Debug Strings in AE
 
Found these debug strings (As well as a few more) while I was making ESH. There seem to be references to these strings in the code, but I've failed to actually get them in game. Some are used in DDCheat.

It includes a list of musics, a list of item types (debug menu?), a list of levels different from the one used in the level selection screen, and some debug strings used in DDcheat, and some other strings probably used in a yet discovered debug menu or portion of DDCheat.

Update: These strings are used in DDCheat: No longer sure, but their still used together in the same screen.

Didn't figure out how to access them yet.

Update 2: There used to be 2 debug menus, and they're still coded, but the function that calls them is never called.

%s%02d%02d%02d.tga is used in a screen shot function thats never called. I forced it to be called with the debugger once and it appears to still work.

I have addresses for other debugging functions which are never called, but when I tried forcing them the game instantly crashed. Would the addresses help finding what these menus do?

Possibly, the screen shot function worked cause it takes no arguments etc. If it takes arguments then its a lot more effort since you have to clean down the stack etc :/
