(empty)No cameo file is selected and XXICON.SHP is drawn in the slot instead.
The value is a filename without its .SHP extension. A file that cannot be loaded also leaves XXICON.SHP in the cameo slot.
The key is read from the section of the object’s Image ID, so types that share an image share a cameo.
Loading a saved game fetches every cameo again, with two differences. A type whose image section names no cameo, or names XXICON, also looks for the key in the section of its own ObjectType ID. A file that cannot be loaded leaves the cameo blank.
What a cameo shows covers the darkening, clock and captions drawn over it.
