[TES:V] Dialogue System

Description


/// NOTE: Check out the options avaliable under 'Utilities > Mailer > [TES:V] Dialogue System' if you are wanting to customize the addon or enable experimental features. ///



⚑ - Addon that checks if the player is facing an NPC or another player and thus draws an overlay in chat
┗▶ The addon will only display the overlay if the player is close enough to the target, facing it, is using the chat, and has the main-enabler CVar enabled.
┗▶ Multiple CVars for customization of font and color. RGB-supported. Additional fonts may get added in the future.
┗▶ About 300 (so far) different dialogue options randomly chosen to be represented in the chat overlay every time.
┗▶ Every chosen dialogue has a small chance of becoming an intimidation or a persuasion attempt
┗▶ Supports the default HL2-NPC names, and (hopefully) also picks up on the names of other players in Multiplayer.
┗▶ Features an experimental branch which can be enabled by using the sky_dialogue_experimental [0/1] CVar. Enabling this branch will allow you to select a dialogue option and have it be printed through chat. [WIP]
┗▶ Dialogue options taken from World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Warhammer Vermintide, and a few other sources. I might add more sources in the future.
┗▶ Tweakable options through the "Mailer"-category under "Utilities"
┗▶ Supports completely random as well as structurely picked dialogue options.

This is amongst my first attempts at coding anything lua-related, thus I cannot guarantee any optimal or waterproof code for multiplayer or singleplayer. Report any issues you find, if possible, and I will do my best to patch them.

I'll be adding more and more to this addon as time progresses.

This addon has been created and edited to resemble it's counterpart in The Elder Scrolls: V




⚐ - Bethesda Game Studios (The Elder Scrolls: V)
⚐ - Blizzard Entertainment (World of Warcraft)
⚐ - Fatshark (Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide)

I know that it's been a long time but I hope for more, not that I wish to sound entitled or demanding. I think this has a lot of potential :steamthumbsup:.

For everyone that think it doesn't work, it does. It works perfectly fine as long as you know what key to press. Also, I think the dev should let you customize the dialogue options, but it's still a good addon.
