it looks like they used a script to generate some enum/include files from CSV files, but they accidentally left one as excel

I'm trying the old VN trick where you rename files around, right? There's a leftover debug model viewer in this engine, supposedly. But here's the problem: The filename for level 1 is 2 bytes too short to let me overwrite it with the filename for the model viewer.so I gotta get to "day 2" in the Cory in the House DS game.

every time I enter a new level I have to go see if the filename will be long enough to let me paste in "maps/levels/Art_Test_Bed/Model_viewer.mapdef"but NOPE!

@foone I assume these files are compressed in a package? could you just null out the last two characters in the filename with a hex editor in whatever it's using to lookup then use the shortened name in-engine to open the path?

good news: I was successful and got into the model viewer.bad news: I'm loaded in frozen and can't do anything with it

I probably need to load it in a different context. probably having it be the first level loaded when you start the game is leaving me in a stuck state because it expects dialogue to play
