Subtitles#

From this game onwards, Humongous titles removed the in-game option to turn on subtitles. The subtitles themselves are still present, though, and can be enabled by adding TextOn=1 to hegames.ini. This also works in most future games.

Since most people would never see the subtitles, the developers apparently stopped bothering to proofread them or keep them updated with later revisions to the script, resulting in frequent typos and occasional disparities between subtitles and dialogue.

Error Handlers and Unused Text#

AAAAAAAAAA! Help! No Room!

Displayed when the game doesn't have a way to handle a particular room transition. Specifically, many rooms are configured based on the last room the player was in. If the old room isn't internally "connected" to the new room, the game doesn't know what to do and gives this error.

Help File#

The PUTTZOO.HLP help file contains several unlisted pages containing information on the secret hegames.ini entries. The pages are unindexed and unreferenced, meaning the only way to see them is to specifically look them up with the "Find" function.

"Cool INI entries"#

Try adding the following entries to HEGAMES.INI for some fun!

IAmTheMoose
Set this to 71595, then go see the Joke Birds in Jungleland.

ICanDrive
Set this to 71595, then check out the scrapbook at the end of the game.

Gibbon
Set this to 71595, then go see the Rhymin' Monkeys.

MoveInHerds
Set this to 71595, then go to the Observation Point for an inside joke.

"Cool INI Entries Part 2"#

UpChuck
Set this to 71595, then have Putt-Putt eat more cotton candy than he should.

HolyMoley
Set this to 71595, then go see the mole?

AutoPlay=<number>
the number is the number of frames to wait before activating autoplay, in tenths of seconds (600 = 1 minute...
I have mine set to 6000, ten minutes)

AutoPlayTouchDoors=<number>
This is the percentage chance that Putt will touch a door... 0 will keep him in the room forever,
100 will move him around quite a bit. 25 may be a realistic real-user average.
