Dialogue Pools

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;

{
  "code" : "mods.modname.dialoguepools.dialoguepoolname",
  "type" : "Personality",
  "dialogue" : [
    "mods.modname.dialogue.dialoguename"
  ]
}

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