Some years ago I was working on completing the dialogue response pages for SBCG4AP. I did this by playing the game as atrociously as possible waiting for Strong Bad to drop hints or trigger unique error messages for unusual combinations, multiple times to see if he reacted differently if events were done in a different order. I'd like to ask if you have access to the game's source files, is it possible to rip out and examine all the dialogue recorded for the game, or can you only rip the graphics files? -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 00:27, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | Some years ago I was working on completing the dialogue response pages for SBCG4AP.

Thanks
Hey Bleu Ninja, thanks for bringing all those older wiki pages back up to date! Many of them needed more TLC than we realized! It is very much appreciated! --Stux 21:16, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Ripped Game Files
I see that you've updated images related to SBCG4AP by "ripping" the graphics directly from the game instead of relying on low-quality screenshots.
