Debug Mode

Hmmm...
To do:
Document the difficulty select feature.

Additional features for testing purposes can be enabled by editing the Game.ini config file: find the following string in the file and switch "False" to "True". Some copies of the game may use a default.ini and refer to a non-existent module (HGame.HPConsole), so the chunk below needs to be copy and pasted into the .ini to enable it.

[HGame.baseConsole]
bDebugMode=False
bUseSystemFonts=True

If done correctly, the game will display the average green Unreal Engine 1 debugger text on the top of the screen, and the build version (021009_1205) will appear in the pause menu. Additionally, a new option can be selected which triggers the credits anywhere.

Commands

  • Insert - takes a screenshot and saves it as a raw bitmap at "\Documents\Harry Potter II\".
  • Delete - enables the free camera mode. All actors and cutscenes are frozen while this mode is enabled.
  • F4 - toggles the "Shortcut Window".
  • F7 - toggles debug mode.
  • Backspace - opens a "Language Browser" window, only accessible in-game and not in the pause menu. Doesn't seem to function at all.
  • Page Up/Page Down - increases and decreases game speed, respectively.
  • Tilde (~) - toggles the console.

Shortcut Window

HP2-Shortcuts-Menu.png

Allows the user to access every level and view preset bookmarks. A sound test exists for each map's dialogue, but the files are from the first game and don't exist here. GSTATE is short for "game state", and alters the progress of the overall game.

Unused Areas

Ch7Gryffindor.unr

Hmmm...
To do:
Find details on Coca-Cola promotion this level was made for.

An entire challenge stage that goes unused. Its warp is behind a locked door in the Gryffindor common room. It can be accessed via free camera/ghost mode or by choosing it in the level select. Alternately, the level can be enabled by creating a file in the System folder named ABC.int with the following contents:

[LevelEnable]
Enable=True

Playable Flying Ford Level

While there is no actual level built for it, there is enough evidence to affirm that a level with the flying Ford Anglia was scrapped early on. Based on this script, the car "character" had these characteristics:

  • The car controlled pretty closely like Harry in Quidditch matches, albeit a little faster.
  • The car made sounds for swift and tight turns and twists just like the broomstick (the sounds used are placeholders).
  • The car could hit walls or obstacles approaching at high speeds.
  • The car had a health bar and lost health if it hit an obstacle (however it had invincibility frames).
  • There is a timer function, though it is empty and could be related to anything.
  • The car was supposed to have a boost, though how it could have been implemented and how much it would've helped is unknown since the base speed and the boost speed weren't changed (but the car went at 800 units of speed compared to Harry who runs at 100 units of speed).

There is another script that contains information on the level:

  • You were supposed to avoid muggles.
  • There were multiple triggers for different zones of danger consisting of "Safe", "Town", "Wind", "Lightning", and "Airplane" (Airplane only is used in the Flying Car cutscene). They had various effects on the car's movements and status.
  • There was a muggle meter and some icons representing a certain level of stealth (see icons below) that indicated how close you were to getting "caught", but there is no actual code for it, only values. It can be logically assumed that the meter would go up quicker above the "Town" zones.
  • There is a bit of code concerning random dialogue. Maybe Ron and Harry could've shared helpful hints or shouted even more.

Startup.unr

This is a base map used as a starting point for developers. It's the Unreal Engine equivalent of a blank document. The texture changes depending on what each game's default texture is set to; for Chamber of Secrets, this would be the blue guideline texture.

HP2 Startup.png

Entry.unr

Another Unreal Engine "blank document". It's a simple box textured with a second tier default texture. For Chamber of Secrets, this is one of many base wall textures created for Hogwarts.

HP2-Entry.png

The Fat Lady's Room

The Fat Lady's portrait is static when looking at it. However, when Harry approaches the portrait, the camera cuts to a close-up of her 3D model. Her entire model and backdrop are in a small room above the actual door to the Gryffindor Common Room.

HP2-Fat-Lady-Room.png

Hagrid's Hut

A bit like in the previous game, the interior of Hargid's hut is modeled under the map in the Hogwarts Grounds, however in this game you never actually go in the hut.

HPCoS-HagridHut.PNG

Unused Graphics

Hmmm...
To do:
There are probably more scattered through the files. The game is not consistent about the location of its textures.

Texture Guides

The texture guides from the previous game make a comeback.

HP2 FF RedGuide.png HP2 greenguide.png HP2 FF BlueGuideEH.png

Test Level Image

New, however, is this placeholder image, which can be found under the name testl in the HP2_Master.utx texture archive.

HP2 testl.png

HP_Menu Old HUD

In the fittingly titled OLD_Textures folder there are several texture archives containing various outdated assets. Most notable is a folder with a previous version of the HUD, which has some interesting elements.

Items and Bosses

Cards, Folio, and Health

It seems that each card category had a slider to indicate the progress to the next upgrade instead of simply collecting 10 of each. The gold card sliders seem to indicate that they would've also given some sort of upgrade to the player.

House Points, Quidditch, and Vendors

Duels

In this version of the HUD, there is a magic strength gauge with a slider. You can charge a spell in the game, but the only indicator is the growing spell effect.

Menu

Most of these icons look completely different and were probably redrawn for clarity. There is an unknown Lion Menu option.

HPBasic

This archive contains lots of the base textures from the last game, so of course some of them became unused.

HPCoS-BannerMoon.png HPCoS-BannerStar.png HPCoS-cup banner.png

HPCoS-podium Gryffindor.png HPCoS-podium Hufflepuff.png HPCoS-podium Ravenclaw.png HPCoS-podium Slytherin.png

HPEdit Icons

These icons are almost identical to the ones found in the first game.

HGame.u Icons

The archive hgame.u adds a few more icons to the mix.

HP_Logo.utx

Hp2UnusedHourglass.png


An unused hourglass texture. This would most likely be used if you could not skip a cutscene. In the final game, nothing is shown if you try to skip a cutscene that must be played.

Sorcerer's Stone Leftover Graphics

Hmmm...
To do:
There are still TONS of textures from Sorcerer's Stone alone. Make sure we have all unused textures from the "Old Textures" folder.

The same archive also contains a few leftovers from the first game.

HP2 HPLogoTexture.png HP2 EnemyBarEmpty 1.png HP2 EnemyBarFull 1.png HP2 PeevesHead 1.png

CVResearch

In the Old_Textures subfolder is an archive containing many textures referring to an old version of the previous game.

HPCoS-bw2.png HPCoS-GOLDFOIL.png

HPCoS-spellshapecv.png HPCoS-startcv.png

HPCoS-logo1.pngHPCoS-logo2.pngHPCoS-logo3.png

HP_Logo.utx

This file contains four chunks of a leftover Sorcerer's Stone logo.

This is what the logo looks like when put together:

Hp2OtherLeftoverLogoAll.png

HPParticle.u

Hp2leftoverMusicNoteSS.png

A leftover particle texture from Sorcerer's Stone. It was used while playing the flute for Fluffy.

Unused Save Thumbnails

In the "Thumbnails" folder in the "System" folder, there are a few unused save thumbnails.

(Source: DmBd-R)

Unused Animations

There are a lot of animations left unused in the files. Surprisingly, there aren't that much leftovers from the previous game.

(Source: Laenthor)

Unused Models

Hmmm...
To do:
There's probably a lot more to find. Check if all of the breakable vases are used.

Some of these are from the first game, some are simply test models.

Sorcerer's Stone Leftover Models

DirectionCameraMesh

HP2-DirectionCameraMesh.PNG

Never meant to be seen, but probably used in debugging to visually represent the real camera's position.

skBedGryffindorMesh

Harry-Potter-Sorcerer-Windows-Gryffindor-Bed.png

Probably would've been found in the Gryffindor common rooms, but the dormitory rooms never open (one even has an unused bonus challenge load zone behind it).

skTelescopeMesh

Harry-Potter-Sorcerer-Windows-Telescope.png

A giant telescope that also went unused in the first game.

skBugCaveMesh

Harry-Potter-Sorcerer-Windows-Cave-Bug.png

This low-textured insect was also unused in the first game.

skFoodPeevesAppleMesh

HP2-SkFoodPeevesAppleMesh.PNG

skFoodPeevesSpoonMesh

Harry-Potter-Sorcerer-Windows-Peeves-Spoon.png

skDishesPeevesSpoonMesh

Harry-Potter-Sorcerer-Windows-Peeves-Pot.png

skBooksPeevesThrowMesh

Harry-Potter-Sorcerer-Windows-Peeves-Book.png

Leftover items from the first game. Filenames suggests that Peeves was supposed to throw different items at you in the skurge challenge, but he simply throws ectoplasm balls in the final version.

skChristmasTreeMesh

HP2-SkChristmasTreeMesh.PNG

skChristmasOrnamentBirdMesh

Harry-Potter-Sorcerer-Windows-Ornament-Bird.png

skChristmasOrnamentBallMesh

Harry-Potter-Sorcerer-Windows-Ornament-Ball.png

Lovely Christmas decorations. An ornament star is also unused, but it uses the same model as the challenge stars so it is not included here.

skdevilplantMesh

HP2 skdevilplantMesh.PNG

The Devil's Snare from the first game is here for some reason.

Miscellaneous

skCutsceneMarkerMesh

HP2-SkCutSceneMarkerMesh.PNG

Never meant to be seen in-game. Used to mark cutscene triggers while debugging, but stored and visible in the Basilisk boss fight actor room in the game, though it obviously still can't be seen by normal means. It may be stored in other actor rooms as well.

WizardCardIconMesh (with unused WizardCardIconTex0 texture)

HP2-SkWizardCardIconMesh.PNG

A literal placeholder texture for the card collectibles.

skTitleTestMesh

HP2-SkTitleTestMesh.PNG

An early version of the floating title in the first cutscene. The font is a bit different and the texture is completely different from the final.

skSpellBallMesh

HP2-SkSpellBallMesh.PNG

This simple sphere uses a jelly bean texture by default, but its filename suggests it might've had multiple textures and used as a spell.

skQuidditchBludgerMesh

HP2-SkQuidditchBludgerMesh.PNG

Just like in the last game, the bludgers have a visual effect to distort them so you never actually see the model.

skBroomHoopMesh

HP2-SkBroomHoopMesh.PNG

Filename suggests the Quidditch hoops, but why does it have a default non-transparent texture?

Unused Music

Hmmm...
To do:
Upload the music that isn't used here, but is on GameCube/PS2/Xbox versions.

Adv12Chamber_StartHall_edit.ogg This appears to be part of the E3 song, meant to be played inside the Chamber of Secrets itself only to be cut off after the horns stop. This is used in the PS1 version.

HP2-Happy_Hogwarts.ogg A looped version of the orchestrated Happy Hogwarts song, which technically only goes used on the console versions.

HP2-Sm_fem_COSE3Theme_03Mx.ogg This is very likely the song heard at E3, or the demo normally seen in the console versions when you press Start to begin.

HP2-Sm_hex_flying_02.ogg A part of the Flying music track, during the actual Quidditch match only the Boost track is used and makes a clicking noise at the start.

HP-Sm_qud_snitchhorn_01.ogg The Snitch horn, intended for when catching the Snitch and ending the Quidditch match. It is used on the console versions.

Sm_spb_spellbookcollect_02.ogg Likely intended for learning spells by picking up their respective spellbooks, this is only the case in the console versions. This track also plays when finding the Marauder's Map in Prisoner of Azkaban.

Hp2 Sm gst DeathDay 01 LP.ogg This track is used when Harry transforms into Goyle for the first time, but it fades in around 0:23 and does not loop, leaving the beginning unused.

Hp2GreenCauldron.ogg A leftover from Sorcerer's Stone. The quality is noticeably low.

Hp2OpeningCastleFlythrough.ogg Another leftover from Sorcerer's Stone. This song isn't used in the PC version, but is in the console versions.

Windows Game Boy Color

A song called "GambolJapesLoop", also known as "Flitwick's Boogaloo" in the Game Boy Color version of the game. This is used as the level music in the unused (you need to cheat in order to access it) Gryffindor's Challenge. This song can be quietly heard in Gambol & Japes' shop in the GameCube/PS2/Xbox version.

Unused Text

Version.txt

A slightly longer version number than the one that appears on the pause menu in debug mode.

HPCos_021009_1205-1

WS_FTP.LOG

Present in the Sounds folder is a log from a WS_FTP LE client. Apparently, the package containing all the game's dialogue was uploaded to a (now defunct) subdomain on Electronic Arts' website. This file is only present in the US version of the game.

102.09.26 16:18 B D:\LangSpecific\USA\Sounds\AllDialog.USA_uax --> troff.ea.com /CoS - HPPC/Soundfiles AllDialog.USA_uax

Debug Text

Every time you find a secret area in the game (done by walking into the actual secret area and over a special trigger at the entrance that plays the "Secret Area Found" sound and adds to the counter for them), the console displays a silly message.

Secret Area Found! Oh most glorious delight and joy!!!

There's another little gem found in the console that can be viewed after the Charms class cutscene. If you watch the text, you can see "cues" being given to the different NPCs and objects as if they were actors in a movie. Among these is a "WaitFor" cue. One of these shows up that seems to tell someone/thing to wait until Flitwick is done talking about the Chamber of Secrets:

WaitFor: FlitDoneWithHisCrap

When Harry dies, this pops into the console:

argghhh I'm Dead!!!!

And when he gets hit, this appears:

argghhh I'm HIT!!!!

Regional Differences

Hmmm...
To do:
Probably a lot more. At the very least there's the Stephen Fry/Jim Dale and Fat Lady/Pink Lady stuff to document.

Subtitles

The international versions store subtitles in hpdialog.int. The US version also has this file, but reads its subtitles from HpDialog.usa instead, a file which is not present in the international versions. Most of the differences between the two are minor changes in spelling to fit British or American English, but there are some wording changes as well - not all of these changes are actually reflected in the audio files. Some subtitles were changed for lines that aren't used in the final game.
