"Number"	0	1	2	3	4	5

Screenshot	Code	Effect
	0 0 1	Shows chances of scoring in the centre of the HUD screen when shooting a ball.
	1 0 0	Show hotspot
	1 1 1	Enables tournament mode
	1 2 1	Makes it snow on outdoor courts.
	1 2 3	Adds fog to outdoor courts.
	1 2 3	Adds "swamp fog" to outdoor courts.
	1 2 3	Adds thick fog to outdoor courts.
	1 2 3	Adds "night fog" to outdoor courts.
