Shrek 2 (Windows)

The Windows version of Shrek 2 is the first official Unreal Engine 2 Shrek-themed platformer/beat 'em up game.

Most content can be found or accessed through the use of cheat codes, memory hacking, UTPT (viewed with the Lineage 2 setting; can roughly view code) or a patched version of the Unreal Runtime 2 editor.

Audio	Notes
3_The_Hunt	Going off what we know from Shrek 2: Team Action, it's safe to assume this would be used in a Hamlet-style level. The name doesn't suggest this at all though, and would suggest it would've played somewhere in Hunt. Now where this would've played in Hunt is unknown, but there is a chance it would've played as the music for when Puss in Boots shows himself.
3_The_Hunt_PIBFight	This is an alternate music track for when the player fights Puss in Boots.
7_Prison_Donkey	Despite the name of the tracks, these are not the main music tracks that are played during these levels. While these are definitely prison-themed, they were never used in the final game and each character had a different prison theme.
8_Prison_PIB
9_Prison_Shrek
cutscene_DriveThru_donut01	You may know that when you walk up to the drive through in this game, you will usually hear a jingle. These music pieces were the original jingles. This also keeps a bit of a beat in the background, which would've been good shopping music. This was cut most likely due to issues with getting the main music to fade in and out properly with these jingles without them feeling odd or jarring.
cutscene_DriveThru_donut02
FGM_drivethru_background_processed
PNB_stinger3	Puss in Boots has four music stingers related to him. The developers didn't use this one, though.

Empty#

Several music files are empty. It's unclear if they had any music at some point of development.

Unused Sounds#

This page or section needs more audio.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this.
Specifically: All of these should be ripped from the files instead of just via a YouTube video. Put them in a sub-page if there's too many.

Unused Areas#

Poison Apple Secret Room#

Watch on YouTubeThe game has an unused Poison Apple bar hidden in two of the game maps. Its almost completely untextured version is hidden on the first Swamp level, but it has some goods to collect. A textured version is present on the Donkey escape part of the Fairy Potion Lab level. It has no collectible items and you would get to that room using a secret door. This door wasn't finished. If you cause the event donkey_door that was supposed to open the door - it'll only move the poster on that door, but not the door itself.

FGM Commercial In-Game#

There are several out of bounds room on the first Swamp level, looks like initially FGM Commercial could be made as an in-game cutscene instead of a cartoon-like video.

Unused Potions#

Watch on YouTube Watch on YouTubeThere's a couple of unused potions. One of them would summon save game fairies to fight enemies. The other one simply turns enemies into white mice.

Unused Text#

Harry Potter Menu (Button Text)#

Found within the files are numerous leftovers from KnowWonder's Harry Potter games.

Text	Notes
`CommonText_2=Test Controls_0001=To jump: Press Control key or Right Mouse Button. Controls_0002=To jump: Controls_0003=Press Control key or Right Mouse Button. Controls_0004=You can select AutoJump from the Options Menu. Controls_0007=Press Escape to view Main Menu.`
`InGameMenu_0022=Health`	Your health stats would've likely been viewable through the pause menu
`InGameMenu_0027=Objective InGameMenu_0028=Objectives InGameMenu_0031=Camera InGameMenu_0032=Auto Center Camera`	This and the button text below this prove that objectives would've been a thing before, similar to Shrek 2: Team Action
`MainMenu_11=Sound and Video Options MainMenu_12=Exit Game MainMenu_13=Return to Game MainMenu_14=Game Options menuitems_10=ALL UNSAVED PROGRESS WILL BE LOST.`
`menuitems_164=Inventory`	Since the only thing closely resembling this is the potion inventory menu, we can assume you could view your current amount of every potion in the pause menu.
`menuitems_166=Reset menuitems_167=Reset the key mappings to original settings`	This was scrapped likely because the developers ran out of time.
`menuitems_169=You must assign controls in all the "Game" boxes before you can play the game. menuitems_170=Changing the game's video settings may result in temporary graphical corruptions. menuitems_171=These will clear up as soon as you leave the Video Options screen.`
`menuitems_23=SKIP CUTSCENE`	Maybe your cursor would be visible during all cutscenes and you could click a button to skip it, or this could mean that this text would appear in a corner if the cutscene is skippable (if this was the case, they likely removed it due to almost every cutscene in the game being skippable).
`menuitems_39=VOICES VOLUME`	This was likely scrapped due to time.
`menuitems_41=VIDEO DRIVER`	At one point, you were able to switch between a hardware and software renderer, but this was too hard for them to implement properly.
`menuitems_42=Hardware menuitems_43=Software`
`menuitems_44=FULL SCREEN menuitems_57=Toggle between full screen and windowed`	This would've allowed the user to switch between full screen and windowed on the fly, instead of pressing Alt + Enter.
`menuitems_59=Controls display of non-essential game objects`	Old text for the object detail setting.
`menuitems_61=Adjusts volume of Dialog menuitems_64=View your wanted posters`	This was replaced with a slightly better explanation.
`menuitems_65=Enter the options screen`
`menuitems_81=Bonus Room 1 menuitems_82=Bonus Room 2 menuitems_83=Bonus Room 3 menuitems_84=Bonus Room 4`	This and the next 3 below show that at one point, it was possible to save inside of a bonus world and then come back later. This was completely scrapped later and they instead added an auto-save feature before and after leaving the world. Also, take note of the word "room." This could possibly imply that beanstalk worlds were not planned, since you don't call an outdoor level a room.
`menuitems_90=Placeholder Options text Options_0000=Texture Detail`	These buttons were likely packaged before the developers even started to work on Shrek 2. Nothing under "Options_" can be confirmed to be intended for Shrek 2 at all.
Options_0001=Very High Options_0002=High Options_0003=Medium Options_0004=Very Medium Options_0005=Low Options_0006=Brightness Options_0007=Object Detail Options_0008=Backward Options_0009=Audio Options_0010=Music Volume Options_0011=Sound Volume Options_0012=Controls Options_0013=Mouse Speed Options_0014=Slower Options_0015=Faster Options_0016=Very Low Options_0018=Keyboard Options_0019=Alt Options_0020=Ctrl Options_0021=Right Options_0022=Left Options_0023=Down Options_0024=Options Options_0025=Spacebar Options_0026=Colour Depth Options_0027=Backspace Options_0028=Escape Options_0029=Jump Options_0030=Turn Right Options_0031=Turn Left Options_0032=Forward Options_0033=Resolution Options_0034=Up Options_0035=Invert Mouse Options_0036=In Game Options_0040=Input Options_0041=Sound and Video Options_0042=Misc Options_0044=Video Options_0045=or Options_0046=Auto Jump Options_0047=Confirm Video Settings Change Options_0048=Are you sure you wish to keep these new video settings? Options_0049=Video Settings Change Options_0050=Your previous video settings have been restored. Options_0051=bit Options_0052=Difficulty Options_0053=Easy Options_0054=Medium Options_0055=Hard Options_0056=Very Hard Options_0057=Saving Game Options_0058=Loading Game Options_0059=Use the Arrow Keys to move Options_0060=Push the Up Arrow or W Key to move forward Options_0061=Push the Down Arrow or S Key to move backwards Options_0062=Push the Left and Right Arrows to turn Options_0063=Push the A Key to move to the Left Options_0064=Push the D Key to move to the Right Options_0065=General Options_0066=Restore Default Options_0067=Restore Default Settings Options_0068=Restore Settings
`Select_Game_0000=Select a Game Select_Game_0001=Are you sure you want to replace this game? Select_Game_0002=Replace Game Select_Game_0003=Select Saved Game Select_Game_0004=Select New Game Select_Game_0005=Empty Select_Game_0006=Used Select_Game_0007=Are you sure you want to overwrite? Select_Game_0008=Slot 1 Select_Game_0009=Slot 2 Select_Game_0010=Slot 3 Select_Game_0011=Slot 4 Select_Game_0012=Slot 5 Select_Game_0013=Slot 6`	This could imply online co-op (which we know was going to be a thing). How else could a slot be in use.
`Shared_Menu_0001=Resume Game Shared_Menu_0002=Go back to previous screen Shared_Menu_0003=Yes Shared_Menu_0004=No Shared_Menu_0005=Okay Shared_Menu_0006=Accept Shared_Menu_0007=Decline Shared_Menu_0008=OK`
`Shared_Menu_0009=I can't use this right now. Shared_Menu_0010=I'll have to wait to use this.`	This text in particular is quite interesting. Perhaps this text would've appeared when you try to use a potion while the potion HUD is faded out (same for the one below).
`SkipCS_0001=Skipping cutscene SkipCS_0002=Skip cutscene SkipCS_0003=Press Enter to skip cutscene SkipCS_0004=Cutscene skipped SkipCS_0005=Skipping... SkipCS_0006=Skipped`	These buttons here add to the theory that this text would appear in a corner of the screen in every cutscene.

Debug Mode#

Some Unreal Engine commands are working as is (eg. ghost), you just need to bind them to buttons in User.ini file in the Shrek 2 folder of the common Documents Windows folder. However, to access more dev commands, you need to use Set KWGame.KWVersion bDebugEnabled True | Set SHGame.Version bDebugEnabled True command first. All dev commands will be unlocked after you pressed the button with this command during the gameplay. A full list of commands can be found in the source.

Below you can see the major ones:

Console#

If you want to access the console, use set windowconsole bShowConsole true command. Then you can open it by pressing the ~ button.

Dev Menu#

Command ShowDevMenu opens this menu, where you can load any map from the Maps folder:

Debug Menu#

Repeated Set SHGame.Version bDebugEnabled True command use also toggles a dev menu with lots of debug commands and options for you to play with.

Free Cam#

Command Deletecam allows to explore the game in a free camera mode. After enabling it, you can move your camera to any point and place your character at this point by clicking it again.

Standard UE Cheats Oddity#

Sometimes cheats like ghost become inaccessible. It's caused by a bug if you load a save. To make them all available again, use RestartLevel command or simply complete your current level.
