#Reforger Mod: Dialogue system prototype
grand gazelle
I was actually wondering if someone was going to make this. If only the vanilla faces were rigged.

Headtracking could be interesting though, in addition to NPCs fully turning towards you after a certain angle. Like in Skyrim for example. Probably quite a bit of work though I assume.

Could add it to the initial "Greet" action, whenever you would greet an npc they would look at you until they have no more dialogue options maybe, nice idea
grand gazelle
That's actually a good way to contain it. If they'd always do it even outside of dialogue you'd have them headtrack in awkward situations. 😅

smol update, trying to hookup radial menu to tackle multiple choice style dialogue
flint totem
managed to make each character to have their own progression even tho they get dialogue from same configuration. Atm its without any extra components on the character, its just a new character archetype being created in the dialogue component.

trying to fully move the system to work with radial menu only
grand gazelle
That's better in my opinion. 👍
Though later if the faces are ever rigged, list of choices with 1. 2. 3. 4. in the lower part of the screen would be better.
flint totem
yeah, i want to move both radial menu and chat. want to see if it would be possible to relocate chat only when you are doing dialogue.
grand gazelle
Gotcha. 🙏
grand gazelle
Could also do something like this. Just an idea! 
flint totem
you mean instead of radial menu have the options one after the other?
grand gazelle
Seems more convinient for PC atleast. And for consoles the radial menu maybe. Not sure what console players think though
flint totem
i was thinking of something simmilar, i wanted to see how possible it will be to "reskin" the radial menu into something like this
flint totem
some progress with the UI.
flint totem
managed to introduce some hacky navigation through the menus.
grand gazelle
Nice!

Is there a way to intimidate or threaten the AI so they dynamically try to search for you or try to insult you back?
flint totem
Is there a way to intimidate or threaten the AI so they dynamically try to searc...
there isnt a way atm, but its an interesting idea 😅
it should be possible now to make "bottomless" dialogue, you can keep stacking branches on top of eachother for deeper branches.
flint totem
So there's been some work done to the dialogue system, not much on its core functionality but more about its usability. I managed to set up a scenario using it and just published it with 9.8, there is controller support for the dialogue UI so if anyone wants to try it feel free to check it.
There will be updates.

Been working on some UI improvements over the weekend. Not using chat anymore.
flint totem
The huge dialogue box is gone, will be using floating ui elements from now. Wanted to incorporate some kind of random chater around so only way to keep in consistant. The info about the character will be accessible though an action in the dialogue to be able to check reputation/faction etc...

Nice update!
