zMultilogue

Multi-NPC dialogue system for Gothic, based on the solution form AFSP Trialogue package.

ToDo

• Implement the basic functionality of the multilogue system
• Increase the default display dialogue distance if needed
• Custom camera system
• Gothic 1 compatibility

Usage

1. Download zMultilogue.vdf and place it inside <GOTHIC_ROOT>/Data with Union installed to automatically load the plugin at the start of the game.

2. Copy the ZS_MULTILOGUE routine from _externals/zMultilogue.d into any file parsed by the game.

3. Use the plugin's externals to create multilogues 😄

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a simple multilogue with two NPCs.

instance DIA_TEST_ZMUL(C_INFO)
{
	npc         = NONE_100_Xardas;
	nr          = 0;
	condition   = DIA_TEST_ZMUL_Condition;
	information = DIA_TEST_ZMUL_Info;
	permanent   = FALSE;
	description = "Multilogue test";
};

FUNC INT DIA_TEST_ZMUL_Condition()
{
	return TRUE;
};

FUNC VOID DIA_TEST_ZMUL_Info()
{
	var C_NPC diego; diego = Hlp_GetNpc(PC_Thief_NW);
	var C_NPC xardas; xardas = Hlp_GetNpc(NONE_100_Xardas);
	zMul_Invite(diego);
	zMul_Start();
	AI_Output(other, self, "DIA_TEST_ZMUL_15_00"); //I found your gold!
	zMul_Next(diego);
	AI_Output(self, other, "DIA_TEST_ZMUL_11_01"); //Great. Show me.
	zMul_Next(xardas);
	AI_Output(self, other, "DIA_TEST_ZMUL_14_02"); //What gold?
	AI_Output(other, self, "DIA_TEST_ZMUL_15_03"); //None of your business.
	AI_Output(self, other, "DIA_TEST_ZMUL_14_04"); //Okay. I will be in the tower.
	zMul_Next(diego);
	AI_Output(self, other, "DIA_TEST_ZMUL_11_05"); //Give me the gold now.
	zMul_Finish();
};
