Hey there,

I'm new to speedrunning. To which extent is modifying the prefs.json allowed?

We are trying to figure that out, Ron Gilbert himself said that setting RightMouseButtonSkip is intended, and we do allow it, the one thing that will probably not be allowed is to set lineSpeed to a negative value (which skips text automatically without any input but if you put a value that can compete with RightMouseButtonSkip you get very glitchy dialogues that stay on screen even when the dialogue is over)

There is a guide titled "PREFS.JSON SETTINGS FOR SPEED" that can be helpful for people interested
