Changing order of conversations in the list

Post by lostmushroom »

Hey Tony. Is there a way to manually organise the sort order of your conversations in the list, rather than alphabetically? To keep things easy to understand, I like having the conversations in the order they happen in the story.

Using the sort by title option, I've been naming things with a letter in front to get them to show up in the order I want:
A. First meeting with X
B. Talk to X again
C. Get quest from X

But I'm wondering if there's a correct way of doing this since it can get awkward if I need to add a conversation in between.

Thanks (:

Hi,

In the Dialogue Editor's Conversations section, select Menu > Outline mode. Then you can drag the conversation titles up and down in the list.

Glad to help! You can also use Outline mode for bulk operations such as deleting several conversations at once, or moving blocks of conversations around. Tick the checkboxes next to the conversations to operate on them in bulk.
