Teleporting/Cheating in vga games

[ken sent me]

I remember in the old AGI command line games (Larry 1 for example) you could press some keys and it would allow you to go into a sort of developer mode and you could do a bunch of things such as type in a room number to be teleported to that room. What im wondering is can you do that in the VGA remakes?

Although the game I want to use it in is an AGS made game so maybe they didnt put it in even if you could have. The game is Quest for Glory 4 1/2. I seem to have encountered a bug and cant finish it without teleporting and I dont feel like starting all over again right now.

If the game author left debug mode on (highly unlikely) and didnt change the default keys, the following can be used:

Ctrl+X = Teleport to room
Ctrl+A = Show walkable areas
Ctrl+S = Give all inventory

Failing that you might have to find a savegame from someone and continue from that.

Those remakes actually done by Sierra (e.g. Larry 1 VGA) do have a debug mode, which is somewhat trickier to use. It is activated by pressing both shift keys, and D. This does not apply to games in AGS, though, as these generally don't have a cheat mode.
