Revision as of 10:18, 16 January 2018

In Staxel, there are two files which are used to specify all villager dialogue in game. These files are the *.dialogue files which point to an associated .json file that was created using Yarn.

*.dialogue File

Creating a *.dialogue File

Creating this file is very simple with only two properties. The full file looks like;

{
  "code" : "mods.modname.village.character.dialogue.CecileFond",
  "dialogue" : "staxel/village/character/dialogue/CecileFond.json"
}

Both properties are self-explanatory. Make sure the dialogue property points to a file that is created by Yarn otherwise some issues can arise.

Config Options

"code"

Valid options (String): A unique string which dialogue what this object is.

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

A string containing the unique identifier of this dialogue. This is commonly only used in Dialogue Pools.

"dialogue"

Valid options (String): A string which contains the path to a Yarn .json file.

Default Value: Null or nothing specified.

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

The Yarn *.json file

Yarn is the program which creates the dialogue files for Staxel. It utilises it's own scripting language which can make choices and also use conditional statements in order to provide the right dialogue. They also include an editor which helps visualise these files.

Look at the documentation around Yarn, particularly sections such as this. Do not Yarn is changing frequently and documentation might not line up with the implementation used in Staxel.

Additional Dialogue Functions

These are additional functions that Staxel offers to integrate the dialogue into the game. They range from functions that do decision making to functions which give and take items and money from the player.

Branching Functions

These functions cause the game to go to a different dialogue when a certain condition is met.

branchAchievementNotCompleted

Usage: <<branchAchievementNotCompleted staxel.achievement.PlantCrop PlantingWait>>

Parameter 1: Code of the Achievement you want to check. (e.g. staxel.achievement.PlantCrop)

Parameter 2: Title of the Node to move to.

When this function is hit, it will check if the selected Achievement has been completed. If it has been completed it will continue on normally. If it has not been completed, then it will move to the specified node.

Useful for checking for completed actions, such as checking if the player has placed a Pet House.

branchAndLoadMissingCriticalTotem

Usage: <<branchAndLoadMissingCriticalTotem $ttm $price 1.50 TotemMissing>>

Parameter 1: The name of the variable you want to use to store the totem name. Should start with $.

Parameter 2: The name of the variable you want to use to store the price of the item. Should start with $.

Parameter 3: The premium multiplier. (The price will end up being, the cost of the totem * premium).

Parameter 4: Title of the Node to move to.

When this function is hit, check to see if a critical totem is missing. If so, then load said Totem's name to Parameter 1 and the price (multiplied by Parameter 3) to Parameter 2, then go to the node. If no critical totem is missing, then continue on normally without loading to variables.

branchBuildingHasExisted

Usage: <<branchBuildingHasExisted staxel.totem.workplace.Patisserie Existed>>

Parameter 1: Code of the Totem you want to check. (e.g. staxel.totem.workplace.Patisserie)

Parameter 2: Title of the Node to move to.

When this function is hit, it will check if the specified Totem has been completed at some point (i.e Has been built). If it hasn't then continue on normally. If it has been completed, then move to the specified node.

This is useful for making sure you only talk about buildings that exist or have existed. (Note: Building does need to have been built before. Just placing totem doesn't count.)

If you require that it does exist then check #branchValidStructureExists.

branchCurrentSeasonIs

Usage: <<branchCurrentSeasonIs Summer SummerNode>>

Parameter 1: Summer, Winter, Spring, Autumn

Parameter 2: Title of the Node to move to.

When this function is hit, check to see if the Season matches parameter 1. If so branch, otherwise continue normally.

branchMissingTotem

Usage: <<branchMissingTotem staxel.totem.AirshipLanding HouseMissing false>>

Parameter 1: Code of the Totem you want to check. (e.g. staxel.totem.AirshipLanding)

Parameter 2: Title of the Node to move to.

Parameter 3: Whether or not this totem should have been built to it's lowest tier.

When this function is hit, it will check to see if the totem is missing. If parameter 3 is true, then it will check if the villager has a built totem of this type. If it does continue and if not branch. If parameter 3 is false, then it will check if the totem has either been place or exists in the players inventory. If either of those are true, continue normally and branch if not.

useful for when you want to check if a totem has been lost before giving another totem.

Mainly used by Farm Fan to give the player rewards. Not too useful for other players.=== BranchValidStructureExistsWithTier === Usage: <<BranchValidStructureExistsWithTier staxel.totem.AirshipLanding 1 AirshipAvailable>>

Parameter 1: Code of the Totem you want to check. (e.g. staxel.totem.AirshipLanding)

Parameter 1: The lowest Tier of the existing building you want.

Parameter 3: Title of the Node to move to.

When this function is hit, it will search to see if a valid totem of the type specified exists. If it does, check if it has a tier at or higher than specified. If it succeeds, then it will head to the specified node. Otherwise if it does not exist or it's not a high enough tier then continue on normally.

Useful for checking that a building actually exists, and is at a certain tier, before going to it/ talking about it. (e.g. Making a villager complain that a building is not max tier.)

If you want to know that the building existed at some point then head to #branchBuildingHasExisted. Or if you just want it to exist, head to #branchValidStructureExists

branchNotServerOwner

Usage: <<branchNotServerOwner NotOwner>>

Parameter 1: Title of the Node to move to.

When this function is hit, it will check if the player is the server owner. If they are, then it will head to the specified node, otherwise continues on normally.

Mainly used by Farm Fan to make sure that only the server owner gets the tutorial.

branchPlayerCantAffordItem

Usage: <<branchPlayerCantAffordItem item staxel.item.crafting.MugOSap 1 CantAfford>>

Parameter 1: Can be item, tilePlacer, plant, recipe or clothing. Use item for Items. Use tilePlacer for Tiles. Use plant for [[Plants|seeds. Use recipe for Recipes and use clothing for Accessories.

Parameter 3: Number of the item you want the player to buy.

Parameter 4: Title of the Node to move to.

Parameter 5: (Optional) The multiplier to the price. (i.e. 2.00 to make it 2 times as expensive. 0.5 to make it half as expensive.)

When this function is hit, it will check if the player can afford the item. If they can then continue on normally. If they can't then move onto the specified node.

This is useful for checking if the player can actually afford the item.

branchPlayerDoesntHaveItemOfCategory

Usage: <<branchPlayerDoesntHaveItemOfCategory seed PlantingGive>>

Parameter 1: Category to look for for any item in the player's inventory.

Parameter 2: Title of the Node to move to.

When this function is hit, it will check if the player has an item with the specific category. If they do, continue on normally and if they don't, move to the specified node.

This is useful for checking if the player has an item that the NPC wants. (For example, check for seeds so that the tutorial can teach the player how to place them.)

branchPlayerDoesntHaveEnoughOfItem

Usage: <<BranchPlayerDoesntHaveEnoughOfItemstaxel.item.FarmRegistrationLetter 2 GoodBye>>

Parameter 1: Code of the Item you want to check. (e.g. staxel.crop.tomato)

Parameter 2: The minimum number of the item you want.

Parameter 3: Title of the Node to move to.

When this function is hit, it will check if the player has an item of a specific code. If they do check if it meets the minimum requirement, if so continue on normally and if not, move to the specified node.

This is useful for checking if the player has an enough of an item that the NPC wants. (For example, check for seeds so that the tutorial can teach the player how to place them.)

branchPlayerDoesntHavePlayerItem

Usage: <<branchPlayerDoesntHavePlayerItem staxel.item.FarmRegistrationLetter GoodBye>>

Parameter 1: Code of the Item you want to check. (e.g. staxel.crop.tomato)

This is useful for checking if the player has an item that the NPC wants. (For example, check for seeds so that the tutorial can teach the player how to place them.)

branchPlayerHasItem

Usage: <<branchPlayerCantAffordItem item staxel.item.crafting.MugOSap 1 CantAfford>>

Parameter 1: Code of the Item you want to search for. (e.g. staxel.item.crafting.MugOSap)

Dialogue Control Functions

These functions determine how the dialogue looks and feels to the player.

lockPlayerInConversation / releasePlayerFromConversation

Usage: <<lockPlayerInConversation>> or <<releasePlayerFromConversation>>

LockPlayerInConversation forces the player to enter into conversation mode. Conversation mode does several things;

• Stop the player from moving.
• Brings in the black bars
• Focuses player focus onto the NPC

ReleasePlayerFromConversation removes conversation mode from the player. Allowing them to move off and end the conversation. A <<typewriterMode off true true>> should be placed with this command if <<typewritermode on>> was present.

This is used for all dialogue that is personal to the player. (i.e. Not merchant chatter.)

moveToNext

Usage: <<moveToNext>>

Proceed to the next Dialogue immediately after displaying. This is mainly used in order to complete conversations properly and not wait for an input. This is because if the dialogue goes to an empty line, it will do a couple things, such as adjust the NPC's reputation.

Not needed if using #typewriterMode as the same thing is done in <<typewriterMode off true true>>.

pickRandomFromDialoguePools

Usage: <<pickRandomFromDialoguePools>>

Make the villager go to a new random Dialogue. This chooses from a number of different dialogues and can be quite complicated to follow. Here are the steps it takes;

1. Add any dialogues overrides provided by Festivals to the list of options first.
2. If Villager Personalities#"suppressGeneralDialogue" is false and, if overriden by a festival, Festivals#"suppressPersonality" is false then proceed to sub steps.
   1. If the villager is preparing to leave town and their home is still gone or broken, then immediately return a Random Dialogue that is in a Dialogue Pool with the Dialogue_Pools#"type" leaving.
   2. If not preparing to leave, check if villager has doesn't have a quest.
      1. Check to see if Player has finished their Farm License. If not add that to the list of options.
      2. Add in a Random Dialogue that is in a Dialogue Pool with the Dialogue_Pools#"type" general.
      3. If the weather has dialogue pools, and it isn't night time. Then add one of those in as well.
      4. If the player has theft recently, then add in a Random Dialogue that is in a Dialogue Pool with the Dialogue_Pools#"type" theft.
3. If the villager is not overriden or if overriden by a festival, Festivals#.22suppressPersonality.22 is false then proceed to sub steps.
   1. Add in a random Base Unique Dialogue Pool.
   2. Add in a random Liked Unique Dialogue Pool if high enough reputation.
   3. Add in a random Fond Unique Dialogue Pool if high enough reputation.
   4. Add in a random Best Friend Unique Dialogue Pool if high enough reputation.
   5. Add in a random Villager Personalities#"dialoguePools".
   6. If season has Dialogue associated with it, add in a random season dialogue.
4. If Villager has a Job, is not overriden or if overriden by a festival, Festivals#.22suppressPersonality.22 is false then proceed to sub steps.
   1. If They are working. That is the time is between their work time. Then continue to sub steps.
      1. If Workplace is missing then add in a Random Dialogue that is in Villager Jobs#"workPlaceMissingPools" with the Dialogue_Pools#"type" WorkPlaceMissing.
      2. If it exists, then add in a Random Dialogue that is in Villager Jobs#"dialoguePools" with the Dialogue_Pools#"type" Job.
5. If the villager does not have a job, is not overriden or if overriden by a festival, Festivals#.22suppressPersonality.22 is false then add in a Random Dialogue that is in a Dialogue Pool with the Dialogue_Pools#"type" Unemployed.
6. With that, choose a random dialogue out of all of the dialogues added.

TLDR: Choose a random dialogue based on a lot of circumstances, with special attention being paid to Festivals overriding dialogue.

This is most often used by Workers, as they have their working dialogue prioritised. This allows them to still use their personality even while working. (For examples look at Mayor Dialogue and Mechanic Dialogue.)

pickRandomLine

Usage:

<<pickRandomLine>>

This is line 1.

This is line 2.

<<flushRandomLine>>

Choose a single line, from a number of text only lines, randomly up either up to the end of the node or up to the command <<flushRandomLine>>. Used to select either a random section of text so that it doesn't repeat the same text too often.

pickRandomPath

Usage:

<<pickRandomPath>>

<<NodeName1>>

<<NodeName2>>

<<flushRandomPath>>

Choose a single line, from a number of node names, randomly up either up to the end of the node or up to the command <<flushRandomPath>>. Used to select a random node to go to so the same section of text isn't repeated often. Less clutter, in the one node, than #pickRandomPath when dealing with larger conversations.

resumeProgress

Usage: <<resumeProgress>>>>

Resume the last node that was saved for the current player. If there is no saved value or if saved value is the "Start" node then continue on the current node.

saveProgress

Usage: <<saveProgress>> or <<saveProgress NodeA>>

Parameter 1: The title of the node to save. (Skipping means the last node is saved.)

This saves the current node to a variable which is then stored. Useful for when a conversation needs to be completed. (e.g. It is used in the tutorial to save the last location Farm Fan was in.)

shuffleNextOptions

Usage: <<shuffleNextOptions>>

Make the next set of options be in a random order when shown to the player.

transitionToNew

Usage: <<transitionToNew>>

Restart the dialogue after finishing.

typewriterMode

Usage: <<typewriterMode on>> or <<typewriterMode off true true>>

Parameter 1: Turn on or off typewriter mode.

Parameter 2: (If Parameter 1 is off) Clear the message so it doesn't stay around. (Set to False to keep messages after this value)

Paremeter 3: (If Parameter 1 is off and Parameter 2 is True) Setting to True lets the current node immediately end without the need to click. (e.g Ending conversation immediately.)

Setting the typewriter to on makes it so text is filtered out a single character at a time instead of the entire message appearing at once. Should be turned off at the end of a conversation (i.e. <<typewriterMode off true true>>) before releasing from conversation.
