It is awesome to have this feature in Warcraft III.

I think this could be improved by adding Back, History, Skip, and Auto features. It is not really necessary but it will make this system better than the one Warcraft III provides.

Thanks for your feedback, will consider adding those features in future updates.

Please separate the test map function and the core code function into at least two separate triggers (at least the demo function should be in a trigger). The current setup will make newbies paste the test code by accident.

This is some interesting stuff though, pretty sure Tasyen would be interested to have a look into this UI usage.

Attached the photoshop file for the updated UI to simplify edits.

Its a day we've all been waiting for! Finally the tga porn pictures in some loaps can be preluded with captivating dialogue.

Watch out for the map reviewers who'd check these kinds of maps though. On a side note, definitely a nice way to hide your stash of passionate-hugging.

Will attach a review later.

As always before, attached you find the photoshop file that can be used to easily change parts of the user interface.

Added "Requires version 1,31 or newer." beforehand. Also fixed up the table in System API. Spelling errors are presumably fixed.

Now for the actual review,

Hmm .. the way the Dialog System runs feels like you're playing an entirely different game. With a little bit of refinement on
the user's end, the illusion of playing another game is definitely well kept intact. Nicely done!

I haven't really gone in-depth with this one as I should've, but here are some, if not one, points to address:
  • Function Name Declaration: Although the casing of the function names themselves are quirky as they are, some of these function names are kind of generic. This may run the risk of name collisions, though the quirkiness of the function names will definitely reduce the chances of this occurring.

  • Encapsulation: I think this system would benefit from enclosure within a library, but it is not an urgent suggestion in this case.
