HL2: God mode on by default?

[Toby]

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life (More info?)

My g/f says that she wants to play HL2 if she can play in god mode.
Rather than teach her about the console, is it possible to make a
shortcut that runs HL2 in god mode for her automatically, without
meaning that I, too, have to be in god mode?

The way I know to do godmode at the moment is:
modify the shortcut to "c:\[..]halflife2.exe" - console
Use ~ to bring down console
Enter god

Perhaps the above could be put into a *.ini somehow so she can just
double-click and play?

Hmm maybe something like this at the command line?:

+sv_cheats 1 +god

Haven't tried it though
The plus sign indicates a console command

The whole thing is on hold now while I tackle a Steam problem:
My g/f is a liability on the computer so I only gave her a guest account
in XP, but steam won't let itself be run from a guest account because it
doesn't have the permissions to edit 'c:\program files\*'.

Just start a game, turn on god mode, and then save it. When you load the
game later, god mode will still be on, but the cheats won't.

Cool. Now to get HL2 to run as a guest...
