NOCD.SI: Difference between revisions

[[NOCD.SI]] is an [[Interleaf File]] played whenever the game cannot find its main assets (usually meaning the CD-ROM is not inserted). It's the only Interleaf file that gets transferred to LEGO Island's install directory, as it (naturally) needs to be accessible without the CD inserted. Its only content is a [[Smacker]] video stream.

When LEGO Island starts up, it checks for <code>Lego\Scripts\Isle\ISLE.SI</code> anywhere it can (usually its current working directory, or for [[LEGO Island Versions|v1.1]], the <code>hdpath</code>, or <code>cdpath</code> values in the registry). If it cannot find it, it plays the Smacker video in NOCD.SI and then exits immediately after.

If it ''does'' find [[ISLE.SI]], it will continue trying to launch as normal, even if the rest of the files are missing. If only ISLE.SI is present, the game will softlock as it fails to find [[INTRO.SI]] (opening cutscene) and then [[INFOMAIN.SI]] (Information Center).

The dialogue in NOCD.SI was originally intended for the CD being ''ejected'' during gameplay, but has been edited and repurposed in NOCD.SI. The original unused voice clip still exists in the game files, revealing the full line to be: '''"Whoops! You have to put the CD back in your computer."''' The version of this line in NOCD.SI crudely edits out the word "back" to change its meaning. Instead, in the final game, ejecting the disc during gameplay causes the game to crash. Perhaps the developers were unable to implement this functionality and the original line would have been used if they could.
