SOLUTION TO VISTA CHEAT MENU PROBLEM FOR ROME: TOTAL WAR - Any Keyboard setup

Go to where you installed Rome: Total War ***Default: C: Program FilesThe Creative AssemblyRome - Total War***

Go to The "DATA" Folder

Find the "TEXT" Folder

Find the File "descr_shortcuts" ** Open with a Text Editor such as Notepad **

In the Text Find "Misc" (At Start of line) ** Line 152 to be exact **

Search for the line "show_console".

On that line by default it will say "Grave Accent hidden"

Remove the word "hidden" and Save the file.

Start the Game Rome: Total War (Via any shortcut)

On the Main Menu Click options --> Game Controls

Go to the Misc list of controls and Press Reset to Default

A New line "Show Debug Console" will now appear in the list of misc controls. (This is what the "hidden" line was in the descr_shortcut file)

Set the command to any key you want. This is why it works for any keyboard layout, you can set it to a key that suits you. I personally used Numpad 5 as this isn't used for anything else in the game and is a nice, easy universal key

Finished. You now have a console, regardless of what Operating System you use.

** Tested In **

Windows Vista Home Edition
Windows Vista Business Edition
Windows 7 Home
Windows 7 Ultimate 64x

That should work, its fixed mutliple of my friends problems and my own.

Hmm... I want to underline too

This thread is from 2007...

No wonder they were talking about a cheat menu from rome total war (makes sense :3).

I have been playing RTW on PC for ages and have just recently begun playing it (mac version) on my iMac. However, I am unable to edit the "desc strat" file like I could on the PC version. Does anyone know if it is possible on the Mac version?eltel4RTW
