Text Commands
The game uses the format [key:value] for text based commands in most cases. However, some keys do not have a value, and as such those will use [key].
All of the text commands are detailed below.
| Special Note | Most of the instructions regarding dialogue trees, message box styles, who's talking etc. is handled by the game itself, so you only need to worry about translating the presented text and keeping the text instructions that are present intact. |
|---|
[eol]
End of line. Use [eol] to signify the end of a line. This allows multiple paragraphs of dialogue from the same character. The game will stop writing text to the screen and wait for the player to press the button.
[nl]
New line. Use [nl] to force the text to start drawing on the next line. Please note that it is not necessary to use this for wrapping text, as the game will wrap text automatically. Instead, it should be used for emphasis in the dialogue.
[icon:value]
Controls the character graphic that is used in this dialogue. Often this is specified by the game itself, so it is not necessary to start dialogue with this. However, you can use it in the middle of dialogue to change expressions.
| Value | Results |

none

Changes to not having any avatar on the screen. |
