Scripting Dialog without Editor

[Scorpio82]

Where can I find a reference/tutorial on how to manually script conversations without ever having to touch the dialog editor?  I can make conversations all right, but I usually have a lot of other stuff going on at the same time, and I'd rather just keep it all straight-forward inside the room script rather than keep using global functions.

That's really all you need to do conversations without the Dialog Editor.
If you want the Options setup of the Editor, and just don't want to have to use dialog_request all the time - sorry there's really no way around it. You could try using the CallRoomScript function within dialog_request - it's not really any simpler (actually, it's less simple as you're bringing another function into the mix), but it would allow you to keep room specific stuff in the Room script.
