| − | == | + | == How speech works on Blood Omnicide == |
| + | Speeches are activated by a game scripts which calls a ''character'':''group'':''key'' name to be played. | ||
| − | + | Characters are defined in <locale>/strings/characters.nsx file (also can be defined in any other .nsx file under <locale>/strings/ in the [character] group). | |
| − | + | Groups are speech groups, defined inside NSX files in the ''[speech_<groupname>]'' style. There are separate groups for kain/monologues, scene speech, gossip etc. | |
| − | Character+Grops+Keys form | + | Keys are key name inside speech groups, a value given to that key sets a text for speech. |
| + | |||
| + | Character+Grops+Keys form an unique speech, which have a text (a value of key) and points to sound file. The sound file path is expected to be: <basepath>/key.ogg or / <speechbase>/key.wav. The ''basepath'' is a basepath for speech files which are set per-character in the [speech] group (defined in very top of speech.nsx). For example, basepath for speech of kain character is 'speech/kain/'. | ||

| − | Speech text are subtitles text | + | Speech text are subtitles text which also have gaps to break speech in several parts to be played in sequence. it is important to break speech text into a parts as blood omen have very large speech files, more than 50 seconds, which will take a half-screen for a text if shown all at once. |
| − | The | + | The gaps are set in <seconds> tags, where ''seconds'' is a time, when text after <>-tag will be displayed. |
| + | |||
| + | The last <seconds> tag sets a length of whole speech, so if speech sound file get missing, speech are displayed anyway. | ||
