LEGOLAND/Unused Text

LEGOLAND has lots of unused text, most of which refers to content that has been removed from the game.

"legoland.pdb"
C:\legoland\legoland.pdb

At the very end of Legoland.exe there is the file path of a .pdb file, likely leftover from the compilation process.

\graphics\
\graphics\ \graphics\duke\ \graphics\icons\ \graphics\masks\ \graphics\masks\small\ \graphics\models\ \graphics\small\ \graphics\textures\ \graphics\colours.tga

Several graphic-related file paths can also be found in Legoland.exe.

Legoland.icm File Names
Quite a few file names are present in Legoland.icm. Most of them are for files that exist in the final game, but some aren't.

TEMPLE.ODF

Likely was an early name for TEMPLE SLIDE.ODF

LEVEL MAP 1.MAP Fivec.map TRACELEVEL1.MAP DSH LEVEL2.MAP DSH LEVEL4.MAP DSH LEVEL6 V2.MAP DSH level8.map TRACELEVEL3.MAP TRACELEVEL10.MAP Tracelevel5.map TRACELEVEL7.MAP TRACELEVEL9.MAP Fourb.map Fiveb.map

Early file names for several of the game's levels. Interestingly, TRACELEVEL1.MAP is referred to by Template.txt.

D.map EXPLORER.MAP WEST TEST.MAP ANDY TEST.MAP MED TEST.MAP 128.MAP XXTEST.MAP XXX.MAP TESTMAP5.MAP XYZ.MAP SLTEST.MAP placeholder1.map placeholder2.map placeholder3.map placeholder4.map placeholder5.map placeholder6.map placeholder7.map placeholder8.map placeholder9.map placeholder10.map

Names for a large number of placeholder level maps.

TestInt.txt
Test: This is a test interval. There should be 3 lines of text (plus the title).

This was used to test the game's intervals during development.

MAP ONE.txt
MAP ONE This is the interval telling you what you need to do in map one. I hope you like it !

A very early interval for the first level.

final level objectives.txt.txt
Great work Just one more thing to test you on. Now this is the final level and it's a real toughie. But I know you can do it so here's what you have to do. Have good zoning using all the themes. Use lots of different attractions, rides, shops and plants. Save up 500 coins. Don't have anyone hungry or unhappy. Don't forget to fix anything thats broken. Have lots of scenery along the paths. Good luck and make that park a good one.

An early version of "final level objectives.txt", left in due to a typo. Almost identical to the final, except the line about zoning and the 500 coin requirement were removed.

final objective game level nine.txt
Congratulations. You've found all the missing pieces in no time at all. Now see if you can use all the attractions you found to make a great park. Before the final test from the Park Inspector, you'll need to do a few things. Click the flashing arrow to turn the page. Save up 500 coins. Get 30 visitors in the park. Make everyone really happy. Make sure that nobody is hungry. Have loads of scenery along the paths. So have fun and good luck with the park.

An even earlier version of "final level objectives.txt" than the one mentioned above. The requirements seem similar to the other early Level 10 intro, except for a 30 visitors requirement, which was likely removed due to you having no control over how many visitors come.

hints tutorial two.txt
Click the Right Mouse Button to go to QUERY mode. If a Gardener or Mechanic gets stuck just click them to pick them up!

An early version of "tutorial level two hints.txt". It gives different hints than the final version.

Hints1.txt
To change the in-game music press the SHIFT key once, then type one of the following: theme, west, egypt, castle, inca You need to link the entrances and exits of rides (the arrows) with PATHS. You can get rid objects by clicking the ERASER button. To get an overview of your Park, click the map icon. It is very important that you find out how the visitors are, to do this click the QUESTION MARK and click a customer. You can also do this by clicking a visitor with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON. If you get really stuck on a level use these hints to help you! Remember, everything in LEGOLAND is made from real LEGO bricks - if you delete something you get the bricks back.

Either an early version of "tutorial level one hints.txt" or "game level one hints.txt". The first hint is referring to a few of the game's cheat codes.

GameOver.txt
GAME OVER: You failed to pass the park inspector's appraisal and he's closed the park. everyone's out of work. Tilly's destraught, she says that she could run a park better than you. Tracy's applied for a job at Altered Towers, but she thinks that her plastic body may stand against her.

An early version of "Lose.txt". Likely replaced because it's written too negatively for a Lego game. Based on her texture names, Tracy was an early name for J.P., the park's mechanic. Tilly might have been an early name for Rosie, the park's cook.

Breifing1.txt
LEVEL 1 Breifing: My name's Jonathon - I'm the park Duty Manager, and I'll be here to help you to build the greatest LEGOLAND park the world's ever seen. But let's not try to run before we can walk eh? First we have to learn the basics and that's what this level is all about. It's kind of what you might call on-the-job training. Just follow my instructions and pretty soon we'll be wowing those visitors with the hottest attractions they've ever imagined, and all built with good old LEGO System bricks. COOL ! Well, I guess it's time to get stuck in, so click on the Icon down to the right and let's go! Hit it maestro..

An early version of the first tutorial level's briefing. It has several typos and unlike the final version, it doesn't mention what happened in the intro, suggesting that the intro hadn't been made yet at this point in development.

briefing main game2.txt and breifing main game3.txt
MINILAND 2 BRIEFING Blah..Blah..Blah!!!

MINILAND 3 BRIEFING Blah..Blah..Blah!!!

Both of these were probably early briefings for level two and three.

LEGO Chess
In Autorun.exe, there is some text leftover from LEGO Chess, another Krisalis game. The autorun executable from LEGO Chess was likely reused and modified for LEGOLAND.

Several early in-game messages exist in Legoland.exe. They are more specific than their final counterparts. Some of them can be seen in pre-release screenshots (like the one above).

Version Number
00002 LEGOLAND Save Game V0.02

This version number lies inside Legoland.exe.

What the Visitors are Doing
Wandering... Stuck, Routing Point To Point... I can't get on the ride. I'm going on the ride. I can't go on this ride. It's not working. I can't go on this ride. It is full. I've been on everything and I want to go home. I'll go to the %s. The %s is not worth going on. I've just been on the %s. Bloke %d rethinking. Processing your bloke.

As implied by these text strings, visitors used to be more talkative during development.

Menus, Menus and more Menus
SHOPS MENU SCENERY MENU FOOD STORES MENU ATTRACTIONS MENU BUILD MENU

In an early version of the game, the attractions, scenery and shops were categorized by type instead of theme.

Boxes
manbox?? manbox?? manbox?? manbox03 manbox02 manbox01 manbox?? Fanbox?? BoxBloke??

There are several mentions of three kinds of boxes in Legoland.exe, a manbox, a fanbox and a BoxBloke.

Error Messages
Oh no, Not enough RAM for sprite sort list Oh drat, Bad stuff in the sprite sorter

Two error messages appear in Legoland.exe.

Advisor
Exit Advisor BltAdvisor

It's unknown where these strings came from, possibly a development tool.

File Extensions
.MDL .lls .llz

Three lone file extensions can be found floating around in Legoland.exe. Out of all three, only .lls is used by the game. .MDL is a 3D file format used by many different games, programs and rendering software, and could have been used during development. .llz might have been an early version of the .lls format.

CD-ROM
Drive %s contains the correct CD CDFS Getting Info on drive %s Checking all drives (Mask = %d) Please insert the LEGOLAND CD-ROM into drive %s.

Several unused text strings related to the CD drive. The last one is an early version of the "Please insert the CD-ROM" message.

Common Theme
COMMON THEME

Along with the rest of the used themes, this one doesn't show up in the game. It might have been an early version of the LEGOLAND theme.

Text for a debug menu exists in Legoland.exe. It's currently unknown how to access it.
