Hey,
I'm currently using modern algebra's scripts for quest journal and bestiary and I really like them.
And since my game has a huge amount of different factions, characters and places I decided to implement a way for players to easily keep track of all this things.
I know that I could add an evented thing where you can access all this information with lots of message boxes and choice options, but I don't like this, since it's uncomfortable to use and confusing.
So I thought about this for a while and I think that the best solution would be a similar script to the ones above, but for lore.
In this way the game would keep a consequent appearing, since all three systems use a similar look and it could be perfectly customized to suit my needs and maybe others.
What I thought about is a script very similar to the quest journal.
There are customizable categories like:
- Factions
- Important Characters
- Places
- ...
And within every category you can setup entries from the script, which are hidden at the beginning and can be activated with a script call.
The entries should be designed like this:
- Name
- Picture (to show a sprite or map screen, etc.)
- Description
Is this hard to script or could someone do it?
