Hidden Menu Option?
« on: January 11, 2010, 11:07:15 PM »
Open the main menu, and press "d". Anyone know what this is? The run script selection appears to let you force a dll to open. I tried searching the forums for info on it, but I found nothing.

That was added in by whomever it is that patches the game.  The forum thread has long since gone to archive/garbage.

Yeah that was an old debug menu that Hacker reactivated. Apparently it was found using a resource editor, so he went looking for a way to re-enable it. It's somewhat useful for testing new levels, although, you can get funny things happening with the victory conditions.

unfortunately, there's no actual AI, so you can't use it for player vs computer on multiplayer maps, lol
