NEXTMAP but Keep Inventory?

[Barry Burton]

Sorry if this is a silly question but I did look in the wiki and couldn't find an answer, so:

Is there a command like NEXTMAP but allows one to keeps one's weapons and armour?

Thanks for any help.

use

changemap mapname

at the console, that will end the current map as if you'd hit an exit switch and then take you to whichever map you specified by mapname (e.g. map02)

While there isn't normally a command to go to the next map while keeping everything, you could easily set it up yourself using ACS and Console aliases.
As a proof of concept, here is a small mod that should do the trick. Just open the console, type in nextmap2 and close the console.

Otherwise, do as Enjay says.

You can use 'special 243' (or 'special Exit_Normal 0') to manually call the "Exit_Normal" action special. In most cases, that'll do what you want.

This is what I normally do.

Just to clarify: You can type "special exit_normal 0" as a console command.

If you don't want to remember all that, you can type this:

Code: Select all

alias exitmap \"special exit_normal 0\"

Then all you have to type is "exitmap".

For secret exit you can do this:

Code: Select all

alias exitsecret \"special exit_secret 0\"

And "exitsecret" will work for that.

Yeah, sorry, I'm unclear as to whether the OP was asking for a console/cheat command or something that can be done via a script or exit line.

[Jarewill]

Woah, so it's possible to use line specials in the console? Now that is useful to know!
And here I was recently wondering about executing them on the fly for debugging purposes.

Thanks so much for all the info. Basically, I was looking to just assign a key (as I have with NEXTMAP) for testing stuff on different maps quickly. You've really helped me here. Thanks again.
