JKA Dialougue Menus

This is something I've always wanted to implement into JA. The classic dialogue selectors (inspired from KOTOR) are something I've always wanted to bring to JKA. Above is a concept I've created a while back. Since then, I've found much more efficient ways of doing it. I'd love to maybe find places where this could be used and put it in JKA. For example, on t2_rouge (Coursant) it would be cool if you had the choice of what to say to Racto, the gang boss. You could use the following option "[Mind Trick] You will tell me what I want to know." in order to skip the droid battle, if your MT level is high enough. There are tons of possibilities for this. I wanna know - is this something you'd like to see? And if so, where and what could it be used for? This had the potential to be REALLY cool.

Yeah. I got inspiration from that a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, but the biggest challenge was getting it into SP.  Brings back memories though

Well basically a tool like this allows you to turn jka into an RPG.  Nice because you can trigger scripts/events using this method.  For example: Talk to an npc about shuttle traveling to another planet.  Then after making your selection, you could have it load a new map/level based on what you select.  Etc...anything you wanna do pretty much.

This would be awesome! It would make it feel like you have more control over your character, which is something that needs to be improved with this project.

Please have "smack rosh" as an option.

My goal would definitely be this. Unfortunately, without all the .maps, I can't add many of the ents I'd need to really make it work, but I'll use scripts to do as much as I can !

 

Glad you guys are open to the prospect. I've been shut down many times when people use the arguments that this is an FPS and not RPG and the two should never be put together. Glad y'all disagree.

I did?

I probably said that at some point, and I guess with our plans, it would be physically possible, but nothing short of difficult really to pull off per se.

This is IMO, JKG's primary purpose.

[katanamaru]

I'm all for the concept. Though wouldn't that mean a significant rework of the games maps?

[Futuza]

...No...?

[eezstreet]

Nope. JKG's stuff basically floated on top of the existing maps, making it possible to do all kinds of insane stuff (such as entities which only worked on specific maps, and complex camera and AI stuff)

[Onysfx]

Exactly. A good FPS engine with an RPG would make a hell of a mod, instead of the classic, "Shoot, get hit, shoot, get hit thing, while standing in one place".

[katanamaru]

Well ok then. If it's possible to do with the existing maps then I'm all for it.

[Futuza]

This is why I try to keep telling people that they should apply for JKG since its awesome.

[Scorpion]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Please. PLEASE. It'll be really fun apart from the "Hey Jaden, do you wanna do this?" and you automatically say Yes. WHAT IF YOU DON'T? I'm just ranting here, but that's my opinion.

I say

YES.

[eezstreet]

Back to the OT, what purpose would this serve in Gold Pack? Or am I missing something?

It would make the game feel more like you have control of your character, which is something Raven attempted and mostly failed at. This is really more of a discussion topic, not really a WIP. Unless @@therfiles has anything to show, I think we might need to move this to discussions.

 

[eezstreet]

How would that tie into the game at all though, given the current levels?

I'm not sure. We'd either change the current levels around a bit (adding new options) and make new ones. It's really just a brainstorm of what we could do. It definitely seems something that requires a lot of work.

 

[MoonDog]

Well the Kell Dragon has customizable harness with space for the galaxy dictionary for the best of topic discussions betweens jan and 8t88 at space starbucks. but then if some one says frack too often the robots win cause they r very mad

[GPChannel]
