Garrulous Glaahk Poit Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hey everyone I've just spent the last few hours plugging away desperately at my keyboard writing pulitzer prize winning dialogue for my scenario in the hope that no one will notice the lack of scripting, and detail, and terrain, and towns, and a lot of other important stuff. However It seems that with every line of dialogue I write I get more and more fed up with typing /pasting /organising filler like "state = -1; personality = 7;" So my question is can anyone recommend a good mac dialogue editor of some kind that could help in saving time with minor things of that nature. Any recommendations would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Any standard word processor should have a copy/paste feature. I suggest using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Poit Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Which is exactly what myself and anyone else with half a brain has been doing. Now in case you didn't realise, I was asking if any other way existed (which I doubt but thought it was worth asking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I don't know if Arenax is still around and still intends to port his dialogue editor to Mac, but even if so, you're stuck with copy and paste for the time being.

Garrulous Glaahk Poit Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 damn oh well i didn't really think that there was but hey you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Sorry about the lateness, but I've been away so... Have you tried using macros? Instead of repeatedly coping and pasting, you could set up a macro to run when you pressed a key combination, such as Shift+F9, that could write all of the filler for you. Of course, macros can be nasty, and so you really should watch what you are doing with them. I've lost many hours of work by trying to save 5 minutes and using a macro, but it could work.

Garrulous Glaahk Poit Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 That's an interesting idea although I don't really have much (read any) experience with macros. I'll check it out but for the time being I think i'll just play round with text wrangler and that other app mentioned in the scenario workshop.
