The playable world of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is split internally into level files containing different areas, which are then loaded as the player travels between them. The divisions between level files often correspond with what the player perceives as separate locations, but this is not always the case.
Level naming convention[]
In the Eurocom documentation it is stated that "world" prefixes generally use three letters, while "retouched" world levels that are undergoing a second pass start with an underscore and omit a letter, usually the last. For example, the mum Mummy level prefix turns into _mu.
This shows that Mummy levels were tweaked extensively, well into their detailing stage. Exceptions are mum_towr and mum_eyei, which were shipped in a rougher state and look notably different than their "retouched" counterparts.
Level lists[]
Level filenames are usually abbreviated and often refer to an internal name that was later changed during development for the final in-game name. The full original level names are given as tooltips on the filenames.
Final and pre-release levels[]
This is a listing of all the internal level files as used in the final release, and their hashcodes. Also included are some unused levels available in the Authoring Tools, such as the regions of Akaria and Sakkara.
Location names marked with * were removed from the final version of the game. The source files were included with the Authoring Tools and then restored and improved by jmarti856 in the Shadow of Set mod for the PC version. All are still listed in the hashcodes.h file where, due to the nature of hashcodes, their constants appear in the order they were created.
