Hello. I am absolutely new to the Wintermute Community and have a little (Big) Dialogue Problem  .

The Problem is: I check nothing about it.

I dont know how and where i have to put all the code-stuff together, to get a simple dialogue between two Characters.

I tried the Things in the WME-Documentation and even the Dialogmaker-Editor (crashes on my computer) many times, but nothing helped.

I would you thank a lot if you can help me Tod solve this Problem.

bye Ivan

bye Ivan

Hello Fastfooot,

I am sorry for my bad English. If you are new to Wintermute Engine you should open WME Demo project to see how does this great engine work. This is really a good way how to start.

There is what you are looking for:

Code: WME Script

1. #include "scripts\base.inc"

Can you understand this piece of code? Of course there are also other way how to work with dialogs but you should start here.
