Debug Options

A few debug options can be accessed in this game. The codes listed below are only for the PlayStation 2 version of this game. If you plan on activating these codes on a real PlayStation 2, activate the following enable code first. If not, skip this step.

USA	PAL

Level Select

Like in the previous game, a level select menu is available. The North American version of this level select has all the test maps removed, however these are still present in the European version, which is good for us. In the level select menu for this game, you can access test maps which test different props, enemies, etc. You can re-enable this menu with the following codes. Anything that supports RAW codes such as a CodeBreaker or GameShark will work.

USA	PAL

• 

  Enabling the code will reveal the level select in the main menu.

• 

  The US version level list.

• 

  The EU version level list.

• 

  This also opens cheat options in the pause screen.

The above cheat enables a graph in-game at all times. When a certain graphic entry gets loaded into memory, it will flash that icon accordingly. When Spyro shoots fire the fire icons will light up and so on. It's unclear what the numbers represent. Version 1 of the above code is how it probably should normally look. Version 6 is also another good one.

  It also displays info about currently playing movies.

Graphics

Unused Logo

Prototype Logo	A New Beginning Logo	Final Logo

There is an unused early logo in the files of the game, more resembling the logo used for A New Beginning.

Russian Logo

To do: Find a better screenshot/logo.

Unused	Used

This early Russian logo can be found in the game's files. The "Spyro" lettering was slightly darker, the formatting of "The Legend of" was altered, and the last words misuses "B" insted of "Ь". It ends up translating to "Eternal Overnight" as a result.

Unused Areas

There are a few test maps in the game that can be accessed through the hidden level select.

Test Maps

test_01.lc3.bni

test_01.lc3.bni contains a ton of props all around the map to test different features. There are also dialogue box buttons that test how they work in-game.

demo_01.lc3.bni

Like the map above, this one contains a ton of props. It also tests slopes and different effects.

Battle Test

The Reset Test option in the level select launches a battle test of some sorts where you need to activate different stuff, kill enemies etc. to get to the next stage. There are four stages inside the Reset Test option.

Enemy Testing

There are maps for enemy testing inside the game files. With these you can pretty much fight every enemy that is supposed to appear in the map. From dogs to assassins. By going on the green button, you can spawn the select enemy. Going on the red button will despawn the enemy. Every single one of these maps take a section from a normal map and puts buttons on it.

enemy-temple_01.lc3.bni

Temple Enemy Testing.

enemy-grove_01.lc3.bni

Ancient Grove Enemy Testing. This map acts as a testing-section for the Ancient Grove part and the Underground Grove part.

enemy-caves_01.lc3.bni

Celestial Caves and Dream Sequence enemies testing map.

enemy-arena_01.lc3.bni

Pirate Fleet and Fellmuth Arena enemy testing. The third image is an assassin enemy test. One weird side-effect with testing them like that is that you can't breathe fire on them.

enemy-fortress_01.lc3.bni

Mountain Fortress enemy testing map.

IgnoredEnemies.txt

// Whatever global.model enemy entries are listed here will be ignored by the automated AnimationTester.exe which
// is run in the Update.bat.
//
// Note: 	If one of -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 or -8 is listed after an enemey then, rather than ignoring the enemy
//		all together, AnimationTester.exe just ignores that particular test for the enemy.
//
//
//	'1' tests whether an animation is defined in the .bad but not the .add
// 	'2' tests whether an animation is defined in the .add but not the .bad
// 	'3' tests for cycle loop and cycle stop in the animations that require it
// 	'4' tests whether attacks have the required 'AttackBegin' and 'AttackEnd'
//	'5' tests whether the reference points used in the add files exist in m3d
//      '6' tests whether subobjects and armour are set up correctly
//      '7' tests whether the melee trails are set up correctly if they exist
//	'8' tests if .add file has an entry for either ASV_HitKnockdown or ASV_HitFall
