Debug Scenes

This is a sub-page of Splatoon 2.

Debug scenes! Used for... debugging! It seems like EPD compiled Splatoon 2 incorrectly, and ended up leaving both these scenes and executable symbols unstripped all the way from the Global Testfire demo to version 3.1.0. They finally noticed after that point, but it was too late by then. So, now we have all these to play around with!

DbgSetting#

Your standard debug menu. It's more akin to a map select, but it's very extensive, allowing for testing any possible part of the game you could need.

Controls#

To navigate the menu:

Use the L-Stick or the D-Pad to navigate the currently selected box.
Hold Y and move the L-Stick or the D-Pad to change boxes.
Press ZL or ZR to change pages in boxes that have multiple pages.

Additional controls are listed on the top-right of every screen:

Game Configuration Page#

This page allows you to change various configuration options, like the gamemode and stage. Lots of testing stages are listed here! Unfortunately, they cannot be loaded because of missing files.

The game looks for TGA images in /DebugUnderPilot/MapThumbAuto/*.tga, with "*" being the map's filename, to display map thumbnails when hovering over a stage.

FreeTest#

Accessible from DbgSetting by pressing Minus on a map, this unused mode allows one to freely explore the chosen stage.

Differences#

This mode has unique characteristics compared to regular gameplay.

The timer is locked to "nothing" (infinite time), but visually displays as 8:10 because of the default text in the layout file. Because the timer doesn't count down to zero, there doesn't seem to be a way to leave without restarting the software.
No music plays.
No Ranked objects are present in any maps. The game seems to use the stage's Turf War layout.
Automatically generated players are added to both teams. They are named Player0 to Player7 and are set to all defaults (Splattershot, INV000 gear, INV legwear, and ID 0 skin, eye colour, and hair).
The game does not transition to a grey background if you die to an environmental hazard, nor does it list any death reason. You can still control the camera while waiting to respawn.

PlayerViewer#

A debug viewer for Inkling and Octoling players. You can configure gear and animations used on them.

EnemyViewer#

A debug viewer for every "enemy" actor in the game. It allows for testing animations and only viewing specific pieces of an enemy's model.

EnemyViewer_Octa#

A debug viewer for "enemy" actors that specifically appear in the Octo Expansion DLC, likely to view them isolated more easily. Oddly, it won't read the data out of Octo Expansion's romfs and models must be put into the base game's romfs to function.

ObjViewer#

A debug viewer for game objects. It allows for testing animations and only viewing specific pieces of an object's model.

ObjViewer_Octa#

A debug viewer for game objects that specifically appear in the Octo Expansion DLC, likely to view them isolated more easily. Oddly, it won't read the data out of Octo Expansion's romfs and models must be put into the base game's romfs to function.
