On this page you can find the famous powermad cheatscript originally developed by Fleabay and published on the offical Painkiller forums). As he abandonded the project, I took his work and continued working on it. It reactivates some cheats that have been disabled in the retail version of the game and adds some cool new features that make live easier. After installing this patch, you can trigger all kind of things just by pressing some keys or entering a command in the console. A feature overview can be found below.

Powermad Configurator (PMC) is a small helper application to customize Powermad. It is capable of changing key assignments for Powermad commands. In case you want to change the used hotkeys (because you are not comfortable with them or using them for other things while playing) or you want to bind other commands as the default ones to hotkeys, this is the right utility for you. PMC is included in Powermad 3.62+ and available as separate download for Powermad 3.1 (see above).



If the powermad file couldn't be detected correctly, use the browse button at the top right to pick it from your hard drive. You can assign a binding to any listed command by selecting it, choosing your desired key (or key combination) and clicking "assign". To delete key bindings, select an entry from the list and press the delete key or assign "<none>" for both the modifier and the access key. Note that the original painkiller bindings are not affected by these settings. That means: if you've assigned key X to, let's say, switching to the stake gun in painkiller, assigning it here again to pkgod (for example) will trigger both things when you're using X while playing painkiller.
Once you're done customizing your settings, click "Save". This will patch your powermad.pak file and store your settings to the config file of PMC (for the next time you're running it). "Defaults" resets all settings to Powermad standards.
