I found something in Hunting Unlimited 2010 you might be interested in.

Alright bois, found something interesting to show you! This will be a long one, so be prepared. The game that i inspected was of course: Hunting Unlimited 2010. The game by itself sounds boring, but its one of my childhood games AND also one of the better if not the best hunting games out there. With this in mind, i had to mess with the game. The first thing to note is that the same company that made this game or SCS Software, also made a Truck Simulator game. The important thing is that BOTH games use a engine called Prism3D. If you search: "prism3d console commands" you will see there are commands for Truck Simulator. Some commands are same on Hunting Unlimited 2010, but most of them aren't. So what commands are in Hunting?

These are most of the commands you can modify in the console. There are other ones, and i will be talking about some important ones. To find this commands, you need to open the base.scs file with WinRAR or 7zip, where inside of the file are basically all the models, scripts, exc. The file name of the commands are config.cfg.
But 2 commands aren't noted here which i say are interesting. and
Map is used to load maps you normally play the game. The thing is, there are maps you SHOULDN'T play, where developers used to experiment them or used somewhere else! The maps im talking about are these.

Let me explain what map is and how to access them. To access any of these 4 maps (or all of them) you need to enable the console. To enable it, you need to open config.cfg and insert these 2 lines: and
Uset g_console is already there in the config file, you just need to switch it to "1". After changing the code, open hunting unlmited and you should be able to open the console by pressing the key `. you can hit TAB to see the codes you can use. We need map, so just type map and then name of the map! For example, the map "ad" is a map that appears only in the main menu and can't be accessed. BUT, by typing:
You can load the map and play it!
This is how the main menu map looks like: [ external image ]
And this is how is looks like when accessed. [ external image ]
You have no cursor, there are no sounds expect the water you hear everywhere and any map you access, you can only quit by typing in the console "quit". Now lets see some interesting ones!

This place appears every time you finish a mission. It basically show you where you shot the animal, how big, tall it is and so on. Here is how it looks like when you normally finish a mission:

There aren't any other maps called trophy_room, but yea, there are other variations.
Oh boy. This is a really nice one. This is a place developers experimented with the ai (duh). The items seem to float, so when you shoot them, they fall. its really interesting how its made, so here is a picture of this map:

I also noticed that you can actually enable the HUD! this is cool because normally when you hit F5, you immediately finish the mission. This isn't a mission, so this happens when you hit F5: [ external image ]
You probably noticed there is a bomb in the background. You are not wrong. That's a bomb. [ external image ]
The bomb isn't found anywhere else in the game so this is the only place that features this bomb. Kinda weird, but its there.
The next command where i need YOUR help is this one:
This is where i was confused when i saw it. If you type just cheat, it does nothing. Typing cheat 1, also does nothing. I tried everything, it doesn't do anything. Until i looked at the game files.
I realised at the start of the code it says: hlp
This means its in the help section of the game. And i was indeed right!
[ external image ]
So in the end, i will need your help. If anyone can help me find the cheats for this game, i would be the happiest person in the world! There are no forum posts about this, no information about ANYTHING i found in this game.
I also found some MORE things that are very weird. Like for example, in the Documents/Hunting Unlimited 2010/saves folder, you can edit your save file. whats even better is that there is a line that says:
So, we can edit the code to say last_tier 9 and skip the 8 tiers you have to do normally, right? I realised at that moment i was very wrong.

THIS is what happens if you change it to a tier you can't access. The tier number is 0, name is "KILL ALL THOSE ANIMALZ", there is only 1 mission named "Challenge" where you have a score of 999. You can't play the map and as soon as you switch it to a tier you can access, this screen is gone.
Thank you for this community, because there is nowhere else i could share my research with you all!
