Cut-Scene Modding

How to do a conversation:
Look at the whmtg script and try to alter it Wink

The needed commands are Speak, SpeakNoWait and Narrate

Speak is used for the initialization.
First argument is how many faces you want (4 seems to be the maximum)
Second argument is the background graphic behind the portraits (too lazy to dump the strings)
Now variable length: First_arg * 4 arguments follow
These are always: head_id, unk_id (just use 0, 1, 2 and 3), x-pos, y-pos
No idea how the head map to ids, 0 is Morgan, 1 is Klaus, 59 is Dread King. You can use the <head> section in Wh32Edit database.xml as a reference, but the id mapping is not correct.

Example
Speak 4 2 59 0 176 78 60 1 346 122 61 2 28 204 62 3 496 182

SpeakNoWait is second initialisation step
Call this for any head_id used in Speak.

Example
SpeakNoWait 59 SpeakNoWait 60 SpeakNoWait 61 SpeakNoWait 5062
When you add 5000 to the argument a injured head is rendered (used for Volkmar after consulting the libar mortis or how that was called). An injured head is rendered, too, when the unit with that head is in the party and is heavily injured (you probably noticed this feature already).

Narrate
Now the talking begins.

First arg is the head_id.
Second arg controls what kind of animation is played by the head (like look right/left, move forward/back)
Third arg is the file to play.
Forth arg is unused.
Fifth can be 1 or 0, when 1 the head is not disabled after finished talking. Use this when the next Narrate is done by the same head.

Example
Narrate 59 2 "KF036" 0 0
