Two Different Speech Files

[icantevenname]

I wanna give an uploaded character a totally new speech script, but feel like people would want an option to keep using the old one. How do I set things up so that the mod can be configured to select one of the two speech files?

You could try if adding something like this to you modmain works:

if GetModConfig("which_speechfile") == 1 then
	GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.YOUR_CHARACTER = require "speech_your_character1"
else
	GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.YOUR_CHARACTER = require "speech_your_character2"
end

end

 

quick question is it possible to change it in game? like when its fullmoon character uses speech_1 and if its new moon character uses speech_2 and if its not any of them the character uses speech_3)

I don't know, I have never tried it.  Just try it and see if it works, I think that should be possible.

Listen to the event of full moon and new moon and run a function that changes the strings.

Wait, I thought that kinda stuff was supposed to go in Modinfo?

[Monti18]

As far as I know, the STRINGS go into the modmain, modinfo is just for the configuration and so on.

Ah.  But how do I set up the configuration then?

[Monti18]

Look at this post by Ultroman, it has all the necessary information:

So there's a problem.

My modmain has

if GetModConfig("which_speechfile") == 1 then
	GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.YOUR_CHARACTER = require "speech_inky1"
else
	GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.YOUR_CHARACTER = require "speech_inky2"
end

and in my modinfo has

configuration_options =
{
	{
		name = "which_speechfile",
		label = "Personality",
		options =	{
						{description = "Speech 1", data = 1},
						{description = "Speech 2", data = 2},
					},
		default = 2,
	}
}

but the game hard crashes. I looked at the log and at the line of GetModConfig it says "attempt to call global 'GetModConfig' (a nil value)". I have no idea what to do next.

[Monti18]

It's GetModConfigData and not GetModConfig, that's why it's nil

The crashing stopped, but it seems like nothin's happening. I switch to the other option, but it stays at the default. I've tried to remove the lone require speech, but that only makes it that Wilson's speech is used...

[Monti18]

I just tried it, it works on my side.

Did you change YOUR_CHARACTER in the code

if GetModConfig("which_speechfile") == 1 then
	GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.YOUR_CHARACTER = require "speech_inky1"
else
	GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.YOUR_CHARACTER = require "speech_inky2"
end

to the name of your character in upper case?

Did you remove the line in the modmain that selects the speechfile that you had in there before ?

GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.YOUR_CHARACTER = require "speech_inky" 

If you did all of this, post your modmain so I can have a look.

Okay...

 

 

So...
