Post-Titan Hacking FAQ

READ THIS FIRST:
I do believe there are a few people on this forum that are GENUINELY confused on the basics as they stand post-update as most of the info is spread out, so I'm gonna put together a quick FAQ for those willing to do the legwork. I want this to be a jumping-off point for people, but I'm not dealing out applesauce and juice boxes.

So lets start with a little clarification on the state of things:

Do hacks still work?

MOST commands do still work with the exception of 1 hit ko damage commands such as player_monster_damage_base_constant and the old invulnerability cheat: monster_player_damage_base_constant

How do I use the console now? My game boots me when I try to use the console.

This is because the game updated hackshield which detects the old consoles, it also will not let you alter hackshield any longer, such as we did in the previous patch where you simply replaced with the old hackshield.

Then how do I use the commands that still work?

You will go to this thread: http://www.mpgh.net/forum/267-vindic...s-working.html
You will read the ENTIRE first post and follow the directions which are quite clear, and thank the OP of that thread.

One important note: The method to bind commands by modifying the command line for vindictus.exe does NOT work, don't try it, don't post about it when you do it anyway and it doesn't work.

As an alternative for slightly more advanced users: http://www.mpgh.net/forum/267-vindic...t-console.html
This is useful because any changes you make to your options, even video options, sound, etc., will break any binds you did with the console if you used the console method.

What can I do for a 1-hit KO?
While it is true the old method is patched, there are two known and working methods to do this, there may be more, but I have not seen them.

Search the code for info about the golden ball, it works like the ball from the football event, but it will kill ANYTHING in one kick/smash. You can spawn as many as you like whenever you want, just bind it to a key.

If you play Evie: http://www.mpgh.net/forum/267-vindic...ne-hit-ko.html

You can set that to like 9000 and then anything you pick up as evie will kill things in one hit if you bonk them with it, doesn't work for throwing. Also, only works for large objects. (thanks Functasticmo and Zummer for fixing my badness)

I'm still not clear on this binding thing, I used to just copy/paste into the console when I wanted to use a command. Help?

Yes, I used to just copy the codes I had in a txt file directly into the console, so I was a little unclear as well.
Just go here: http://www.mpgh.net/forum/267-vindic...vindictus.html

Go down to the section named "The External Console Method" and read from there on. Keep in mind all commands need quotes around them, this is pretty apparent in the thread, but you might forget when you are actually creating your binds in the console.

PROTIPS: Open notepad and write all your binds before putting them into the console. This serves two purposes, you will have a quick reference in case you forget which key does what, and if your binds get cleared (by you messing with the settings, which I mentioned before), you can simply copy and paste them back into the console quickly and easily without having to rewrite them all.

After you have bound everything to a key (I prefer numpad keys myself), all you need to do is launch the game and press your hotkeys to activate your commands. PLEASE be on a private boat by yourself before using ANY commands, this should be obvious.

What can I do about invulnerability/godmode?

Well, the command doesn't work anymore, but you don't need godmode if you never get hit right?
Go back to: http://www.mpgh.net/forum/423-vindic...-commands.html
In that thread there are a couple commands that you should already have been using, ai_reaction_delay_idle and its companion. Use these before you enter the battle, while still on the boat, and enemies will just stand there while you kick insta-kill dodgeballs at them. You only need to use these once per login, not each area, unlike most commands.

I really don't want to read all those posts and figure this out, can you make a video or all-in-one tutorial?

I think you missed the point of this thread and fail to understand the community in general. If you want a working console like old times shell out 150 bucks to Hell_Demon here: http://www.mpgh.net/forum/267-vindic...ell_demon.html

I'm sure he would appreciate your contribution as reparation for your noob self using his console up until this point.


So one last little thing: Thank the OP's of the threads I linked to, they have taken the time to help you, they will appreciate your thanks. However, do not feel obligated to thank me, as I'm not really doing you any favors here, just merging/commenting on information that's just spread out amongst the sea of "gieb hax pls" threads out there.

I will update as I think of more things.
