Debugging Modules

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Is there a way to force these debug modules to load?

Within the game's main data archive (FP.wad), there are numerous unused modules, including two seeming related to debugging: debug_menu.o and debug_config.o. It is currently unclear if it's possible to execute functions within these modules in-game, but strings within these compiled modules give hints about what each of them do.

debug_menu.o

The strings present within debug_menu.o are listed below:

Unused Character Classes

The game contains definitions for two unused classes which can be played as by modifying parts of the game's code: Giant and Death. It also contains some information about a Ninja and Pirate class, although these classes don't seem to be playable even with modifications.

Giant

Definitions for a Giant class which cannot be obtained during regular play are present within the game's code. Notable features of this class include an increased jump height, a faster movement speed, and 6 hearts of health.

It is worth noting that a Giant class was available in Fat Princess as part of the Fat Roles expansion pack.

Death

Definitions for a Death class which cannot be obtained during regular play are present within the game's code. Notable features of this class include a greatly increased jump height, a faster movement speed, 6 hearts of health, rapid health regeneration, and much greater weapon damage and range. This increased damage allows users playing as death to instantly kill all players on the other team.

Ninja & Pirate

The file FP.wad, which contains all the assets for the game, contains two files related to other character classes that aren't playable within the game:

• scripts/classes/siegesettings_ninja.o
• scripts/classes/siegesettings_pirate.o

Unlike the Giant and Death classes, the Ninja and Pirate do not seem to be playable even through hacking, and indeed are not listed within the list of character class IDs (see the notes page for a complete listing). Like the Giant class, the Ninja and Pirate classes were available in Fat Princess as part of the Fat Roles expansion pack.
