Well, I've been reading any ascii I can find in Dreamfall's files, and I've found some interesting, as well as very amusing stuff. I've been doing it to see if I can activate any cheats (specifically, noclipping or a free camera), in addition to working out how to impliment the texture pack. I thought I'd start this thread to share some of the more interesting and amusing finds with you. They'll probably be edited for readability, a little.

Hi, I'm Zoe.
I'm Zoe too, but I have sexy clothes.
How old are you?
What are your sexual orientation?
I will not answer that question, thank you.
Why won't you tell me about your sexual attitude.

Ok, thats it! This conversation is over!

Requested the skywalk to move down.
Requested the skywalk to move to the top.
Executed the fly camera sequence. That is the sequence where the camera shows the level, fly past the skywalk, then zoom down on the grubber to give a good view of him from all sides. Hopefully you enjoyed this small sequence and will visit us again for such a thrilling funride. Arnleif.

Arnleif is a programmer, by the way.

Give the masses more tidbits of this curious and confusing sort of game internals, Pirateguybrush?

Also, please explain wtf all this stuff means. X_X

It's stuff the cinematics team and programmers have put in the code while they're working. The "sexy clothes" thing is probably a test conversation. Normally meant for internal use only, but occasionally people dig it out of the files, so designers have to be careful what goes in there.

EDIT: Gawd, this is an old thread.

It's funny, Padme and I asked about the "OH NOES!" when we visited Funcom. Nothing that revealing was said (though I couldn't say if it was), but it was a bit of an amusing "oops" moment for the programmers we were chatting to.
