'''Developer mode''', or "Devmode", is a utility used primarily for ''[[Halo Custom Edition]]''. It allows commands to be entered during gameplay using a console and is commonly used to test user-created maps.  
'''Developer Mode''', or devmode, is a feature that can be turned on in [[Halo Custom Edition]] (Halo PC) if desired. It allows cheats to be used for testing of maps, which are entered through the console.  


==Accessing Devmode==
==Process==
To create a Devmode [[Wikipedia:Shortcut|shortcut]], find a shortcut to Halo Custom Edition and copy it. Then, right-click the new shortcut's icon, and select ''Properties''. A text field labeled "Target" will have the value <tt>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe"</tt>; change this to read <tt>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe" -console -devmode</tt>.
To enable the devmode, go to your desktop, click on the 'Halo: Custom Edition' icon (or whatever you have named it), and then open the menu, and select 'copy'. Then select an empty space on your desktop and click 'paste'. Then rename it 'Halo CE devmode' or something similar. Then, right click the icon and select 'properties'. You will see the words <tt>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe"</tt>, with the quotations. Change this to read: <tt>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\haloce.exe"-Screenshot -console -devmode</tt>. Cheats with [#] next to them, type 1 to activate or 0 to deactivate.  


To load Halo Custom Edition with Devmode enabled, simply open the new shortcut. Do note however that shortcuts with Devmode enabled will prevent the user from joining internet and LAN servers, and removes one's ability to create an internet game. The user will only be able to create a LAN game.
Below are a list of basic codes:

Commands marked with "&lt;#&gt;" require a 1 (for activating) or a 0 (for deactivating) in place of the symbol.<ref group="alternate">Alternatively, "on" and "off" (without the quotation marks) can be used to activate and deactivate commands.

'''Alldev''' is a devmode program that works for Halo: PC and for Halo: Custom Edition [[Multiplayer|multiplayer]]. Basically, it allows server hosts to cheat. Non-hosts can use the lesser cheats, but cheats such as invincibility can only be achieved by the host. Often, people will host servers with Alldev for the sole purpose of having fun with cheats on.


'''Devtrainer''', or '''Developer Trainer''', is another devmode program which also works for Halo: CE. Instead of allowing the user to use commands on the console, it has a simple list of command codes built into it. Basic cheats such as super jump and invincibility can be switched on with the press of a button. One of DevTrainer's greatest features is its built-in ability to freeze time, allowing the player to stop all slow-moving projectiles, grenades, AI-controlled characters, and vehicles. It does not allow the player to freeze other players in place, unless they happen to be driving a vehicle.

In some Halo: Custom Edition custom maps, devmode is required in order to find easter eggs or in some cases, devmode will not work with certain maps


==Notes==
'''Devtrainer''' or '''Developer Trainer''' is another devmode program which also works for Halo: CE. Instead of allowing the user to use commands on the console, it has at least eleven command codes built into it. Basic cheats such as super jump and invincibility can be switched on by a click of a button. What makes DevTrainer great is that it has a time freeze function built into it, allowing the player to stop all slow-moving projectiles, grenades, AI characters, and vehicles. It does not allow the player to freeze other players in place, unless they happen to be driving a vehicle.
