Dialogue Maker v4.0.0

✨ New features

⏸️ Wait tags

You can now pause mid-message by using "[/wait time=any number]", where "any number" is...well, any number! For example, "Hello, [/wait time=0.5]Christian!" waits 0.5 seconds before saying "Christian".

🖼️ Conditional themes [BREAKING CHANGE]

I'm personally not a fan of using Scale everywhere because it can overstretch themes and not follow my intended design. So, I added a couple of server settings to change the default theme based on the minimum viewport width and minimum viewport height. I was inspired by "@media screen" in CSS.

Here's an example where Dialogue Maker defaults to BareBonesDialogue, but shifts the default to BigAndBoldDialogue when the client's viewport width is at least 320 pixels:

DefaultTheme = {
  {
    MinimumViewportWidth = 0,
    MinimumViewportHeight = 0,
    ThemeName = "BareBonesDialogue"
  },
  {
    MinimumViewportWidth = 320,
    MinimumViewportHeight = 0,
    ThemeName = "BigAndBoldDialogue"
  }
};

⬆️ Migrating to v4.0.0

Fix scripts

You need to press the "Fix Scripts" button after updating the plugin. This will replace the internal scripts with the new versions.

Rename "GetDefaultTheme" to "GetDefaultThemes"

Look in the "DialogueMakerRemoteConnections" folder in ReplicatedStorage for "GetDefaultTheme". Rename it to "GetDefaultThemes".

Update NPC settings

Copy your NPC settings into a notepad, delete the NPC settings script, reopen the NPC settings, then update the necessary settings.

Update server settings

Replace your "DefaultTheme" server setting value with:

DefaultTheme = {
  {
    MinimumViewportWidth = 0,
    MinimumViewportHeight = 0,
    ThemeName = "BigAndBoldDialogue"
  }
};

Change the theme name as necessary.
