Unused Graphics

As many games have, BluePoint Games had some silly placeholder pictures, in this case for their concept art gallery. There are a number of slots that use either one image or the other and they were evidently just never removed from the game data.

Developer Comments

The file shadowzones.cxml has a few developer comments explaining how shadow zones work and reminders.

Minimum needed to show loading screen and intro screens --><Zone name="startup" zoneId="#00000000" default_persistent="unloaded" default_low="unloaded" default_high="unloaded"></Zone><!-- Contains the base world settings.
Generally a specific zone will reference this, set itself and surrounding areas to high and further ones to base. But because not all areas contain a low, high, or base, this allows us to set what the default level is for each area.

Ensure all changes are reflected in op12_home as well!!!
