Please teach me what documentation I need.

Post by Cushion »

Hello.
I'm using dialog system.
The tool is so usefull.
It has many UI templates and functions.
Dialog System is one of the most powerful tools.

But I have one problem.
Let me tell you about the problem.

The problem is that there is too much documentation.
I'm not very good at English, so I can't find the information I need.

There are only three things I want to do.

・Switching portraits from for each conversation.
・Switching conversations according to flags.
・Changing the size and font of text for each conversation.

But there was so much documentation and videos that I was exhausted from translating.
So If you would like, please teach me to the documentation needed to solve these requests.
I'll translate and learn for myself.

I'm sorry for my poor English.
I am bad at English so I might be rude.
I hope you will support me to keep using this wonderful tool.

Hi,

Thank you for using the Dialogue System!

Assign portrait images to the actors. Each portrait will have a number (1, 2, 3, etc.). (Dialogue Editor: Actors)

Use the [pic=#] markup tag or SetPortrait() sequencer command.

See the Conversation Conditions tutorial.

Use different subtitle panels or different dialogue UIs.

To use different subtitle panels:

1. Add more subtitle panels to the dialogue UI. Set the font style and size for each one. Add them to the Standard Dialogue UI's Subtitle Panels list:
