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
9017DB90 0C05F68C	9017DB50 0C05F67C

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
2036BBD4 A4890014	2036BEC4 A4880014

• 

  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.

Graphics

Unused Logo

Unused	Used

There is an unused logo in the files of the game. The colors are more golden instead of silver like on the final version. The font and glow is a bit different as well.

Russian Logo

To do: Find a better screenshot/logo

Unused	Used

This Russian logo can be found in the games files. It has some slight changes from final version, like different text location in "of" part and wrong sign for last letter, "B" insted of "Ь".

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 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

Unused Voice Clips

The file cutscenes.EN.txt has the script for pretty much every cutscene in the game. This also includes a few ton of voice clips that aren't used in the game.

Note that the clips are also translated into the 5 other languages in the PAL version, but they're not worth noting here because y'know... English.

All of the unused voice clips can be found inside the DATA_P2.rkv archive.

	Hey, wait up!
	Get back here!
	Where'd you go?
	This is awesome!
	I never knew!
	Thanks for the encouragement.
	What kind of sidekick are you?
	Don't worry, I'll get it.
	Yeah, maybe this flying thing ain't for me.
	How's that?
	Nooo problem.
	Woo-hooo!
	Yes!
	Man, this flying thing is exhausting.
	Wow, I'm beat.
	I can barely stay afloat.
	Sparx, I'm about to pass out.
	Did I ever mention I was afraid of heights?
	Not good, not good!
	How the heck do I land?!
	Comin' in too fast!
	This doens't look good.
	INCOMING!
	Thanks, Mr. Obvious.
	Do you think I don't see her?
	Pipe down, would ya?
	I know, I know.
	You're not helping.
	Thanks for the encouragement.

One very interesting thing is that the "How's that" line is spelled "How that's" in the script cutscene scripts file mentioned above.

	This is just what I need.
	I think I have the strength to go on.
	Phew!
	Ah, that's better.
	That hit the spot!
	Ooh yeah!
	I feel weak...
	One more hit and I'm done for!
	Hope I don't get hurt any more.
	I'm sore all over!
	My throat feels a bit dry.
	I feel a bit drained.
	I don't have much fire left in me.
	Woohoo!
	I feel stronger!
	Look out, world!
	Awesome!

	Let's do it!
	Hee-yaa!
	Ha!
	Yeah!
	Whoo!
	Ah!
	You're toast!
	Take that!
	Hey Sparx, you can come out now!
	You lose!
	Oh yeah!
	Too easy!
	Whoo!
	Yeah!
	I can't go on.
	It's getting dark...
	I just need a rest...
	Uh oh... nap time.
	This is too much.
	Aaagh, no!
	Ready?
	I guess I'll have to try harder.
	I can see what I have to do, I just need to get better at it.
	I need more practice.
	I'll try again. Almost had it...
	I'll try harder this time!
	Ok, I'm ready! This time for sure.
	Alright, I should do better now.
	Hmm.
	OK!
	I guess I can only get better!
	Mmm, I think I'll try a different strategy.
	That was excellent!
	That was great fun!
	Wow, I actually won! Awesome!
	YEAH!
	C'mn, give me a bigger challenge!
	Wow, that was amazing!
	I feel like I can do anything right now!
	This is the best feeling in the world!
	How cool was that, Sparx!
	Check that out!
	That wasn't too hard... well, maybe... a little.
	I've done it!
	I made it!
	I did it!
	Now onto the next challenge!
	Phew, finally!
	How's that?
	Oh yeah!
	The master...
	WHOO!
	Wait 'till I tell the folks about this!
