Unlimited use of golden cards?

[DashW]

Is there a silver black tarot card in Painkiller or BOOH that will allow you to use your current selection of golden cards an unlimited number of times?

If not, then is there a way to create a silver card like this? Or is there a way to do this without using the console?

Sure, just complete the `5-star challenge'.

...just plain obnoxious 5 star challenge? if you manage to complete that, your wish will indeed be granted.

You can go for the 5 star in either PK or BOoH, in any difficulty mode. Just get all 5 stars on each level, with or without completing the card objective (sometimes impossible to do both simultaneously) and there will be such a reward message at the end, indicating free and unlimited use of Gold cards.

The Divine Intervention card is the only one (from the Forest level) that will give you free use of Silver cards.

In case you don't know, the 5 stars are:

1) All Armor
2) All Holy Items
3) All Ammo
4) All Objects
5) All Secrets

You have to use the Powermad mod to complete the 5 star, because there are certain ammo, secrets and objects that need fixes that the developers have been sleeping on, while out touring or something.:rolleyes:

You can get it from kalme's Painkiller site. http://www.kalme.de/painkiller/

You can also get the reward without actually being challenged by either using the Powermad cheats, such as radar, no clip, halt, or even easier by typing in either pkperfect, or pmmorethanperfect in the console, after each level loads (makes a difference which one for each level). The console method will get you the reward in less than a few minutes in either PK or BOoH, but is not at all anything to write home about. Then again you're going to be rewarded with something that literally takes ALL the challenge out of the game, once you finally do complete it, so it's your call.;)

There's an even faster method if you're willing to use cheats. "pkcards" instantly gives you the five stars reward ;). Very nice explanation!

download PM,
forget about the fixes,
use its card usage command instead. ;)

"There's an even faster method if you're willing to use cheats. "pkcards" instantly gives you the five stars reward"

I was NOT aware of this, although I do think it odd that they would have a pkperfect, as well as a pkcards, do essentially the same thing, with only the cards being the difference.

Perhaps this is the reason they got rid of the pkperfect command?

I think it would be more appropriate to call pkcards, pkperfect, if it gets you not just the cards, but 5 stars as well.

I don't see the point of unlimited card ussage, just play without cards, I've been challenging myself not to use cards anymore, of course, nothing wrong with that is there?

[Frag Maniac]

...instead of trying to turn this into an opprtunity to label others responding, and at the same time make yourself sound like some kind of super cyber athlete?

"I don't see the point of unlimited card ussage, just play without cards, I've been challenging myself not to use cards anymore",

Challenging yourself?, why brag about and suggest he do this, if you admit it's a "challenge" for YOU to?

"of course, nothing wrong with that is there"?

I suppose not, what IS wrong is you taking it upon yourself to give advice you don't seem to have an easy time with yourself.

You've gotten in the habit of not only disrespecting the reputaions and skills of those of us that know the game well, you're now tampering with perfectly straightforward and sound advice, given to new players that have received it from us just as asked for.

Conceit and selfish pride can cloud your judgement perhaps more than anything, it has no place in helping someone that's looking for an easier way. Your labeling us as being just as green to the game as those we give advice to is out of place too.

Thank you all, I think I have what I came for, and by the way, I don't want this ability to make the game easier. I'm just getting a brand new PC and I want to show Painkiller off to some of my friends, and some of the golden cards (e.g. haste) are utterly spectacular.
I will not be using this ability if I am actually seriously playing the game.

[Frag Maniac]

...have to explain how you use them to any of us. The game's all about the fun, not the hype.;)

Hey if you get to liking the tweaks, try to take some screenshots to show us if you want. We need to build the screenshot files back up that were just wiped out, and I've been trying to get others to pitch in for some time. Just if you get the notion you want to that is.

Powermad offers great opportunities to make excellent screenshots.:cool:

THERE'S a thought - has anyone tried modding Cards?

Look at this thread:

I described how to mod cards in detail there.

You're under the impression that I understood what I read, and I didn't. I have ZERO idea what you guys are talking about most of the time. I'm just happy that there's an end product to all this code-speak.

Besides, as long as you guys are around, I don't NEED to understand it, do I? :D

[Frag Maniac]

..."read the directions", with these high tech software products, and it seems there's always pages missing, the ones that are easy to understand.:D
