NOTE: These are the main Z: Steel Soldiers cheats that are usually applied by pressing down the right key combination. Please find the instructions on how to use these cheats below.

Level select
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the ".zcm" file in the "bin" folder in the game folder. The file contains a number which represents the current level. Change that number to "210614544".

To find what your looking for in the save games folder of Z:SS you'll find files of the 'sz2' variety. NOT the 'sz2.snf' file. Take this file '?????.sz2' and open it with "HexEdit" by Geoffrey Prewett. Then search for the floating point value of 10,000 for the first scenario save. To search with hex the look for the code 00401C46 and right beside it will be another 00401C46 and the a few numbers down the row you'll find it again. This is usually found at address '1630'. This is where the 10,000 credits are for the first scenario game save.

Change ALL 3 of these values to 00247449 and you'll have 1,000,000 credits when you return and reload this game. Remember not to change only one or two of the above locations or it won't work. You have to change all 3.

Below is a list of the even credits from 10,000 on up to 15,000 because some of the scenario's start you out with differing amounts. But most all will be found at address '1630':

10,000 = 00401C46
11,000 = 00E02B46
12,000 = 00803B46
13,000 = 00204B46
14,000 = 00C05A46
15,000 = 00606A46

If you want more of the above then goto the web and find HexEdit, dowload it and use it. To find the floating point value download WinHack and use its calculator feature which has the float integer value which is where you put the value and in the float hex value you'll see the code OF COURSE backwards.

Thanks go to Troy Willig for breaking this code and only in two days.

NOTE: As their name suggests hints are not exactly Z: Steel Soldiers cheats, and are usually just simple (but very useful) tips on how you can unlock secret level, features, find hidden areas and such. Hopefully these will make playing Z: Steel Soldiers even more entertaining.

Rapid Shockwave attack
Note: This can only be done on the unpatched game in single player mode. Hold [Shift] and repeatedly click on an immobile target while the shockwave unit charges. Multiple energy blasts will be fired.
