Thank you for using DVN!

DVN is a Godot Visual novel example project.

If you need help using features of DVN, click "Search Help" on the Top Left of the middle editor window (to the left of "Inspector")

DVN is made up of 3 new classes:

• DVNScene: The class that contains all the functions that DVN uses, every scene should inherit from this class, as well as dvn.tscn. If you want to make a new scene, press ctrl+shift+N (or click scene>new inherited scene) and choose to inherit from dvn.tscn. you can edit your inherited scene to your heart's content, but editing dvn.tscn itself, or dvn.gd will change the way DVN itself works. If you want to add to DVNScene's functions, feel free to. You can also just call super() and then run your custom code.

etc.

In your scene vvv

func create_text_balloon(): super() #YOUR ADDITIONAL CODE HERE

-DVNLabel: An extension of Godot Dialogue Manager's DialogueLabel compatible with talktones and autotext.

Within your Balloon scene you can set exports for talktones, voice clips, autotext etc.

You shouldn't be needing to call anything from here, but if you have trouble with the way your dialogue is being drawn, feel free to check how it works.

-DVNBalloon: A copy of Godot Dialogue Manager's default balloon, configured to work with DVNLabels as well as DialogueLabels. There's a region in the script for label references, feel free to add them there (you can also add them to your scene's script, or a global script). You can also edit dvn_balloon.gd yourself, it's highly recommended you make a copy and edit it if you want your baloon running custom code.

DVN is simply an add on to an addon. You can make new classes and shit if you want. Keep and mind i will be updating DVN through git if needed, so i recommend you dont edit anything within the DVN folder, unless you're willing to resolve conflicts.

Dialogue is handled by Nathan Hoad's "Godot Dialogue Manager" extension for help with anything related to the Godot Dialogue Manager, consult its GitHub page https://github.com/nathanhoad/godot_dialogue_manager

For help with anything Godot related, check the documentation. Either by clicking "Search Help" in the top right of the script editor, By right clicking a node type, or by going to https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/

DVN is made for Godot 4.3, keep in mind there are major differences between Godot 4 and Godot 3. Mostly function names.

DVN is CC0 open source <------ lame way of saying, use my code i dont care what you do with it, and you dont need to credit me

my name is TY TIRAMISU, if you do want to credit me :>
