Beta leftovers.

An image that possibly stands in for an incorrectly formatted texture?

Development Leftovers

Debug Console?

fg_lua_console_debug_v2.json appears to be a call for an Lua-based debug console and fg_ads_debug.json is an ADS debugger, with ads_debug_cell_v2.json too, both aren't present in the Windows 8.1 version.

Debug- extensionless mentions debug character unlocking and blacklists.

{"DebugCharacterUnlock":{"ids":["jillian","santa"]},"DebugCharacterUnlockBlacklist":{"ids":["patchesMDeco2","musicStreak"]}}

A button called button_debug.png appears to be a debugging button, with no text inside (unless called by the game) likely calling a debug menu, this function and files is not in the Windows 8.1 version.

Developer Cheats

hud_cheatButton.png is mentioned in fg_hud_v**.json, and it appears to be a developer cheat button with a ! in the middle, it refers to hud_cheatButton, likely calling a or multiple developer cheat menus. The beta and Win8 version also has ui_hud_cheat.json, which appears to be a cheat menu, beta has the oldest and Win8 has the newest file. Win8 also has the files: material_cheat.json with its material_cheat_cell.json and spawn_cheat_cell.json alone.

Unfortunately, the functions to load the button and menu were removed from public releases.

Quest Textbox

quest_icon_cheatBox_bottom/top.png is a quest developer cheat textbox. Unfortunately, it isn't called anywhere in the Win8 or beta version.

Shell Script

rename_2.sh is present in the Windows 8 version.

#!/bin/bash
# 

set -e
set -x


if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
    cd "`dirname "$0"`"
else
    cd "$1"
fi
echo '----------------------------------------------'
pwd


for f in *.caf
do
   
	name=`basename $f .caf`

	mv $f "$name"_2.caf

done
