Hacking The Gyrostarr Config File (CDGame.txt)

Dteyn · Jul 2, 2009

I've been following the thread about hacking The Conduit's CDGame.txt pretty closely, as I find the topic quite interesting from a tinkering point of view.

I noticed this post by nano351:

BTW guys The Conduit is not the first wii game that HVS made with quantum 3 engine. Three of their wiiware titles have included it:
Evasive Space
High Voltage Hot Rod Show
Gyrostarr

maybe someone should see if there's some type of config files in those as well.

So I thought I'd give it a shot! I unpacked the Gyrostarr wad, extracted 00000002.app, and the following files are inside:

Code:

99_00.gcm 99_00.gcs 99_01.gcs 99_09.gcm 99_09.gcs 99_99.gcs CDGame.txt home.csv network.csv OperationsGuide.tpl OperationsGuideFR.tpl OperationsGuideSP.tpl

Notice CDGame.txt? Because this game uses the same engine, it also has the same style of config file. Lets take a peek, shall we?

I haven't even played the game Gyrostarr yet, I'm just about to hop onto the Wii shop and buy it and give it a go. It will be neat to see what is possible (if anything) by tinkering with the CDGame.txt file. One thing that looks pretty neat is "OFFER_MULTIPLAYER" (Turn on multiplayer game). I wouldn't get any hopes up though, like we found out with The Conduit many of these options might not do anything.

This also opens up some interesting possibilities, for example what happens if you put the .gcm/.gcs files from the WiiWare games into The Conduit? What happens if you put files from The Conduit into one of the WiiWare games.... hmm lots of stuff to tinker with!

For anyone interested in tinkering, you need HowardC's U8Tool as well as wwpacker (or some other WAD unpacker). Unpack the WAD and then use U8Tool to extract 00000002.app. As usual, you should have BootMii or preloader installed in case the wad gets messed up and happens to brick your Wii.

I don't have the wads for Evasive Space or High Voltage Hot Rod Show, maybe I'll buy those ones too so I can extract the WAD and tinker around with them too. I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that they also have CDGame.txt files, as per nano351's suggestion.

Let the fun begin!

Edit: Here is what is inside each .app file inside the Gyrostarr WAD:

00000000.app - Title, banner, icon
00000001.app - Game executable (cannot be unpacked)
00000002.app - Game data / config file
00000003.app - HomeButton2, HomeButton3 files
00000004.app - HomeButtonSe - more Home Button stuff
00000005.app - HomeButton3 - even more Home Button stuff
00000006.app - Another executable (cannot be unpacked)

So really, the only interesting info is inside 00000002.app.

I wonder if their future games will have it?

Probably not, but it'd be sweet if it did.

conduit will work from the dvd drive .....wii sports resort is the only game I have ever had to use the usb loader in order for it to work ......I used wii scrubber on wsr which shrunk it ot 690mb then loaded it onto a thumb drive , and it worked , the thumb drive was wbfs formatted

Notice the game version. The gyrostarr engine may be incomplete(just has what the game needs? Less? more?) unlike The Conduit(can anyone confirm that it doesn't say prototype too?). And the map files,the format may have changed between these 2 games,and may corrupt save/data or crash. Once i get The Conduit, I'll try copying some map files into the gyrostarr wad.

Dteyn · Jul 2, 2009

Yeah, I have a feeling it'll just crash the game too, it's not like the game engines are similar. Still, it would be interesting nevertheless.

I just played Gyrostarr for the first time, it's not a bad game.. but not the greatest game either. I wonder if tweaking the CDGame.txt file will yield any interesting results? I'm about to try all the debug stuff, I'll post back with results.

LEVEL_SELECT ON // Level select on/off

This works, it allows you to select levels 1-50 as well as the following hidden levels if you have debug_cheats_active enabled:
51 - Test final win sequence - Secret Test Level for debug_cheats_active (shows the ending graphics/etc and rolls the game credits)
52 - Test end of level sequence - Secret Test Level for debug_cheats_active (shows the standard end of level graphics/etc)

Dteyn · Jul 2, 2009

Enabling DEBUG_CHEATS enables the in-game cheat menu, by pressing the - (minus) button it will display the following options and allow you to edit them. Pressing the + button will change between the different pages of options (and there are MANY):

Main

Strat Names (on/OFF)
Wad Info (on/OFF)
Memory Usage (on/OFF)
Memory Info (on/OFF)
Raycasts (on/OFF)
Screenprints (on/OFF)
Collision Spheres (on/OFF)
Increased Energy % track done (0.500)
Increased Energy % divisor (1.000)
Increased Energy % max diff (5.000)
Critical Energy % track done (0.000)
Critical Energy % divisor (1.000)
Speed Lines Irngth (sic) (220.000)
Global Shot Burst Tweaker (1.000)
Global Shot Speed Tweaker (2.000)
How Long a shot lives (6.000)
Enemy damaged flash time (0.070)
Enemy damaged flashes per sec (4.000)
Time to stay dead (1.500)
Time to stay dead 0 energy (4.000)
Time to flash after spawn (4.000)
Dev Tweaker value (0.000)
Speed Debug (on/OFF)
Enemy Spawner (ON/off)
Distance ahead for warpgate (200.000)
Maximum Bonus Track Speed (800.000)
Maximum Track Speed (600.000)

Okay, I'm not going to list the rest because there are literally HUNDREDS of options to change. It's amazing the level of customization that is available through this debug menu. Pressing - and + in the debug menu allows you to change through the following pages:

Main (all options listed above)
Camera (general camera settings - tons of stuff)
Camera Intro (settings for the intro camera I'm guessing)
Camera Outro (settings for the ending scene camera)
Controller (all kinds of settings for Wiimote options, tilt, nunchuk, etc)
Lights (ambient and directional lighting options)
Select Enemy Type (allows you to edit the stats/characteristics of any enemy in the game)
Player (lots of settings like shot burst cooldown time, number of shots per burst, shot speed, all kinds of very cool gameplay settings)
Grapple (seems to be settings related to how the car interacts with the track)
Spawner (control how fast/many enemies are spawned etc)
Power Ups 1 (modify what each power up does, how many appear, etc)
Power Upts 2 (even more power up settings)
Projectiles (settings for all of the projectiles in the game such as your shots and enemy shots)

Each page has between 10-30 options, it's amazing how many options this opens up!!

If these settings could be somehow hardwired, someone could almost make a souped up version of this game, with faster races, more bullets, harder enemies, etc. The amount of flexibility is incredible!

I cleaned up the Gyrostarr CDGame.txt file a bit, this is still all the original stuff, with the comments slightly edited, but all the settings are original. I used TextPad's sort feature and block select feature to quickly sort it so it's much more readable. Something the developers should have done, it just makes their job easier.
