Hi everyone! The main point of my post is to ask for your help in creating a dialogue spliting script/tool. I want to split all the speeches based on their own id into different files. If there is anyone who is willing to help I would really appreciate it. Here are the speeches https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...q8I/edit#gid=0

Thanks

Each speech has unique ID. So, how to split it?
And why to split? What is your original goal?

I want to split in different files for those IDs that aren't connected to each other, in separate files. The reason why I want it, is because I want to share these split files to people,as we're about to start the dubbing in our language for Gothic 2 Returning. I have separated nameless hero's speeches. So all these IDs in here are from all the other characters apart nameless. It was easy for me to extract nameless' speeches in emeditor by extractring "AI_OUTPUT(OTHER, SELF...),but for the other characters things are different "AI_OUTPUT(SELF,OTHER..), they're all the same and splitting them is hard the way I want it. I removed the AI_OUTPUT(SELF,OTHER..),but I have a copy of with"AI_OUTPUT(SELF,OTHER..)" if that's gonna help in any way.

Is it possible to run mod with Union (until Main Menu is shown)?
I tried this plugin with G2A orignal, it creates Dialogs subfolder with repliques splitted by npc they belongs to.

I have copied the .vdf files that you left me, into Data folder. the game runs, but where is the subfolder meant to be created? I see no subfolder.

I put some effort to make the plugin compatible with Ikarus:
- hooked Daedalus functions ignored
- recursive calls ignored

I tested it with Dirty Swamp and Odyssee (the last took several minutes to execute, but result looks OK)

[dolorosa]

In the root of the game, ex. D:\Gothic II\Dialogs\
Try start the game again.
Does plugin works? You should notice that loading to the menu takes a lot longer.
Try create subfolder yourself and start the game. Will it be removed? The algoritm is: delete the subfolder if it exists and create it again.

I have added some logging around filesystem operations:

I tried everything you told. I created the folder because it wasn't existing. Maybe I'm missing something. Should I install union before? If yes, which version should I install? Maybe the time-stamp of the .vdf should be higher? Like 2042?

I have updated the post above your answer, download the plugin from there.
Of couse you should install Union, the last version (Union Patch and Union 1.0j).
Try again.

It worked, thanks, but you wouldn't know who's speaking, whether it's nameless or somebody else in these files. Can you check my google docs sheet again please? I managed to sort ID(meaning numbers this time) by using easy gothic mod translator tool. Could you make a script that can extract all different IDs in different files along with the speeches? Or a function in google docs that could extract them in new different sheets? I will share the link to you so you can check it. I think extracting based on the numbered IDs should be easier(theoretically speaking) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...q8I/edit#gid=0

Why you dont know? The file names are IDs of self NPCs. Hero repliques start with tab symbol.

Now that Returning AB supports Union, I said that I should be able to use the patch you created months ago. But now when I launch the game, an error shows up. I changed the display language of my windows into Russian thinking that I was going to be able to understand the error message, but no success. I know you wouldn't be able to understand either because that's no language, it's more of an encoder reading problem. But maybe you have an idea of what causes the error. The error shows up just as soon as I enter the game. https://ibb.co/52kS78z

Plugins are prohibited in their mod.
Try renaming the plugin dll to zBinkFix.dll or even replacing it inside Union.vdf. Not sure if this will help.

You're magic, it worked no bother, thanks very much once again!

Hi, is there any way that you could modify the plugin and make the hero's dialogues have a special character in front of them, anything that would distinguish them from the npcs dialogues. I know that you used the tab symbol, but why I'm asking for this, is because there is only one person who is dubbing nameless, and I want to extract all the hero's dialogues in a separate file by using EmEditor. So any symbol written in front of the hero's dialogues would do the job. Maybe an X or a number.

can't you use the tab symbol (or exactly 4 spaces followed by [ at the beginning of a line?

You're right, it seems to work even with the tab spaces. Thanks!

Hi again, I have just noticed that there is one file named "warn" that gets generated while using the plugin. I will attach the file here.

You should decompile this 3 functions and parse AI_Output's manually, because the plugin doesn't know who is "slf" and who is "oth".
You can use Union_MarvinHelper plugin with decompile console command.

So, I have noticed another thing, dialogs of some npcs aren't provided. I come up with an example. So Dusty doesn't seem to have a generated file. I went to check the npc names where all my text is translated. So Dusty name is:"XBS_7506_DUSTY", there is no such a file named like that, in the dialogs folder. And I am 100% sure that Dusty has dialogs in Returning, not many, but he does. Or there is Asgard, same situation:"XOR_12206_WARRIORNATURE". Maybe now that returning supports Union you don't have to "- hook Daedalus functions ignored - recursive calls ignored", as you said at the start of the topic, maybe this has some impact.
