Create custom missions with the level editing cheats (PC version only)

The developers from Mimimi Games had a little fun while working on the free Bounty Mode
Update. They have implemented a simple level editing functionality to Desperados III, called
“Level Editing Cheats”!

Basically, it is a level editor light, which allows you to create your own mission setups and
share the savegames with the community.
With the “Level Editing Cheats” you can spawn all types of enemies and other NPCs in any
location on any map of Desperados III or have fun by placing different objects throughout the
level. You want to spawn 30 bulls and use 20 dynamite crates as well as 10 gatling guns in
“Mission 3: Troublemakers in Flagstone” for maximum chaos? You got it! A crowd of a dozen
unsuspecting “Ponchos” standing in an oil puddle? Would be shame if someone threw in a torch
…

There are good guides how to quickly get started from the developers and also the
community:

Written guide with useful visualizations of the NPC spawn codes:

Make sure to upload your creation to mod.desperados.io and let the community know about it
on the official Desperados Discord channel: https://discord.gg/desperados

If you prefer an old-school offline guide, follow the instructions here:

Start any level, enter the options menu and type in “honorless”. There is now console, so it
needs to be typed in blindly. If you think you have a typo, just start again with the letter h. A
dialog will appear once the cheat is detected.

You can insert enemies, civilians and even game characters in the mission with a special code.
Objects are spawned at Mouse Position (and will always face the camera position)
To do so, hold the INS (insert) key on the keyboard and at the same time hit a number key (on
the main block above the letters, Numpad numbers do not work)

For example, spawn a poncho guard by pressing INS + 7

You can also remove enemies by pressing SHIFT + DEL while the mouse cursor points on the
enemy.
(You can also remove civilians)

Special characters can be spawned by pressing INS + a five-digit code (listed on the next page)
