Post by: Tabby on March 08, 2019, 10:25:25 pm

First you need HTH Offline version 0.670 or later.
Download HTHvT0670:

There is a PDF with beginners manual in it.
If you don't understand something, ask in this forum section.

I was just wondering for future reference, is it possible to have the character say the player's name?
ie. Hello Jack. I've missed you. Obviously specific to the player.

Last question. Are we planning on redoing rio, bella and charlotte's dialogue? I think that it would be a waste of time if we did.

No there is way to print variable value in the character speech text. I would have to implement such option, including dealing with undefined and default values.
But is it worth? I pretty doubt that anyone fills in the player's name.

Regarding those 3 talking sprites, I want to keep existing dialog and just add some minor extensions. For example I've already added a branch where Rio won't do threesome scene unless the other character is already familiar with player. I would like to have the same condition in Vixxxen/Bella and Cindy/Carmen dialog.
We have almost no chance of getting female voice (other than crappy synthetic text-to-speech) to make something as good. For that reason I haven't started doing synchronized sprite mouth movement scripts.
