Goat Simulator (Windows)

Goat Simulator
Developer: Coffee Stain Studios Publisher: Coffee Stain Studios Platforms: Windows, Mac OS X Released internationally: April 1, 2014 This game has unused graphics. This game has unused models. This game has unused music. This game has unused sounds. This game has unused text. This game has debugging material. This game has revisional differences.

This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome. Specifically: This page is pretty outdated... This should get some updating. And it the rest of the page is editor meshes and other editor resources THOSE ARE IN EVERY OTHER GAME MADE WITH THE UDK (aka Unreal Engine 3) WHICH MEANS DON'T DOCUMENT THEM!!!

To do: Take a look at the multiple alpha videos from Coffee Stain released on their YouTube channel to see differences.

To do: First released video. Second released video. Third released video. Forth released video.

Goat Simulator originally started as part of a game jam held at Coffee Stain Studios, and it went quite uphill from there, and is intended to be a parody of the entire "simulation" category of games. Basically, you're a goat that wrecks stuff...that's it.

In-Game Console

A console can be triggered with the TAB key and expanded with the ~ (tilde) key. (Or press \ for the expanded console on newer versions of the game) It has an auto-complete feature that makes it easier to browse through commands. The most noteworthy ones are displayed below.

DebugCreatePlayer

Rather than adding more players to the game, it can split the screen up to 4 angles, creating more cameras that are all attached to your goat. The DebugDeletePlayer input does the opposite and removes the "players'" screens.

• 

  DebugCreatePlayer 1

• 

  DebugCreatePlayer 2

• 

  DebugCreatePlayer 3

This function is rather experimental and can lead to some bugs such as having one of the cameras "respawn" and thus losing control of the player (leading to have to close the game manually).

• 

  Frozen goat(s).

• 

  And then the game froze.

Show BOUNDS

Displays bounding boxes for all visible objects in blue and yellow lines.

• 
• 
• 

Show BSP

Toggles Binary Space Partition rendering. It makes a few of the structures like the house below and the Goat Queen access tower invisible.

ON	OFF

Show COLLISION

Toggles collision rendering, detailed with red and green lines for the goat and pink lines for everything else.

• 
• 
• 

Show DECALS

Toggles decals rendering. In-game, it tweaks the display of the pentagram for the Sacrifice quest, amongst other textures.

ON	OFF

Show FOG

Saturates the game's colors. Default is on.

ON	OFF

Show LEVELCOLORATION

Toggles per-level coloration (AKA every single model becomes grey).

Show PATHS

Toggles path rendering.

Show RIGIDBODY

Similar to level coloration, but with colours. It's not listed in the autocomplete for some reason.

•

Show SKELMESHES

Makes the player's and characters' models invisible. Default is on.

ON	OFF

Show TERRAIN

Show Debug

Displays some information including the player's nickname, location, state, health and such.

• 

  Average display.

• 

  When the game breaks.

ShowJuice

Shows placeholder text for a quest.

Plus, there are some inputs for viewing every sound that is played in the game.

  LegacyHUD text.
• Shot: takes a screenshot and saves it as a raw bitmap in "\Documents\My Games\GoatSim\GoatGame\Screenshots\Win32\".

Unused Audio

While the game's overall soundtrack lasts for 10 minutes, there are three additional songs that go unused.

Filename	Audio File	Description
Its_a_Goat_Trap_01.SoundNodeWave		A theme meant to be used at the title screen. The main song, Soft_Get.SoundNodeWave, plays instead.
Tappad_Fullbits01.SoundNodeWave		A little cheerful track, probably meant for the Flappy Goat minigame.
TappadBakonEnVagn.SoundNodeWave		This was used in the recent 1.1 "goat parkour" trailer.

There's some static noise in EditorSounds.upk labeled as WhiteNoise.SoundNodeWave too, and it's the only file on that archive.

Unused Models

There is a handful of meshes located in EditorMeshes.upk and NodeBuddies.upk that were likely used for testing purposes. Some are leftovers from the Unreal SDK.

Test Floor

AnimTreeEd_PreviewFloor.StaticMesh is your average test surface with one of the default textures on. A video of the alpha version shows a similar structure smashed together with the final map.

Axis

Axis_Guide.StaticMesh is exactly what it says on the tin. It has no texture.

Background Cube

BackgroundCube.StaticMesh is a cube with rounded edges using the default texture.

Matinee Cam

MatineeCam_SM.StaticMesh is a movie projector that is used in the Unreal Editor in the creation of cutscenes.

Letters

NodeBuddy_AutoAdjust.StaticMesh and NodeBuddy_AutoAdjustOff.StaticMesh are just A and M in capital letters.

Arrows

There are a few meshes of some arrows of different sizes and shapes. Likewise, there are two models of a chopped arrow and a cut open box each.

• 

  NodeBuddy_Climb.StaticMesh

• 

  NodeBuddy_Mantle.StaticMesh

• 

  NodeBuddy_PerchUp.StaticMesh

• 

  NodeBuddy_CoverSlipLeft.StaticMesh

• 

  NodeBuddy_CoverSlipRight.StaticMesh

Ladder

NodeBuddy_PerchClimb.StaticMesh is an untextured short ladder.

Targets

Two models render a target along with a rectangular block and a sole target that somehow is a pop-up. The first one has a few duplicates with both objects facing in different directions.

• 

  NodeBuddy_LeanLeftM.StaticMesh

• 

  NodeBuddy_PopUp.StaticMesh

SWAT

Two models depict the word SWAT with an arrow pointing to the left/right.

• 

  NodeBuddy_SwatLeft.StaticMesh

• 

  NodeBuddy_SwatLeft.StaticMesh

• 

  NodeBuddy_SwatRight.StaticMesh

• 

  NodeBuddy_SwatRight.StaticMesh

TexProps

A few simple models likely for testing textures.

• 

  A cube with the default texture on.

• 

  A cylinder with untextured sides.

• 

  A flat model slapped with the default texture.

• 

  An untextured sphere.

Miscellaneous

• 

  A block with another default texture on.

• 

  A "forbidden" sign that confusingly tells that something is enabled.

Developer Oversight

If you head over the tunnel in the Low Gravity Testing Facility's direction, you can see a test model just after the tunnel. It's impossible to interact with it since an invisible wall bounces you off.

Unused Graphics

UE3 Leftovers

A massive amount of images that are leftovers from the Unreal Editor and the FaceFX software are scattered through the game's files. These range from icons to startup screens to backgrounds.

CASC_DisabledModule.Texture2D		Some static that doesn't fit the categories above as it is 64x32.
UnrealEdIcons.Texture2D		This set of icons is part of a 512x512 transparent picture, so it has been cropped.

Hidden Dialog Boxes

Two dialog boxes can be viewed with a resource editor in the game's main executable. Its purpose is unknown, and they don't seem to be related to the Unreal devkit.

Engine.int

The text file for the splash screen has the following string that doesn't show up.

[General]
SplashScreen_ThirdPartyCopyrightInfo=bäää

GoatGame.int

The main file for all the game's text has a commented out option for switching coarse language. Even if it is re-enabled, it cannot be used since the Advanced options box overlaps it. A mod exists that restores its functionality.

Revisional Differences

• The v1.0.28026 update renamed the Yoshi Goat mutator to Italian Dinosaur Goat, potentially due to Nintendo sending a copyright notice to Coffee Stain Studios.

Mobile Version

To do: Maybe add some differences between mobile and PC?

Placeholder Cube

There is a placeholder cube in Goat City Bay. Going close to the cube will respawn the player.

Explicit Content?

In GoatSettings.bin, there seems to be a option to enable explicit content. It is unknown how to turn it on.

"CloudStorageEmulation" File

There is a file containing these words:

[CloudStorageEmulation] UpgradeKey=1

It is unknown if it is different between the Android and iOS releases.

To do: What file?

Internal Project Name

The project name for the game is GoatGame according to various folders and filenames.
