ‘Complete’ Profile
March 19th, 2009
UPDATE: There was a bug with the campaign in the profile, redownload the ZIP for a fixed version. The readme will mention the update if you already have the updated profile.
I created a profile save that has all of the planes & missions unlocked, but leaves all other stats, etc as if the profile were just created. It also unlocks the following additional planes that are not normally accessible (since they are for VIP, DLC, which is not supported in the PC version):
- FB-22 STRIKE RAPTOR
- F-18 HARV
- Mig-31 Foxhound
- Mig-MFI
- Rafale M
- Saab-37 Viggen
- F-4E Phantom II
- MIRAGE 2000 N
- RF-15 PeakEagle
- Su-39 Frogfoot
- Mig-23 Flogger
- A-12 Avenger II
- XA-20 Razorback
- MIRAGE 4000
- F-111F AARDVARK
- SR-71 BLACKBIRD
- Saab-35 Draken
This is for the retail game (any version, physical, Steam, etc), not the demo!
Be sure to follow the instructions! 🙂

March 18th, 2009It’s now out, both retail & Steam. Data archive password is still the same one from the demo: rF4hfGe1PfrzGe3IbaRtWsIn.
