While working with the game files of Masters of the Elements, I found omething exciting hidden in one of the script files: Multiple, undocumented cheat and debug codes.

Well, they were undocumented up until now, so without further ado, but a hefty spoiler warning, let’s see how we can bend the laws of time, train bats, or get infinitely lucky.

Really wild how difficult it is to bag things. My options:

1. Python Bagit lib.
Pro: Straightforward.
Con: Can't use bagger profiles or add metadata fields in a specific order

2. Bagger.
Pros: Profiles! Can edit existing bags!
Cons: Horrible Win95-esque UI, loses timestamps when bagging unless bagging in place, bagging in place scrambles field order & sometimes dies halfway through

3. Dart.
Pros: Profiles! Lovely GUI!
Cons: Can't edit existing bags, no support for tag files

I searched in the abyss of my file system and recovered an old meme I haven't shared with you yet.
