Half-Life cheats

Console Codes:

Load the game using the '-DEV ?TOCONSOLE' (HL.EXE ?DEV ?TOCONSOLE) command line parameters. If the text does not disappear press the tilde key '~'.

During game-play press the tilde key '~' and type 'sv cheats' at the console window to activate cheat mode. For this code to take effect you must either die or reload your game.

All Weapons and Ammo:

Enable Cheat mode. Then press '~' and enter '/impulse 101' at the console window.


Regular cheats

These are the regular cheats found in Half-life:

God = Invincible on/off

Notarget = NPC's can't see you (Invisible on/off)

Impulse 101 = Spawn all weapons, ammo, a hazard suit and a battery

Noclip = No clipping (can fly and phase through walls)

Kill = Suicide

Note: You don't need to use capitals while typing in the cheats.


World physiques

Here are some of the cosole commands that can change the physiques in the Half-life world:

-sv_gravity x

Replace x with numbers: 0 = No gravity, 800 = Default, -800 = Reversed gravity.

Note: It's gravity the way you want it

-sv_accelerate x

Replace x with numbers: Changing the numbers higher than 10 won't affect your speed. But try to put in negative numbers like -200 and your speed will certainly be affected but it will also revers your controller so up means down etc.

Note: Revers your controller before using the accelerating code and there will be no reversed controll.

-host_framerate x

Replace x with numbers: 0 = Default, 0.2 - 100 = Faster and faster gameplay, 0.02 and down to 0.001 = True matrix style (ultra slow).
