Debug Options

In the below section, inside APP.INI are several debug features that can be enabled by either un-commenting them, or adding them back in the ini file. The PS2 version is blank but you can easily add them back in. Below are codes for the PS2 version of the game that re-enables a couple of these options without modifying your game.

PS2 codes:

EnableDebugMenu
2061B66C 00000001
DisableAI
2061B660 00000001

EnableDebugMenu

This enables a debug menu in the main menu.

Cheats

Allows you to set unlockable states.

Levels

Allows you to select a level. [vistest] is not in the PS2 version.

Show Sample Dialog

Shows test text.

Debug Notes

To do:
See if any of this actually works.

The GameCube version of the game has a file titled app.ini which contains various notes about debugging features. The PS2 version also has a file of the same name, but it doesn't contain any of this text.

Unused Cheats

Present in the game are a couple of unused cheats that have no buttons assigned to them. You can re-enable them with the below codes.

PS2 codes:

Enable "FillMode"
00656D40 0000000?

? can either be a 1 or a 2.

Enable "SlowMo"
2086B280 00000001
2086B288 3E888888

You can also change the 3E888888 to 40000000 to speed up the game. It's not clear what the correct value would be for this. There's also an infinite lives cheat, but it only sets all player lives to 1.

Unused Text

To do:
There's probably lots more.

The "GameText" folder and its subfolders contain all the text in the game. Some of it is unused.

Internal Name

All the files in "Cert" refer to the game as Grim: Destroy Us All (a reference to the episode "Attack of the Clowns"), which may have been a working title.

Global

Global.AIS contains some dummy text.

"DMYTEXT"     Dummy Text
"DMYTITLE"    DUMMY TITLE

Early Mode Descriptions

LvlShare.AIS contains some early descriptions of modes. The final game opts to use more plain descriptions.

"BossTxt"     He wants your brain?  Give him your fist!  Crush the Brain-Eating Meteor!
"PontTxt"     Attack a flag to claim it, and don't let the other players get their grubby mitts on your points!
"KillTxt"     Feel the need.  The need for bleed.  Be the first player to destroy 30 vikings from the relentless horde.
"SurvTxt"     The Vikings are attacking, and you only have one life.  Survive their onslaught for 2 minutes before they DESTROY US ALL!  DESTROY US ALL!  DESTROY US ALL!!
"HELPULT"     Gather the mojo balls and use your ultimate to win!
"HELPULT2"    Attack Mandy to initiate the final elimination!

The file also contains numerous placeholder descriptions for unlockables that weren't implemented. Below is one such example.

"UNLKT11"     TITLE 11
"UNLKD11"     Desc 11

Xbox Version Remnants

The "Cert" folder contains files named XBOX.AIS and Xbox_English.TXT (the latter is only in the GameCube version). An Xbox version was planned but cancelled.

Xbox_English.txt also contains text strings referring to the Xbox.

Please don't turn off your Xbox console
Your Xbox doesn't have enough free blocks to save games.

PC.AIS

There is also a file called PC.AIS, which seems to suggest a Windows port was planned, however it makes no mention of anything PC-related and seems to be based on the PS2 version. That being said, there are some interesting things here.

You have reached the max number of allowed profiles.  Please delete an existing profile before creating a new one.

This message is stored under the string "DMax". You can only have one profile in the final game.

Credits

Location/Credits.AIS does not contain credits, but rather this text repeated three times:

// filler// filler// filler// filler// filler// filler

Cut Mode Names

UI/FeBtlTitle contains the names for each battle mode, including these unused ones:

"DEAFBOSS"    BOSS
"TREASURE"    BURIED TREASURE
"KINGHILL"    KING OF THE HILL
"PROTECT"     PROTECTION

"Boss" implies that originally the player could fight the Brain-Eating Meteor whenever they wanted. It is unknown what the other modes would have been.

Unused Level Name

UI/FeLvlTtl contains the names for all the levels. Among them is "CYCLOPS BOSS" (labeled "Rvrgate4"), implying there was once another boss besides the Brain-Eating Meteor. UI/FeLvlDsc, which contains the descriptions of each level, also includes a string for "Rvrgate4" as well as for Billy's Backyard, though both are blank.

Unused Tutorial Text

UI/FeMsnTtl contains some unused text labeled under "AREA6M1".

TUTORIAL

Likewise, UI/FeMsnDsc contains an unused description under the same string.

Learn the basics so you can fight your way to the top of mission mode.

This implies mission mode would have had a tutorial of some kind.

Early Difficulty Names

Near the start of FeRootUI.AIS are early names for the difficulty levels. The difficulty levels in the final game are Easiest, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hardest.

"HDCPBEGN"    BEGINNER
"HDCPNOVC"    NOVICE
"HDCPNRML"    NORMAL
"HDCPADVN"    ADVANCED
"HDCPEXPT"    EXPERT

Misc.

The beginning of FeRootUI.AIS also contains this line.

SAMPLE TITLE

Developer's Notes

AppInit.JAM, located in the "Jamfiles/(console name)" folder, features an extensive amount of developer's notes and labels for the game's various commands and procedures. While there's way too much to fully document, here are some of the more interesting bits:

Comment(s)	Notes
NOTE: On the PSX2, the right rumble motor is a tweeter and can only be turned on and off. Any intensity greater than 0 will be interpreted as "on" for the PSX2 tweeter. For more information about creating rumble effects see the HowToAddRumbleEffects page on the Lovage Wiki. http://twiki/twiki/bin/view/Lovage/HowToAddRumbleEffects	Notes on adding rumble effects for the PS2 controller. The link listed is no longer online and does not appear to have been archived, though given it lacks a top-level domain (e.g. ".com") it might have been a developer's folder.
"UA_BMom" //Sent when starting BillyMom ultimate all	The list of commands/tags for each character's Mojo Meltdown (referred to as "ultimates" in the file) includes Billy's mom (Gladys) and Mindy in the list. Neither of them are playable or even appear at all in the final game, so it's possible they were cut characters.
"UA_Mindy" //Sent when starting Mindy ultimate all
Massive magic battle parameter	An early name for the "Massive Mojo" parameter.
NOTE: weapons should be arranged from highest to lowest weight, because if the game runs out of a weapon, it tries the next one in the list	Notes for what the game should do if it "runs out of weapons".
Head Games (used to be food is love)	Presumably refers to the "Mo' Health, Mo' Jo" weapon set, given its data-linked to "WSFood" and rather humorous early name.
Sharp pointy themed weapons	Obviously meant for swords and other similar weapons, though no such weapon set exists in the final game. The closest would be the medieval weapon set, which is listed separately under "Medieval themed weapons". Oh well, at least the header's funny.
These are commented out to reduce clutter in Reggie. They are already the default values in code.	This is listed before several distance-related debugging code. It is unknown who "Reggie" is (or what "reducing clutter" in him is supposed to mean).
VFX to play when cookie item we touched chooses to explode	I hate it when that happens.
Leave our body visible after death	The commands for the death animations include this unintentionally morbid label. Even worse, said data link is labeled "LeaveCorpse".
BILLY'S MOM (COOKIIEEES!!)	Another reference to Billy's mom with a silly header.
Automatically re-acquire base weapons we've lost (such as Grim's head)	Apparently Grim's head was a weapon?
"AIActionsVehicle" [...] List of actions the AI brain can select, when we have a VehicleC (character-ish Vehicle, such as chicken loader) as a target	Certain notes refer to "vehicles" and "creatures" the player can mount/ride. The final game only lets you mount Cerberus, though the vehicles probably would have functioned similarly to the turrets, as well as the mech in Clucking Doom.
Mount a creature / vehicle
Drink an object	Likely refers to the health pickups, though it's rather oddly worded.
Eat an object (old implementation)

//				EXAMPLE ON HOW TO ADD A NEW CHEAT CODE
//
//	The cheat code has a specific format the must be followed in order for it to be
//	read in correctly from the app's tokenizer.  This format is as follows...
//
//	Cheat		/*followed by the shortname (8 characters max) of the cheat*/
//	IsDebugCheat	/*1 if this cheat is meant for debug use only, 0 and the cheat is available in all builds*/
//	MaxInputTime	/*the maximum time in milliseconds the user has to enter the cheat code*/
//	NumInputs	/*the number of inputs for the cheat*/
//	Inputs		/*list of inputs for the cheat*/
//
//	Some notes on input.  For a key press you need to enter the code for the key twice;
//	once for the push down of the button and once more for the release.  The reason we
//	decided to handle things this way was so that one can easily use codes that require
//	a button to be held down follwed by a series of key presses.  For a key that you require
//	to be held down, simply enter the code for the key once; for the push down.
//
//	Say we want a cheat code where the LeftTrigger is held down and then the top, bottom, and
//	right face buttons are pressed.  This code would look like...
//	
//	Cheat		"TestCh"		// This is the name of the cheat
//	IsDebugCheat	0			// This cheat is available in release and debug both
//	MaxInputTime	4000.0			// The user has 4 seconds to input this cheat
//	NumInputs	9			// There are 7 inputs for this cheat
//	Inputs		LeftTrigger FaceButtonTop FaceButtonTop	FaceButtonBottom FaceButtonBottom FaceButtonRight FaceButtonRight	// The user holds down the left trigger and presses the top face button, bottom face button, and right face button
//
//	Once you have added the body of the cheat DON'T FORGET TO INCREMENT THE CHEAT COUNT!
//
//	All thats left after adding the body of the cheat and incrementing the count is
//	to register a static callback function with the cheat code system.  This needs to be 
//	done by a programmer.

Also included in AppInit are rather detailed instructions on creating cheat codes. Unfortunately, almost all of them except for "FPSToggl" (which might not even work anyway) are classified as "debug cheats" with no actual commands.

Note how the Xbox button commands are still included, as well as the PC, which still uses the PS2 button layout.

Unused Graphics

eu_bnr

The GameCube version contains a file named eu_bnr.bnr, which is really just the banner used for Codename Kids Next Door: Operation V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E., High Voltage Software's previous Cartoon Network game. It was most likely a placeholder. Interestingly, the GameCube and PS2 versions were never released in Europe; only the Wii version was.

Unused Dialogue

To do:

Are these unused?
- An alternate take of "You lose!" with the echo effect added.
- "You win!"
Let me know if any of these are actually used.

The announcer has a lot of unused lines. Many of them lack the "echo" effect that is used in the final.

Unused Team Names

Results screen announcements for unused team colors. In the final game, the team colors are orange, purple, green, and blue. For whatever reason, the Yellow Team announcements are stored at the end of the file away from the rest of them.

File	Transcript
	Black Team loses!
	Victory! Black Team wins!
	Gold Team loses!
	Victory! Gold Team wins!
	Pink Team loses!
	Victory! Pink Team wins!
	Red Team loses!
	Victory! Red Team wins!
	Yellow Team loses!
	Victory! Yellow Team wins!

Unused Result Announcements

All result announcements in the final game refer to the characters or teams by name.

File	Transcript
	Player 1 loses!
	Victory! Player 1 wins!
	Player 2 loses!
	Victory! Player 2 wins!
	Player 3 loses!
	Victory! Player 3 wins!
	Player 4 loses!
	Victory! Player 4 wins!

Unused Unlock Messages

In the final game, the announcer says "Super secret unlocked!" every time you unlock something.

File	Transcript
	New bonus unlocked! Boogey: Here's Boogey!
	New bonus unlocked! Chicken: (squawks)
	New bonus unlocked! Clown: (honks horn)
	New bonus unlocked! Dracula: When Dracula gonna meet some fine ladies?
	New bonus unlocked! Hoss: I'm Hoss Delgado, spectral exterminator, and you all look spectral to me.
	New bonus unlocked! Jack: I've got a pumpkin for a head!
	New bonus unlocked! Nergal Jr.: I'll eat your skin!
	New bonus unlocked! Nergling: (squeaks)
	New bonus unlocked! Lord Pain: Let's break things! (laughs)
	New bonus unlocked! Pumpkin: (roars)
	New bonus unlocked! Skarr: My name... is General Skarr!
	New bonus unlocked! Viking: YAAARGH!
	New weapon unlocked!
	New mission unlocked!

Menu Announcements

The announcer presumably listing the menu and battle options. Interestingly, these seem to reflect earlier names for modes or modes that were cut entirely, some of which are listed above.

File	Transcript
	Start.
	Battle!
	Hold the Points!
	Survival!
	Dominant Warrior!
	Tag!
	Dodgeball!
	King of the Hill!
	Darwin Mode.
	King Reaper.
	Onslaught!
	Boss Battle!
	Buried Treasure!
	I-ron Man!
	Smash and Grab!
	Ready!
	Battle Mode!

Commentary

These lines suggest that at some point, the announcer would have commentated on the match. In the final, his only comments during the fight are "Player (X) needs ham badly!" when a player is low on health and out of lives.

File	Transcript	Notes
	Welcome to today's fight.
	It's me again, your favorite squid announcer!	This suggests that at one point, the announcer was going to be the Squid Hat, also voiced by Weird Al.
	Bam! That's gonna leave a mark!
	Awesome!
	Five hit combo!	The final game has no combo system, or at least doesn't announce it or inform the player.

Tutorial

To do:
Does the GameCube version have any equivalent dialogue?

It appears the announcer was originally going to narrate the tutorial as well. Sadly, the tutorial is text-only in the final game.

Version Differences

The Wii version, a launch title for the system, was released a few months after the GameCube and PS2 versions. Other than the obligatory new motion controls, there are a few minor differences.

The "beeping" sound effect accompanying the countdown at the start of the fight is oddly missing in the Wii version.
When a match ends via time over or getting the required amount of points, the screen fades to black in the Wii and PS2 versions. The GameCube version does not.

GameCube	Wii

Carl Greenblatt, the voice of Fred Fredburger, is credited by his first name in the credits for the Wii and PS2 versions, while in the GameCube version he is credited by his initials.
The credits have been updated to include the staff that worked on the Wii port. However, due to the longer credits, the game ends up looping back to the first song at the very end.
For whatever reason, the game's "Audio" folder is different across all three versions. The PS2 version has three folders labeled "AMBIENCE", "MUSIC", and "VO", with the latter containing folders for "ANNOUNCER" (self-explanatory) and "STREAM", which contains most of the playable character's lines stored in one big file. The GameCube version only has the "Music" folder. The Wii version contains folders for just about every sound in the game, as well as storing all the characters' lines separately. In addition, the file formats are also different across versions; while all versions contain AOB and other similar files, the PS2 version uses MSA files (the standard PS2 audio format), the GameCube version uses GMD and ".gom" files, and the Wii version uses all manner of files, such as ".fsv" and ".gob".
