Mob Talker Redux

This is a Framework to give Mod Maker and others to add VN-like cutscenes/scenes inside the game.

If my voice too slow... Just, play at double the speed

Foreword

This is my attempt at recreating the old Mob Talker Mod. At first this was going to be a standalone mod. But after banging my head, I realized I have to create DSL, and SDK, and a Framework if I want to revive this mod.

(geez, no wonder people decided not to touch this)

Description

This mod requires a Script to Play.

The mod leverages Vanilla Resource Pack system, so installing a script is identical to installing a Resource Pack. Drag and drop into the Resource Pack folder. Inside the script, usually, there should be a 'trigger word'

Name a mob this 'trigger word' and right click it with the Mob Talker Item to talk with it.

Here's a Resource Pack I made containing all of the Mod's Current Features: Drive

There's Andr and Cupa's script, just install it like a resource pack and try talking to any mob you named Andr with a name tag.

Have fun!!!

Features

• Dialogue System, VN Style
• Custom Scripting / Pseudo DSL and a Framework and an SDK for Script Development
• Branching Dialogue
• Variable Tracking System (inside the game)
• 2D Sprite, like Visual Novel
• Multiple Sprite System!
• Align Character Position and Such~
• Non-standard image rendering made easy~

CUSTOM SCRIPTS!?!?

• YES!
• I made a scripting language just for this in Python!
• Use the Mob Talker SDK to create and compile scripts!
• More info can be found in the SDK Read Me

Compatibility?

Okay this is an interesting topic.

Since this mod relies on two things, the Mod Itself and the SDK/Framework there are some notes about compatibility:

• Script written using the newest SDK will always be compatible with the Older Version of the mod.
• If the script contains a missing feature (Say, you made a script using the latest SDK and run it in the Mod Beta version that doesn't support background), well, the script will run, just the background won't change.
• Script written using the older SDK will always be compatible with the Newer Version of the mod. (Though, this may vary, but backwards compatibility should always be possible. Report a bug for problems with Compatibility.).

What about Cross Mod Compatibility? Modpacks?

• The Visual Novel Engine running inside Minecraft is written in Pure Java it is independent of Minecraft itself.
• The 'modded' / 'minecraft' part of thing is the UI. A mod that messes with how Minecraft handle UI (overrides the Guigraphics for example), will not be compatible.
• On that note, feel free to use this on your mod, modpacks, whatever~

Coming Soon

• DBMS for permanent variable and state tracking (Might be out of scope, but ironically available in Alpha version)
• Animation Feature (Not out of scope and is being worked on, but ironically is the one getting put on hold)

Can I Use This In My Modpack???

Yes, Go Ahead, This Thing Is Made For That!!!

But... Consider letting me know / discuss it with me so I can help you with getting it set up.

Since script development is somewhat separate from Modding, it can be a bit confusing if you're not used to Python.

Multiplayer Incompatible

(sorry for that, still working on it)
