Hello GE users!

It's pyro again back with a 3rd edition of my Dialog engine. This version far exceeds the previous 2 versions in terms of functionality and usuabilty. Here is a list of the features its has.

FEATURES:
(1) Formatted text that types itself out
(2) Text pauses
(3) Text scrolling
(4) Answers + Answer selection
(5) Text highlighting
(6) Variable line display
(7) "Theatre Mode" (blackens all but text, for use in cutscenes)
(8) Key Press Fast-Forward
(9) Line scrolling with arrow keys.
(10) Easier formatting than previous versions.
(11) Text following
(12) GETTING DIALOG FROM FILES (best feature)
(13) etc!




A very large amount of work went into the making of this engine. If used, credit would be appreciated! I got really lazy and unmotivated while writting info on how to use it because I know this is not going to be really used by anyone except maybe myself and Bee-Ant (which asked me to make this dating back several months ago)

Anyways, enjoy!

Excellent! Thanks !

Just like my earlier comment...
"what the hell?"

haha Glad you like it! Please report any bugs you find! I know one or two that can easily happen but can easily be avoided also. Critics are welcome!

Not only you

Wow, I really like this. The ability to write out stuff in a file rather than program it in GE will be very useful. Not to mention being able to customize the background and font. This ought to be stickied or put in a special section on the site for useful functions. I also think I will use this in one of my upcoming games, probably with a little tweaking. Thanks for putting this up!

Zygo

Customizing the looks can take a lot of work but is entirely possible! You will need to change the value of many #define statements according to the new graphical dimensions. If you need help doing this, do ask!

There's a lag when loading the dialog. Trying to fix it now...
In java, reading external text can be done just by

Code: Select all

text(loadStrings("dialog.txt")[index],x,y);

Pyro,do you work on other tool than GE?

Not sure why... If you mean when trying to run the game, I get this also.

-DevC++
-Graphics Gale
-ModPlug tracker
-Starting Game Maker (not abandoning GE, no worries)
-And many smaller tools too

I can see from all the script that this was a lot of work to make, and it shows. Excellent text demo...it should become a permanent part of the GE engine.

I mean programing tool. As well as the programing language.

- C/C++ with DevC++
- Java with no specific tool
- Assembly language with CodeWarrior
