Cheats and Command Line Paramaters

Need some help getting past that group of Bipedici? Or do you want to get to the Flembrane without having to play all the other levels? Perhaps you want some screenshots? Here's the page for you!

Here I'll list the original cheats along with their DooM counterparts. So if you play Chex Quest using a DooM source port, [such as DooM 95 or DooM legacy,] you can cheat. Though a real Chexwarrior wouldn't need cheats....

I've also included the DOS paramaters as found on Chexmania. Please note that they are the same as DooM's, so there is no need to fret about not being able to use these with a DooM source port.

Here are the Cheat Codes. I'll list their effect, their Chex Quest version, then their DooM counterpart.

Chex Quest DOS Paramaters

To use most of these parameters, go to dos and start CQ by typing:

"chex -devparm <parameter> <more parameters>". If the "-devparm" parameter

is not needed, the parameter will be marked with a plus (+). Most of these

parameters can be mixed and matched to create different effects. Lastly,

typing F1 during development mode will allow a 256 color screen capture in

PCX format.

-avg Ends the game after 20 minutes

+: Does not require the "-DEVPARM" parameter.

+++: Must be used in conjunction with the "-WARP" parameter

#: For the "-playdemo" and "-timedemo" options, if you give an LMP file name

of "demo#" (i.e. "demo3"), then that internal demo will be played if the

external LMP file is not found. For example, to play the internal Chex Quest demo, type "chex -playdemo demo2".

Additionally, when using "-timedemo," the game will give you two

numbers after you quit to DOS, GAMETICS and REALTICS. To determine

the Chex Quest frame rate use the formula (GAMETICS/REALTICS) * 35.
