Technical forum / Help with dialogues

« on: May 17, 2008, 09:30:53 AM »

Hello
i have a scene with animated sprites.
i have two actors
i use in my scene dialogue texte with audio file:
my code:

actor1.Talk("blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah", "sounds\blah.ogg");
actor2.Talk("blah1 blah1 blah1 blah1 blah1 blah1 blah1 blah1", "sounds\blah1.ogg");
actor1.Talk("blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2 blah2", "sounds\blah2.ogg");
actor2.Talk("blah3 blah3 blah3 blah3 blah3 blah3 blah3 blah3 ", "sounds\blah3.ogg");

This code works fine, but my problem is there is a pause between two dialogues (example between dialogue blah and dialogue blah1 i have a little pause, few seconds)
how can i do to to cancel this little pause to make my dialogues more fluid?
i think perhaps my audio files are too long? it could be?
thanks for help

Technical forum / i don't understand footstep for 2d actor

« on: May 10, 2008, 02:41:05 PM »

hello everybody

since yesterday i read all the post about footsteps and really i don't understand. i saw the 3d demo trinity but i use a 2d sprite actor for my game and not a 3d actor.
so i understood that i need to copy this script

on "footstep"
{
// get a region the actor is standing in
var Reg = Scene.GetRegionAt(this.X, this.Y);
if (Reg!=null)
{
// play a sound depenging on a surface
// "xSurface" is a custom property we defined in SceneEdit
switch(Reg.xSurface)
{
case "grass":
this.PlaySound("footsteps\grass.ogg");
break;

case "wood":
this.PlaySound("footsteps\wood.ogg");
break;

// add more sounds here...
}
}

in myactor.script

but i don't understand about this part:

ANIMATION
{
NAME="walk"
LOOPING=TRUE

EVENT
{
        FRAME = 2
         NAME = "footstep"
}
      EVENT
      {
         FRAME = 20
         NAME = "footstep"
      }

}
i don't know where i need to put this part in my actor definition file.

my original actor definition file is:

; $EDITOR_PROJECT_ROOT_DIR$ ..\..\..\

ACTOR
{
NAME = "Nolan"
CAPTION=""
SCALABLE = TRUE
INTERACTIVE = FALSE
X = 400
Y = 460
SCRIPT="actors\Nolan\Nolan.script"

FONT = "fonts\outline_red.font"

ANIMATION
{
NAME = "idle"

LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ll\stand.sprite"
RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\rr\stand.sprite"
UP = "actors\Nolan\uu\stand.sprite"
DOWN = "actors\Nolan\dd\stand.sprite"

UP_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ul\stand.sprite"
UP_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\ur\stand.sprite"
DOWN_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\dl\stand.sprite"
DOWN_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\dr\stand.sprite"
}

ANIMATION
{
NAME = "walk"
   LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ll\walk.sprite"
RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\rr\walk.sprite"
UP = "actors\Nolan\uu\walk.sprite"
DOWN = "actors\Nolan\dd\walk.sprite"

UP_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ul\walk.sprite"
UP_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\ur\walk.sprite"
DOWN_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\dl\walk.sprite"
DOWN_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\dr\walk.sprite"
}

ANIMATION
{
NAME = "talk"

LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ll\talk.sprite"
RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\rr\talk.sprite"
UP = "actors\Nolan\uu\talk.sprite"
DOWN = "actors\Nolan\dd\talk.sprite"

UP_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ul\talk.sprite"
UP_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\ur\talk.sprite"
DOWN_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\dl\talk.sprite"
DOWN_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\dr\talk.sprite"
}

ANIMATION
{
NAME = "turnleft"

LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ll\turn.sprite"
RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\rr\turn.sprite"
UP = "actors\Nolan\uu\turn.sprite"
DOWN = "actors\Nolan\dd\turn.sprite"

UP_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ul\turn.sprite"
UP_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\ur\turn.sprite"
DOWN_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\dl\turn.sprite"
DOWN_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\dr\turn.sprite"
}

ANIMATION
{
NAME = "turnright"

LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ll\turn.sprite"
RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\rr\turn.sprite"
UP = "actors\Nolan\uu\turn.sprite"
DOWN = "actors\Nolan\dd\turn.sprite"

UP_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\ul\turn.sprite"
UP_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\ur\turn.sprite"
DOWN_LEFT = "actors\Nolan\dl\turn.sprite"
DOWN_RIGHT = "actors\Nolan\dr\turn.sprite"
}
}

so can you help me or send me an example with 2d actor sprite

thank you very much for helps

Technical forum / Help with a script

« on: April 22, 2008, 09:18:31 AM »

Hello every body

I'm not a coder and english is not my language, so sometimes it's difficult for me to understand, so forgive if my very newbies questions !
i Saw a script at this adress
http://wiki.dead-code.org/wakka.php?wakka=IconBased&v=5ir

so i'm understand the part 1, 2, and i pasted the script in the good place
but in part free i dont understand something:

Then in your test scene put the following code:
dlgObject.initializeDialogue("scripts\reactions.script");
dlgObject.insertIcon("first","icon.png","icon.png"); // insert some real image file instead of icon.png
dlgObject.insertIcon("second","icon.png","icon.png"); // insert some real image file instead of icon.png
dlgObject.insertIcon("third","icon.png","icon.png"); // insert some real image file instead of icon.png

what is the test scene? where i need to put this script part exactly?
can you help me?
Thanks for help
