Caption

**Captions** (formerly **Subtitles**) are a feature introduced in *Baldi's Basics Plus* and *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*.

## Gameplay

This feature was added as a way to convert sounds and voices into text that the player could see. The captions change in direction and size based on where the sound is coming from and how far the source of the sound is from the player.

## Colors

* Baldi and red `Baldloon`: **Green** or **White**
* Playtime: **Red**
* It's a Bully: **Orange**
* Principal of the Thing: **Blue**
* 1st Prize: **Cyan** or **White**
* Gotta Sweep: **Dark Green**
* Beans: **Pink**
* Mrs. Pomp: **Yellow** or **White**
* Arts and Crafters, Chalkles, Cloudy Copter, The Test, Johnny, Null, `Me`, and other sounds with asterisks (\*) and so on: **White**
* Grappling Hook: **Green**
* Whirlpool: **Light blue**

## List

*Note: Describing sound effects/where the audio plays will be put in parentheses "( )". "`File name`" will appear as a key of the caption, showing that the key has a missing value or the key is currently used in-game instead of the corresponding value. Bold text is what the captioned audio actually sounds like (in case the caption is incorrect) or the corresponding value when the key is currently used in-game instead. Italics describe unused captions.*

## Trivia

### General

* The caption feature was posted in the Twitter and Kickstarter update page before the release of *Baldi's Basics Plus*.

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* Currently, the caption text is not pixelated.
* In the json file, there is a value for `Playtime Instructions`, but it is currently empty.
* Not all the sounds will appear as captions. An example is the whistle sound from the Principal Whistle, although there is a value in the json file.
* Prior to V0.1.2, the Grappling Hook's caption was black. It was changed to green, likely because the audio is made by Baldi, when the broken ruler event starts.
* Since V0.1.3, all the missing captions now only say the file name of the sound.
* Prior to V0.1.5, when the fog event starts, the "8" caption used to show up.
* A file for French captions exists, but it is incomplete and unused as of now.
* mystman12 stated that non-directional captions will be added at the moment captions can tell the player where characters are. These captions were later added in V0.3.3.
* Prior to V0.3.6, captions were called subtitles in the option menu.

## Glitches

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* Prior to V0.1.2, when Principal of the Thing gave the player a 60-second detention, the captions showed 50 seconds instead. This also happened when the player got a 65-second detention. The captions would instead show 99 seconds.
* Prior to V0.1.2, captions would still show up when the player was in the library.
* Prior to V0.3.3, captions did not disappear when pausing the game.
