http://code.google.com/p/antares/issues/detail?id=140

In Ares, hitting shift-8 in the level selection menu plays the stealth
field sound, and then you're able to select any level by typing in its real
number (so "23" for A Mothership Connection). Antares doesn't have this or
another level-select cheat that you can use in the game itself, and this
makes testing add-ons less convenient.

Does *05 unlock level 5? (That is, are two numbers always required?)

In Antares, this will probably be implemented to unlock the specified level
but not any of the intervening, because Antares typically does so.

Yes, it does; two numbers are essential.

It sounds like Antares could very easily support branching mission paths,
or at least, do a better job of it than Ares.

Put it back in. Didn't have anything handy to check that shift is being
held, so it will work with just "8" (Shift-8 is fine too, or * on the
numpad).

There's an implementation change: it will decide the number of digits
required based on the number of chapters in the plugin. If there are 100
chapters, 3 digits are required. If there are only 6, then only a single
digit is required.

And yes, Antares is much better-suited to branching mission paths. The Iron
Fist should already demonstrate that.
