Reading a note (DIALOG)

[Hidden Hands]

I have a slight issue. It's not the biggest deal, but I just wondered if there's a fix for this.

In my game you get a lot of chances to read notes and diaries left lying around. A few of these are fairly long and the "ok" button seems to overlap the text. Is there a fix for this? An example can be seen below.

The obvious answer it to split the text and put some of it on a second page. Then instead of just having an OK choice, have a More... choice too If you've played my Gene-Tech mod you see that some of the NPCs have text that goes on to a second page. Obviously, some of the Strife NPCs do this too.

Ah, now that's a very good idea! I would prefer that actually, since diary entries should really be page seperated. I'll give it a go. Thanks for the tip!

Can someone help me out here... I am not sure how to format a dialog to have a next page option. Any help please is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to bump this topic, but I'm still having some trouble with this. I really need to arrange all the dialog into seperate pages. How can I do this please?

Code: Select all

conversation
{
    // Book on side table in main hall.
	id = 1;
	actor = "bookop01";
	page
	{
	     name = "History Of The Shadow Demons";
		 dialog = "text here.";
	     choice
		 {
		     text = "next page";
		 }
		 choice
		 {
		     text = "Stop reading";
}

Please, read carefully the whole first topic in this thread. It will clearly describe to you how to set-up a dialogue for strife.

From the example you've posted here, you need to set a nextpage= pageNumber/"pageName" to skip to next page into the Choice {} block.
