Learn how to skip missions, get extra money, and adjust HUD elements using cheats in Thief: The Dark Project.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Skip Current Mission: Press CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-END during gameplay to skip the current mission and advance to the next one.
  2. 2
    Start at a Specific Mission: Edit your dark.cfg file and add the line "starting_mission X", replacing X with the desired mission number. This allows you to start a new game at a mission other than Lord Bafford's Manor.
  3. 3
    Extra Money: Add the line "cash_bonus" to your dark.cfg file. You can set this to an integer value, which will be added to your loot total for loadout purposes (the screen where you buy equipment before a mission).
  4. 4
    Adjust HUD Size: In your dark.cfg file, locate the lines "vismeter_zoom 110" and "hpbar_zoom 110". Changing the value from 110 to 90 will shrink the size of the gem and health shields, providing a larger visible area on the screen.
Tips
  • The mission skip cheat has been personally tested and confirmed to work.
  • The "cash_bonus" cheat adds money for loadout purchases.
  • Adjusting the zoom values affects the size of the gem and health shields on the HUD (Heads-Up Display).
