# Help strings for treadrace.jkl

16001 Open the security door by driving your droid onto the lever.  Change the position of the fulcrum to make the job easier for your droid.
16002 Find the switches that move differnt ramps into place.
16003 Good Job!
16004 Drive your droid across the conveyor belts to the other side.  You might want to push the crates to help your drod get across.  Watch out for the electromagnetic trams!
16005 I must say, this must be a well built droid to have figured out how to get through that last obstacle.
16006 Use the mass driver to launch crates or your droid across the ravine to the other platform.  Try launching some crates first to avoid causing damage to your droid.

G1                  Hi there, I'm Gonk.
G2                       Sure!  I'll meet you at the top of this hill.  Jump off, and I'll follow you onto the lever.  I should be able to hold it down.  I'm very heavy.  
G3                       Goodbye!
G4                       Hello again!

P1A                      Hi there.  Could you help me out?
P1B                      Goodbye.
P1C                      Thanks, Gonk!

#===================

JR0  Hello droid.  May I help you?
JR0A Hello again, droid.  Do you have more questions?
JR01 Do you have any more questions?
JR02 Follow me and I'll show you to the switch.
JR1  Use the mass driver to launch crates or your droid across the ravine to the other platform.  Just a quick word of advice.  You might want to try launching a few crates first and adjusting the angle before you launch your droid.
JR2  Use either of the two switches right here to bring a crate out and place it on the ramp.  You have a choice of 50 or 100kg crates.  You look like you weigh about 100kg...
JR3  You would adjust the angle of the ramp with this switch.
JR4  Press this switch to activate the mass driver.  If you're launching yourself, be sure to get on before the countdown expires!
JR5  Because brown is very in this season.  Brown is the new black, don't you know?
JR6  Bye, Droid!  Good luck!


JAP000 Okay.
JAP001 ????

PDR1 What do I do here?
PDR2 How do I call a crate?
PDR3 How do I adjust the angle of the ramp?
PDR4 How do I launch a crate?
PDR5 Why do you Jawas always wear cloaks?
PDR6 No I think that's it.  Thanks for the tips!  
PDR7 Goodbye.
PDR8 What does this switch do?

Easter Eggs#

In the room prior to meeting the Assassin Droid at the end of Salvage Yard, a ledge with a battery can be seen. Beyond the battery is a wall with missing collision, which leads to a hidden hallway with the name "DOUG" written into the geometry at the end. This is a reference to Doug Shannon, one of the level designers.
