Package Scripts

Download.png Download XML files
File: Spongebob-Lights-camera-pants-xmlfiles.rar (Compressed: 254k Uncompressed: 3MB) (info)

A number of XML files are present in the root folder from the GameCube release, which were used to specify which assets were included in each of the package files.

Configuration File

Boot.gm is the boot config file, located in the boot.pak archive.

It contains a lot of variables. There's even a debug mode, which was disabled, and a bunch of information about a debug console. Most of the options are commented, which makes it easy to understand.

Debug Mode

There are several instances where code for a debug mode was created, but was never used for the final build.

 global g_debugMode = false;  // debug tools can key off this. When "true" debug objects should be active. "false" for release build.

 yield();
       DebugText(DPrintData.x, DPrintData.y, DPrintData.text);
