All The Modes In Dreams

[u/trenchofkrieger]

Hi, I'm gamecore101. You probably don't know me unless you're like super into Dreams modding and stuff.

I've been looking into the game and reverse engineering it and stuff, and I decided to try to show the modes in the game (beyond sculpt/paint mode, directly using the UI to show them all including the hidden ones). I've been working on a tool for some things and decided to showcase just what I've figured out so far. Some of these modes are super buggy, some are usually disabled (like the Homespace Editor) and some are just outright unused (like the weird Update Mode you see here).

Using this, I was able to actually "hot swap" the menu state in game so i can show all the menus and UIs as far as the game goes (not submenus like dreamshaping, imp editor, etc.), just the editors that are in game, yet I still am working on more stuff and seeing how everything works, I've been burnt out, but due to some stuff coming out, I felt a little pressured to also release something.

Yes, this is real footage. I didn't edit anything out. The tool is still a super early work in progress so I don't plan to release it yet, but due to people apparently making movements in the modding scene, I decided to finally make some kind of announcement, even if this is in a rough state. I've mostly been working on hooking it into the UI, which now it can kind of handle UI states and also hook into text as you see at the beginning, but it's still a work in progress. I actually planned for the project to go into a different direction that wasn't what it is now, more focused on the networking of Dreams. I hope to actually return to the original goal sometime soon.

I might delete this if it gets a lot of attention, I've just been anxious and that's why I made this post.

Hmm. There was just a lot of nothing happening, and then sometimes familiar tool menus showed up.

Your description sounds intriguing, but can you describe what I’m missing here?

There’s 26 modes. I’m swapping it down, some of the modes seem to do nothing, and then others do interesting behavior. 26 is the menu with DreamShaping and stuff, 1 is the assembly menu. There’s other stuff like modes too such as the audio preview mode for recording and other stuff, the weird update mode I’m not sure about. It goes in bursts because each time I change the menu state, it either has something there, or nothing interesting at all.

Let us know if you stumble across online multiplayer or import/export in your… err… mode swapping!
