In Staxel, *.dialoguepool files are used to specify a collection of dialogues which are to be played together. These files also contain a type property to describe what type of dialogues are collected.

= Creating a *.dialoguepool file =

Creating an dialogue pool is fairly easy once you have created a dialogue, due to dialogue pools being more of a collection of other files. The full file looks like;
<pre>
{
  "code" : "mods.modname.dialoguepools.dialoguepoolname",
  "type" : "Personality",
  "dialogue" : [
    "mods.modname.dialogue.dialoguename"
  ]
}
</pre>

The property "type" can only contain special values, [[%"type"|listed below]]. Otherwise the rest should be explanatory. Once this is done, you can add it to your [[Villager Personalities


= Config Options =
== "code" ==
'''Valid options (String): <code>A unique string which species what this object is.</code>'''

'''Default Value:''' No default value is specified. Always need to provide your own.


A string containing the code of the item the blob will be referring to.


== "dialogue" ==
'''Valid options (List of strings): <code>A list of strings which point to a [[Dialogues|Dialogue]] code each.</code>'''

'''Default Value:''' Null or nothing specified.


This is a list of strings that point towards the dialogues which will be selected when this pool is used.


== "type" ==
'''Valid options (String): <code>One of the following options: Greeting, General, Weather, Evening, Morning, Personality, Quest, Theft, Leaving, Job, WorkPlaceMissing, Unemployed</code>'''

This string chooses the type of dialogue and how the game should handle it. Some sections will require a certain type of dialogue or will crash.
