Leftover Dialogue#

loctext\english\0c50e153 (aid_loctext_ghoulies_dialog_dialogs) has many leftover strings from various builds of the game, most of which were commented out to prevent usage in the game.

CHAPTER ONE#

Cooper was going to say some one-liners if the player chose to beat up Ghouly Amber during Chapter 1 Scene 11.

Cooper	GDIALOGUE_BOY_YEAH	Believe me, this hurts me more than it hurts you!

dialogs__chapter1_scene11_girlputdowns_putdown3
Cooper	GDIALOGUE_BOY_BUILDUP	Trust me, this'll make you a better person in the end!
dialogs__chapter1_scene11_girlputdowns_putdown4
Cooper	GDIALOGUE_BOY_BUILDUP	This is for every time we've had to watch soppy chick flicks instead of the latest action blockbuster!
dialogs__chapter1_scene11_girlputdowns_putdown5
Cooper	GDIALOGUE_BOY_OKAY	Okay, I can stop beating on you now. I seem to have run out of witty one-liners!

CHAPTER TWO#

The only thing of note here is a placeholder line for the storybook.

Speaker	Sound Effect	Text
dialogs__chapter2_scene1_1playcam
Crivens	GDIALOGUE_CRIVENS_THERESHEIS	Chapter 2, by Jove! Insert posh Storybook page here!

CHAPTER THREE#

Some dialogue from Crivens and Ma Soupswill during Chapter 3 that was later replaced.

Speaker	Sound Effect	Text
dialogs__chapter3a_scene2_butlerindistress
Crivens	GDIALOGUE_CRIVENS_CRIVENSFRIGHT	Woe is me! Can anyone save an old codger from these winged monsters?
dialogs__chapter3c_scene6_cookclue
Ma Soupswill	GDIALOGUE_COOK_GENERAL	What's going on? This isn't one of my cookbooks.

EVENTS#

It was originally planned for the player to perform the least amount of damage possible to the room during challenges that display the house-in-half icon. It would later be changed to require the player to not perform any damage at all. Additionally, there was a crude joke removed from the introduction to the mechanic.

Speaker	Sound Effect	Text
dialogs__eventintros_MinimumDamage
Crivens	GDIALOGUE_CRIVENS_STRAIN	Zounds! The house-in-half icon means Sir must cause a minimum amount of DAMAGE to escape the room!
-	GDIALOGUE_CRIVENS_THERESHEIS	If Sir should find himself in a position where the damage amount can't be achieved, The Reaper shall expose himself!
dialogs__eventreminders_MinimumDamage
Crivens	GDIALOGUE_CRIVENS_STRAIN	The house-in-half icon means Sir must cause a minimum amount of DAMAGE to escape the room!

BONUS CHALLENGES#

Some placeholder text for error handling & a leftover from the demo build. [RANK] is to cover all the available options: "platinum", "gold", "silver", "bronze", "none" & "failed".

Speaker	Sound Effect	Text
dialogs__challengeawards__[RANK] dialogs__challengeintros_ dialogs__challengereminder_
Crivens	GDIALOGUE_CRIVENS_THERESHEIS	You have started the challenge without going through the frontend so the proper dialogs wont appear
dialogs__challengeintros_challengelockeddemo
Crivens	GDIALOGUE_CRIVENS_STRAIN	I'm terribly sorry, Sir. This option is not available in this demo!
dialogs__challengeawards_challenge21_none dialogs__challengeawards_challenge21_failed
Baron von Ghoul	GDIALOGUE_BARON_WHAT	What the..? If you see this screen something has gone seriously awry! Inform JAMES THOMAS or STEVE MALPASS immediately!

Challenge 21, "Play it Again, Son!" was also originally supposed to also grant you gold, silver and bronze awards depending on the time it took you to get through the challenge. It always gives you the Platinum one, so these go unseen.

Speaker	Sound Effect	Text
dialogs__challengeawards_challenge21_gold
Baron von Ghoul	GDIALOGUE_BARON_ANGER	Gah! You are pretty good for a girl! You finished with a time of {finaltime} so I must hand over the Gold medal!

Baron von Ghoul	GDIALOGUE_BARON_WHAT	What the..? I'm quite impressed! You clocked the rather decent time of {finaltime} which wins the Silver medal!
dialogs__challengeawards_challenge21_bronze
Baron von Ghoul	GDIALOGUE_BARON_EVILLAUGH	Mwa ha haa! Well, you got through to the bitter end but it took {finaltime} so you only get a Bronze medal!

This features an unused dialog line for Crivens when you broke one of the various breakables in the game as well as some placeholder text.
