ini refers to the file type which it should be saved by as default. Often times people will say 'save as lang.ini'. Save as type will probably appear as notepad, that's fine. Once you finish editing whatever text you like, you'll want to Save As and rename lang-example to just 'lang'. Additional ones will not appear in-game if you add new lines. Starting at all the way to the end of the notepad is a list of everything that can be edited in-game. What you'll want to do is open it up(with notepad) and voila! There is all editable text in base NT. If you have not text edited yet, you will only have lang-example. What you'll want to do is right click on Nuclear Throne from your steam library -> click on properties -> click on the Local Files tab -> Browse Local Files.įrom there you should see something resembling this: These can be found in the text files and/or the graphic files, so be aware that these are just filler and are not actually a part of the base game, just exists in the games code!Įditing your text files is probably one of the easiest things to do in the game. There is an object called 'New Cave Thing' that is an unused placeholder prop/enemy, 'mine' that refers to unused mine hazards, and 'big fish' that refers to an unused Oasis boss. Secret areas are numbered starting at 100 to signify being different, with 100 being the Crown Vault, 101 being the Oasis, 102 being Pizza Sewers, 103 being Y.V.'s Mansion, 104 being Cursed Crystal Caves, 105 being Jungle, 106 being IDPD HQ, and 107 being Y.V.'s crib.įinally, there are some unused assets in the game(besides playable Cuz). Cuz has many in-game information related to him being a character, however he is not actually programmed in to be playable and only seems to have been planned.Īreas are numbered as well with 0 being the Campfire(where you fight Throne 2), 1 being the Desert, 2 Sewers, 3 Scrapyards, 4 Crystal Caves, 5 Frozen City, 6 Labs, and 7 being The Palace. 0 is Random, 1 is Fish, 2 is Crystal, 3 is Eyes, 4 is Melting, 5 is Plant, 6 is Yung Venuz, 7 is Steroids, 8 is Robot, 9 is Chicken, 10 is Rebel, 11 is Horror, 12 is Rogue, 13 is Big Dog, 14 is Skeleton, 15 is Frog, and 16 is Cuz. Here is a brief overview of how they're numbered, which is important for Text and some Sound editing Characters are referred to as Race and Places are referred to as Area. Make sure to back up your save file in general, but also if this is the first time editing these things, especially for sprite editing!įirst, as a brief overview everything is numbered.

This guide contains spoilers for all characters and areas in the game. As long as there are no mods, any edits to NT can count towards records and so on! They are pretty fun to mess around with, so I plan to share how you can edit any text in the game, any images in the game, and any pictures in the game. Instructions for this, however, are available all over internet and are legitimate and legal so removing them would be pointless.Hello everyone! People seem to be interested in the NT discord often about editing Vanilla NT, so I decided to make a guide briefing over how to edit everything in base NT.

I'll strip down the code examples even more. I've only provided very tiny snippets of code that have been shown on stream already and that you can't do anything with and this post is provided for educational purposes, but it should be mentioned that you should absolutely not do this to copy Nuclear Throne's code. Sure, you could change this, and experiment with it in hopes that you won't crash, but you won't get very far, and you certainly won't port the entire game to 60 FPS like this.Įdit: I should also note that what I did is very likely illegal in the United States and questionably legal in the rest of the world as this is Vlambeer's intellectual property. And as far as I am aware, there's no way to turn this code back into GML, which would make some sense. Whatever JW coded in the original picture gets pretty much irreversibly converted into this.
