New Home

This is a sub-page of Undertale/Unused Text.

Jimmy Hotpants#

It appears the wolf who threw ice in Snowdin would've appeared in the exterior elevator room, as when obj_npc_room is placed there, this dialogue is shown. They ended up not, likely because it wouldn't fit the general atmosphere of New Home too well. Removed by version 1.001-4 (1.05 on PC).

 * From now on, call me
  "Jimmy Hotpants."

Asgore's Bookshelf#

Flavor text intended to appear as the second line when interacting with the bookshelf in the living room of Asgore's house, which goes unused as the first line is mistakenly set to end the dialogue.

English

Japanese

 * (They all seem very worn.)

 * (なにもかも  かなり ふるびている)

Ending Call#

This line, spoken by Sans, was supposed to follow "but we will get out of here." in the dialogue for the "family ending"; however, this line ended up unseen, as the function for changing the text speaker to Papyrus mistakenly overwrites it.

English

Japanese

 * that's a promise.

 * やくそくだ。

This line would've followed "when all of your hope has pretty much been thrown away..." in the "exiled queen ending" with Undyne killed; however, the dialogue block ends right after that line in that situation.

English

Japanese

 * ...

White Credit#

The white credits text for RG01, RG02, and Muffet are never seen, because sparing them necessarily means fulfilling their yellow credit conditions. (The white credits for RG01 and RG02 are identical to their yellow ones, however.) These were specifically added in version 1.001-4 (1.05 on PC), and weren't in the game's initial release.

Missing Credits Name#

This can be seen in the "Fangamer Support + Special Thanks" page since the Nintendo Switch version, but before the Xbox One version, where it gets (presumably mistakenly) overwritten with "Steven Thompson" if you're playing on platforms other than the Xbox One.

Test/Error Messages#

Asgore Face Test#

When a sign is placed in the entrance of Asgore's house (room_asghouse1), the following text likely intended to test Asgore's face is shown. Removed by version 1.001-4 (1.05 on PC).

 * Test one.

 * Test two.

 * Test three.

 * Test four.

Pepis#

A variation on Bepis! Placeholder for the "isn't it your responsibility to do the right thing?" dialogue in Sans's judgement. Removed by version 1.001-4 (1.05 on PC).

"Dirty Hacker" Ending#

Dialogue spoken by Sans for an ending meant to function as an error handler if none of the qualifications for any other endings are met, which cannot be triggered during normal gameplay. The music track "Dogsong" is played while Sans is speaking. Watch on YouTube

Asgore/Alphys error#

A generic error message located in the code that processes the player's response for when Alphys asks the player if they think Toriel and Asgore will get back together, and when Asgore asks the player "Would you like a cup of tea?" during the True Pacifist epilogue. Due to no face being set before the error message, no face is displayed.

English

Japanese

 * Error...

 * エラー…

You've elected me in error#

Placeholder dialogue for Papyrus's response to your answer about being the ambassador to the humans.

English

Japanese

 WOWi, Nice error.

 ウヒョウ! エラーだ!

Sans Dialogue Skips#

Placeholder dialogue for Sans in his fight. It specifically instructs the rest of the dialogue code to immediately proceed to the bullet hell segment.

In a similar fashion, this is placeholder flavor test for Sans's fight; however, here it isn't used by the code for anything.

 * Skipped ahead.

Flowey's Big Boner#

A string located five times in the heart object used in the Photoshop Flowey fight. The first instance of it has an 80 frame pause at the end, equivalent to 2.66 seconds, with all other instances having a 40 frame pause, equivalent to 1.33 seconds (though they all have the characters used to end the dialogue box at the end of them (%%), meaning only one of them would be displayed in-game). It's unsure what they could have been used for, but based on how code for the sixth string (global.msg[5] = "%%%") is used at the end of some of Flowey's dialogue during this section, even when the dialogue doesn't have that many lines, it's likely these were placeholder lines for Flowey.

 * Big boner down the lane 

Asriel readies "ULTIMATE BEPIS"#

A placeholder string for Asriel's dialogue during his final form in the event that you died 5 times, but the counter that checks for this is capped off at 4, making this not be seen.

Ultimate bepis

Asriel ACT Error#

A placeholder error string for the ACT menu during Asriel's final form.
