Thanks! That's a load of worry off my chest.

Hey, I know it's been a while but I'm just now getting around to this particular functionality (had to push it to get some other things done). Will taking manual control of GameTime mess anything up with Dialogue System (I noticed GameTime was under the common PixelCrushers namespace, and so assume ...

Yeah, we were scoping out the indie version (we've got 0 current revenue, making our first game). We've pretty much made the decision to use it, just need to find a new writer as our last one had some life issues and had to attend to those.

Thanks much! We are going to be picking up chatmapper soon, as trying to manage dialogue from writers via excel is kind of a major PITA, heh. Do you happen to know if ChatMapper supports extra fields on a conversation? In DS I added a boolean for "IsEventDialogue" (dialogue which will only...

Hey Toni, I was curious as to what the general guidelines for setting the "Actor" and "Conversant" on the conversation itself should generally be. I know on dialogue nodes, Actor is the object talking, and Conversant is the gameobject being talked to, and I would assume a convers...

Since I'm trying to do some dependency injection on the class I'm creating to do these things (so I can mock and do unit tests) I have quick question: Is the DialogueSystemController property DialogueManager.Instance functionally equivalent to the DialogueManager? I'm assuming it is what the static ...

Yeah, I wasn't expecting it in any short term. We probably won't be putting in that capability for another year or so at a minimum (It's not a thing that's going to be going into the demo we're currently building), and worst case scenario we could just write our own json importer. But since the plan...

It's supported. (BTW, Chat Mapper format is XML, not JSON.) ChatMapper now supports exporting from json http://www.chatmapper.com/features/ Though I'm guessing DS doesn't yet. Got plans for that to be supported eventually? Use DialogueManager.ConversationHasValidEntry() . There are two versions. On...

Thanks for that reply. We're planning on using one DB, or (if it's a supported thing) merging in modded DBs (I'm not entirely sure how we're going to do that yet. We may just output everything to ChatMapper json and load it in, letting mod authors just mess around with json to add dialogue). The sho...

Hey there, So I'm in a position where using the built in conversation trigger components is undesirable. 1) Each NPC can have potentially hundreds of conversations, and having hundreds of different trigger components attached sounds like bad juju. 2) There are other ways a player can interact with a...
