Internal Inventory Item Names and Indexes from the Debug Menu#

The following is a table comparing the in-game inventory item database with those accessible using the debug menu from the "debugFeature" class in script file #63008. The internal list notably includes three inventory items which were written out of the game entirely: attempting to inspect the dummied items below will crash the game because the corresponding graphics were removed. Only two items are unobtainable using the menu; the "Electric Alien" and the "Secret Document" were most likely programmed after the list was compiled and never updated. The fourth dummied item "SHRED" is also absent.
