General
Pressing R, Circle and Down brings up the main debug menu.
Holding R and pressing Left or Right allows you to spawn vehicles in front of Vic. Notably three otherwise unused vehicles can be spawned this way, as can Domestobot who can be driven around like any other vehicle. Doing the same while in water will spawn boats instead of cars, including a normally inaccessible (and nameless) faster version of the Speeder which is only used by an NPC in the mission Leap and Bound.
Level Skip Menu
To do: Can any of the other removed missions (see main page) be made selectable? Additionally, if GTA Wiki is to be believed, there are coordinates in the data that show where these missions would have been picked up from (i.e. Leo Teal's missions starting from the food stand in Ocean Beach.) |
A menu that allows you to skip to any mission. R and L change the "stage" (Pre-Empire, Low Empire, High Empire), analog Up and Down change the character and analog Left and Right to change the mission. Pressing X will warp you next to the desired mission marker. Additionally, any missions that would normally need to be completed for the chosen mission to unlock will be marked as such but they do not add to the overall completion percentage.
Removed missions don't normally appear selectable, but as the menu defaults to "Level 1" and reopens on the character you closed it on, you can force the game to display Gonzales' removed mission. Selecting it warps you in front of Diaz's mansion, presumably where the mission would have started.
Weather and Time Changer
A menu that allows you to change the weather and time of day. Analog Up and Down change weather, Analog Left and Right change the hour and Square freezes the clock.
MoCap Menu
A cutscene viewer. Use Up, Down, Left and Right to choose a scene and press X to play it.
USJ Editor
Unique Stunt Jump editor, crashes the game.
Toggle Player Coordinates
Crashes the game.
Marketing Camera
Crashes the game.
Player Cheats
To do: Does the save option actually work? |
A menu with various cheats, mostly self explanatory.
The Weapon Cheat option allows you to choose one of ten weapon sets. Notably, sets 5 and 10 include the cut land mine.
Character Viewer
To do: Any other controls here? |
A character model viewer. Left and Right change the model, Up and Down to change the animation and X to play the animation. Pressing Circle toggles between weapons (None, Pistol and Rifle). Pressing Square toggles between on foot, on motorbike or in car. The analog stick is used to move the camera. A model between the different Lousie models causes the game to crash.
Empire Status
Visually broken but otherwise functional. Analog Up and Down scrolls the list of empire sites and L teleports you to the chosen site.
Toggle Audio Debug
Seems to be for testing the dialogue during in-game cutscenes.
Launch JetSki Mission
Warps you onto the Jet Ski at the jetty at Interglobal Studios on Prawn Island. Doesn't seem to actually trigger the mission unless you are past the mission Say Cheese.
Complete All Story Missions
Self explanatory, clears all missions and triggers the credits.
Unlock End Game Viewer
Toggles 100% completion and unlocks the cutscene viewer.
Debug Menu Text
To do: Can the options not present above be accessed somehow? |
All the text for the debug menu, including inaccessible options.
