Dialogic -- Powerful New Dialog Add-On For Godot

[@emi_cpl]

Thank you for featuring the plugin on your channel! I'm working on a fix for other screen sizes, but unfortunately Godot doesn't expose those variables to GDScript so I'm having some trouble properly identifying the user editor scale. Gotta get a 4k monitor to test it out 👀

[@Baldur1975]

Try this: var editor_control_panel = get_editor_interface().get_parent().get_child(2).get_child(0) var middle_container = editor_control_panel.get_child(0).get_child(1).get_child(1).get_child(1).get_child(0) print(editor_control_panel, editor_control_panel.get_size()) print(middle_container, middle_container.get_size()) You can determine the instances in your editor plugin script and then pass them on to always determine the current size values at runtime

[@themore-you-know]

I randomly stumbled on your project a few days ago before your 1.0 release. Great work man! Some really cool stuff!

[@sean7221]

Awesome work mate!

[@dagarou]

Buena! Me alegro que más gente descubra el plugin y tu canal.

[@eduardonajera5459]

Emilio, me encanta en addon, soy profe y les voy a poner una práctica con él a mis alumnos de TIC2 de 2bachillerato que estamos con godot. Les va a encantar. Enhorabuena por el gran trabajo!

[@inspiredink4515]

Godot getting a lot of love recently!

[@swordarmstudios6052]

The tooling in Godot is getting quite good very quickly. It's still early but the project seems to be acquiring critical mass. I personally love Godot's hackability. It's just easy to get stuff done so long as your organized, and I have faith that even weird tools I find off the internet will mostly work and do what they say they will do.

@@swordarmstudios6052 as someone who has never coded anything in script (Dyslexia) it has been fun learning the code of GoDoT like how to do simple if self is hovered sentence and someone tipped just write if self.is_hovered(): and it should work, it did and then I broke it and I literally spend 21.00 - 01.30 last night making a damn main menu with simple Exit and Next Scene and end to the lvl_0 xD It is so different what I'm used to as I normally code everything from blocks, was it automation logics or Gamemaker it is blocks all the way

[@KrystofKlestil1337]

Emilio is a fantastic developer and I've been using this addon since its 0.6 release (i think), it's greatly helped me with my project and easily implement dialogues. The fact it provides an inbuilt editor for dialogues and characters is a god sent.

[@hanzofactory]

This is one of the biggest reasons why Godot rocks. Open source powerful plugins is so much more than I could ever ask for, and I love it!

[@PrepStorm]

Thank you. I am looking to implement dialog and had a heavy head with everything that you need to learn and how I can implement it. 12 minutes after watching this video with installation and basic usage, these questions were cleared out. I can now jump back into writing dialog and dont have to worry about this headache dialogs has been giving me lately, so thanks again.

[@Valeriooooh]

Emillio is a really nice guy

[@alvinmrobles]

i like Emilio too

[@oghene2778]

this addon is unfair, it's tpo powerful for our own good man! seriously Emi gets +50000 respect :D

[@sslaxx]

By the way, the asset library now has 1.0.

[@Amipotsophspond]

Lots of people also don't have 4k the best thing is to support multiple resolutions high, and low quality high, medium, and low quality Or if you have the budget for all the common resolutions but if you can only pick 1 resolution don't chase the bleeding edge pick the most common then when you get more popular you can expand.

[@Chevifier]

Dude Godot addons are so freaking cool. Some of them fit so perfectly like they are part of the engine. Zylann Hterrain for example.

[@swordarmstudios6052]

I do believe instead of quiting out you can just disable and reenable the plugin. This causes the plugins enter_tree() method to trigger and so should update any node information that is cached inside godot. There is also a plugin reload plugin in the assett library that lets you reload plugins on a button press.

[@amorpilo9666]

You don't need to close Godot, just disable and enable the plugin so the changes load.

[@antonionotbanderas9775]

Looking forward to your Dialogic 2 review.

[@nowherebrain]

been following emilio on this project..simply amazing...and useful...really, really good work.

[@gasoline1707]

I started using it a little while ago and was surprised how easy it was to set up

[@JOELwindows7]

3:00 bruh! You could've just drag that little white bar when you hover between the dialog element list area, and the dialog scene area, lmao!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 6:50 wait, you know that already? OK

[@noeperard8843]

Really cool plugin ! It´s this kind of project that makes godot viable. I hope it gets ported to 4.0. also I know you put the link in your detailed article, but could you add it in description too ? Thanks a lot for the digging work, you´re awesome Mike !

[@Christobanistan]

I am betting it will!

[@PlayWithFurcifer]

Woah, this looks really useful.

[@RenderingUser]

GFS writing the dialogues and narrating it made my day WaSsSsUP GFS!

[@rockabluesy60]

Amazing tools, really helpful with that conditional like Question etc

[@RemotelyHuman666]

I wonder how many kids now will know who Bob Dole is let alone recognize that excellent impression! 🤣

[@msajidsarker]

This is a fantastic plug-in, rivalling the one used by Disco Elysium in Unity!

[@juanloutech2864]

Really looking forward to using this! Thanx!

[@Value134]

This actually reminds me of RPG maker's dialogue system. I think I'm gonna get used to it pretty quickly

[@drbuni]

My thoughts exactly, although it is slightly less simple and straightforward than RPG Maker's dialogue system.

[@adamcampbell9806]

"Let's make this one Satan" - laughed out loud at that one

[@ShamelessFNGRL]

Noob here, on day 3 of my Godot journey. I saw 'background texture' boxes, does that mean I could upload my own design for the text box? Or will that only give the box a bit if a texture? I'd like to have the dialog box look like the top of a book's page instead of just a box. I'm debating between dialogic, and Nathan's dialogue manager. Would love to hear advice :3

[@ThantiK]

That's the most realistic dialog I have ever witnessed...

[@mattn64]

I bet a lot of people were going 'Who is Bob Dole?'

[@akipparu2264]

Hi! Just wanted to ask something, does dialogic support languages other than english? I tryed, but it just shows dots and that's it.

[@thepolyglotprogrammer]

Will check it out!!

[@tadou98]

It looks great, thank you for bringing that up. Does it handle internationalization though ?

[@martintse958]

Hey, can you make a tutorial about how to set up a npc dialog?

Bob dole talking to satan...... okay im sold.

[@destinynoah5461]

Now you can make visual novels with ease

[@biscuitsspam]

'WASSSUP SATAN' 'WASSSUP BOB, just chillin B, having a bud' 'True True' - and that peoples, is the story of bob and satan.

[@toastedwalnut]

omg this is insanely useful

[@alvarocafe]

So helpful

[@SaturdayXIII]

Did Godot just surpass renpy?

[@PenroseMusic]

UPDATE: I've found that when I have my game's window, (set to 800x600 just bc I'm more comfortable working with that), and I have the display set to 2D and for it to keep when running, Dialogic just won't show up at all. Any fixes in regards to that? Hi all! I can't seem to get the script to work to test the first Dialogic example. When I go to run my scene, it just remains blank. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

[@emi_cpl]

The latest version on github should have fixes for those issues :)

[@Warionator]

for some reason when the stretch mode is on 2d, it wont work. It has to be on disabled EDIT: This was fixed in v1.0.1, make sure you get the latest from the github and not AssetLib as it takes a while to update

[@PenroseMusic]

@@emi_cpl Thanks so much! Gonna check out the new version now!

[@bolon667]

This is litterally renpy for godot.

[@dragonwarriorz1]

More like RPG Maker's event system than Renpy. Renpy has no visual editor

[@anastasiaklyuch2746]

awesome! Can I add sounds to play at each vowel? I know Tyronobuilder does that with a soungdeffect tag after each vowel, which is not displayed.

[@germanslice]

how does this system work with NPC triggers in the map. Can Godot do Shadow line Text for the dialog as well?

[@abhinavkuruvilajoseph9274]

its a nice project

[@mystak3n]

Reminds me of RPGMaker

[@PontusWittenmark]

Ink from Inkle is your friend🖖

[@oo735]

Some cool stuff.....

[@alvinmrobles]

great!

[@TheSliderW]

How does it handle translations ?

[@swordarmstudios6052]

Bob Dole approves this message.

[@Kalkbrenner]

What is it with you and Bob Dole? :)

[@theplaymakerno1]

I love Godot

[@solomonmckay3126]

Does anyone know how to get the current character that is speaking?

[@MrYoshitaka]

Is it usable in vr ?

[@forhadrh]

Hmm, cool! 👍

[@randomjimbitz512]

Does this not exist anymore?

[@jimmyslaughter6262]

"Satan" Me: Nice.

[@TodorImreorov]

its been out since last year :)

[@spartanjames_]

Does it work in 3d I need dialogue for 3d

[@Tomsudobrej]

Wow, so cool! :o

[@Fullrusher]

I had this same idea 😔😩😑it took me too long to learn to code so now I get to watch it already made 😑🙄 fuck!!!!

[@Christobanistan]

Definitely a 90s kid!

[@nofflle]

I like Bob.

[@rechronicle]

more love for Godot

[@kusog3]

was that an eminem reference?

[@stesproject]

My favorite color is pizza!

[@Megalomaniakaal]

Got to compulsively say, my OCD wanted to take hold _hard_ when you didn't right click and unblock that .zip archive first. I did resist tho(or did I?)

[@lista_devideos_cursoscompl1338]

Cool

[@kallelfiori9767]

just a normal conversation with satan

[@MrNybbles]

Alternative Example Dialog: "If you could be any colour, what colour would you be, and what would you taste like???" Orange Peach Lime Plaid

[@Atomicflee]

👍

[@Yokulovescake]

This feels so easy, it almost looks like cheating

[@kavehpzh]

omg! damn easy...

[@kelpsie]

Such scathing political commentary.

[@kristianlavigne8270]

Satan = Santa (anagram)
