Alright babey lets go, text modding for ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' 1. Just the first one. TNC is weird, Wii is weird, SB is weird (I think? I haven't looked into it), and TR is weird. Maybe later it'll be fully possible but for now, this is what we got.

=={{Icon|Story}} Text Instruction Syntax==
+
:'''Squidward''': Everyone else STAYS! My house had better be repaired quickly! I need my beauty sleep!
−
Text appears in all caps in these scripts, as the game only looks at these characters to render text. Text is always proceeded by a ''t'' command with varying syntax. These commands determine how the text box appears on the screen.
 
−
* tlt# - Text (Left, Top, # lines)
 
−
* trt# - Text (Right, Top, # lines)
 
−
* tlb# - Text (Left, Bottom, # lines)
 
−
* trb# - Text (Right, Bottom, # lines)
 
−
* tc# - Text (Center, # lines) ''[This option will remove the actual text box and simply render the text in the center of the screen.]''
 
  
−
Text also has some indicators that come after the #, but these are all optional.
+
:'''SpongeBob''': You can count on us Squidward! Say, DoodlePants. Which one of us are you going to take along for the adventure?
−
* l - large text
 
−
* c - centered inside the text box
 
  
−
At the end of each line, there is a semicolon (''';'''), indicating a new line. There should be a number (ending with 00) after the last line of text. '''''DO NOT CHANGE THIS''' (unless you know what it means and how to work with it).''

Once you've located the line you'd like to change, simply edit the text, being sure to only use ALL CAPS INSIDE THE TEXT. Make sure you keep the number of lines the same OR change the # in the instruction. As mentioned earlier, make sure your encoding is set to '''shift_jis''' before making your changes.

Once you've made the changes to the file, click the '''Change''' button in the bottom-right corner of the window. There will be no visual feedback. Click on the file you Unpacked earlier, then click '''Pack'''. There will be no visual feedback here either. Finally, click '''Save ROM''' and save your ROM. Hooray! You did it! Boot up your emulator (or load the ROM on your console if you really wanna) and check to make sure your changes stuck. If not, uhhhhh shoot me a message here on the wiki, I'm always around.

The Tutorial is the very first level in Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition. This level, as the name suggests, is a tutorial level and thus cannot be revisited after completion.

Book Icon.png Story

DoodlePants arrives in the Tutorial stage after DoodleBob is drawn back to life and Spongebob gets captured by an army of Doodle Dudes. Throughout this short stage, the player is introduced to basic game mechanics such as basic jumping with the BButton.png Button and attacking with the YButton.png Button, ground pounding by pressing down on the D-Pad upon jumping and using the Stylus to rub away Doodle Scribble among other things.

After progressing through the short level, learning how to navigate and freeing Spongebob, DoodlePants returns to Bikini Bottom to observe the damages done to it.
