Customizing The Dialogue interface

[JoelCBarker]

Can anyone tell me how I can change the look of the dialogue thing? I want to add a graphic and resize the little black box that the options appear in. Can I just make a GUI and tell it to display the options in there?      I also would like the responses to appear in a textbox instead of over the character's head. Much obliged

In the game options screen, there is a checkbox titled "Dialogue options on GUI ___". Make a GUI for your options to appear in and check the box, filling in the corresponding GUI number.

Hope that helps,

It did help, thanks a bundle.

The options are appearing in the GUI, but anything said appears above a character's head. Surely there is a way the speech can appear inside the GUI instead. Any pointers?

In the game options you could set the speech style: Sierra-style w/background

Then set the character's talking view to a transparent sprite (unless you want an animation next to the dialog box)

you can make any gui for the speech (tick the Text Window box) and use:

game.speech_text_gui=14; // you obviously set the correct gui number


Hope this helps
