Thief 2 - The Metal Age

Increase Cash (Bug Exploitation):
---------------------------------
Just before completing the mission, do a save or quicksave.
Complete the mission and save it in a different save slot.
Reload your last save or quicksave before completing the
mission. Complete the mission again.
The statistics screen should now have ADDED TOGETHER the
loot from BOTH mission completions. Apparently, the variable
which stores treasure amount at the end of the mission is not
being cleared between loads.
You can keep doing this until you have all the cash you need
to buy out the store at the loadout screen for the mission
immediately following.

Modify Starting Cash:
---------------------
You can edit the dark.cfg file and add the line
"cash_bonus n" N represents the amount of cash added
to the beginning of a mission.

Skip to Next Mission:
---------------------
Press [CTRL] + [ALT] + [SHIFT] + [END] to skip to the
next mission.

Easy no kill missions:
----------------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create
a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text
editor to edit the "user.cfg" file in the game directory.
Enter "cheats_active" on a new line, then enter
""nokillgoalcheat" on the next line. You will now be
able to pass the objectives in any mission that requires
you not to kill anyone.

More money:
-----------
Save the game immediately before completing a mission.
Complete the mission as usual, and save the game in a
different save position. Reload save that was made before
the mission was completed. Complete the mission again.
The statistics screen will combine the money from both
missions. Repeat this to earn as much as needed.

No Killing Rule:
----------------
This involves editing the USER.cfg file, first make a copy of
the file, then add the following lines
"cheats_active", "nokillgoalcheat" this will alow you to win
with out worrying about the no killing rule in some missions.

Hints:
------
The security cameras can be shut off one of two ways: find the
switch or use a fire arrow.

Guards who come across the unconscious or dead bodies of their
compatriots will sound the alarm. Be sure to stuff the bodies
in out-of-the-way places. Bodies of water (pools, streams)
work very well.

If you must fight with the sword, use short, choppy strokes.
Hitting a guard will often break his swing.

Pick up everything you can get your hands on. You'll always be
able to use the extra cash.

More money:
-----------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a
backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor
to edit the "user.cfg" file in the game directory. Change
the value after the "cash_bonus" entry to increase the amount
of additional money available at the start of each level.


Almost all doors and chest unlocked:
------------------------------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a
backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor
to edit the "user.cfg" file in the game directory.
Enter "cheats_active" on a new line, then enter "lockcheat"
on the next line.

Attach through walls:
---------------------
You can swing your sword through walls when an opponent
is on the other side.

Expert 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 "user.cfg" file in the game directory.
Enter "cheats_active" on a new line, the enter one or more
the following lines after it.
FailOnSee
FailOnKO
FailOnKill

Each mission will be easier to fail.
