littleDialogue.lua (v1.2) - bye bye default text boxes!

[MrDoubleA]

For the life of me, no matter what I do, the message box stays blank.
Neither message nor portrait show up, just a blank box
Edit: Figured out it's only when I try to use mugshots.
Edit Edit: Solved it, it was just format error. Sorry to bother everybody.
/is kicked out the back door

Yeah if you ever put in an invalid tag/misspell it, textplus will just... give up and not attempt to parse any more of the text.

[IttaBaby]

Can you maybe add a feature to quickly swap which side the mugshot is on, like in RPGMaker?

[ChunkyChimp]

It seems like the textplus tags that make moving text (like wave, glitch, and garbage) don't work with this. Is that just me?

What's your code? (the message that you are supposed to set in the editor)

Question: What do I do when the text cuts off at the end no matter what maxwidth I size it to?





Added in 17 seconds:
Maybe I don't understand how the font size works.

[LunarCatUSA]

Also, are the graphics/image draw function suppose to be disabled? Because I'm not loading any image of mine into the game when a certain parameter is met.

Oh wait, nevermind, I just wasn't on the OnDraw() function

Hi there, littleDialogue.lua is incompatible with SMWcamera, can you look into adding compatiability with it? That would be wonderful.

You can test it yourself by simply using:

Code: Select all

API.load("SMWcamera")

Weird question but is there a way to keep the default smbx dialogue boxes and littleDialogue.lua? Because the latter can sometimes break events that uses dialogue

For that, you can:

Code: Select all

littleDialogue.registerAnswer("event1",{text = "text",chosenFunction = function(); triggerEvent("eventname"); end})

You mean this one that is public and been available to download since around 2018 and is also included inside of SMBX2s download? https://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/SMWcamera.lua

Can you please fix the incompatibility? I'm not using any 'unreleased libraries'.

SORRY, I misread it!
In any case, smwcamera.lua is made for beta 3 and no longer works properly in beta 4. It has several issues beyond this.

It's all good. Sorry if I came off rudely, I don't steal or use anything that is unreleased! It just worked for what I wanted and that's all I just thought it'd be cool to have both be used together without any issue.

It's alright though, thanks for your hard work on this library.

[coffeebug]

thank you so much!!

edit: is there a way to disable the deltarune text marker?

[MrDoubleA]

Put "lineMarkerEnabled = false" in the deltarune box's settings.

[coffeebug]

ALSO does this support playing a sound in the textbox

[RunninPigeon]

Really cool looking lua script!

I have a quick question. So, it seems as if the Little Dialogue Folder/Script has to be in the Episode Folder, and not simply the Level Folder. I'm probably just doing something wrong (because I'm still terrible at scripting) but if you know how to make it work by having the LD Folder and Script in the Level Folder, let me know. Thanks!

I've tested it in both the episode and level folder. Sharing any error/debug messages you get, as well as your luna.lua file, would be very useful.
