Unused Sounds#

Some audio files are mentioned in the audio list but never get used in the game's code, mostly being sound clips from the episode.

Filename	Audio	Description
char1.ogg
char2.ogg
char3.ogg
dipper_haaam.ogg		Dipper feeling pain.
dipper_haarr.ogg		Dipper feeling pain again, but harder.
mable_humm-hummm.ogg		Mabel probably giving her best hug to something, probably Waddles.
mable_im-mable.ogg		Mabel introducing herself.
tic_tac.ogg		The name speaks for itself.
stan_1.ogg		Grunkle Stan grunting.
soos_totorow.ogg		Soos doing Soos things. Added in version 2.
waddles_oinc3.ogg		Waddles squealing, perhaps it was meant to be another of his screams.

Debugging Material#

To do:
More debug tools, animation player, effect player, HUD setup, scenario viewer (free camera) and workbench (in-game editor?). Can't seem to get them working.

wl.app.settings contains variables for debug flags. Enabling them should be done before bootup, otherwise set the value in wl.app.settings.current instead. On older revisions, substitute wl.app for n and current for o.

Cheat Keys#

To do:
Newer releases do not seem to detect keypresses, but the debug key logic is still usable.

Setting the cheat flag before bootup allows the following cheat keys to be used during gameplay.

Key	Effect
1	Activates Candy Rain.
2	Activates Super Waddles.
3	Adds a time machine.
Space	Sets the delta scale to 0.1 or 1.
A	Sets the next assist character to Grunkle Stan.
S	Sets the next assist character to Candy and Grenda.
D	Sets the next assist character to Pacifica.
F	Sets the next assist character to Soos.
G	Sets the next assist character to Wendy.
H	Sets the next assist character to Dipper.
Q	Increases the delta scale by 0.1, speeding up the game flow.
W	Decreases the delta scale by 0.1, slowing down the game flow, does not go beyond 0.

Hitbox Display#

Setting the debug flag before bootup displays hitboxes of food and character interactions.

Sound Naming Oddities#

The sound files for Mabel's lines usually start with mable, It isn't the case for the below sounds as they are all sounds of Wendy.

mable_gaaah.ogg
mable_jackpot.ogg
mable_ohoh-awesome.ogg
