[open Outcast] Dialogue System
Wed Apr 07, 2010 2:52 pm

As everyone knows Crysis has a feature rich Dialogue System including support for all kinds of facial expressions and lipsync. The trouble starts though as soon as you try to make dialogues nonlinear: the integrated system only allows Dialogues which run straight from top to bottom.

Since interactive dialogues will play an important role in open Outcast we had to find a better solution. Together with our Game Designers we set up following feature list for our own implementation:

  • Dialogue flow is nonlinear (influenced by chosen options and logic / Lua scripts)
  • Dialogues are defined in XML files
  • Translation support
  • Different camera modes that are configured over a config file
  • Triggering actions that can be defined using the Flow Graph System of Crysis
  • Starting sequences and optionally resuming the Dialogue again after they finished
  • Support for Lipsync and facial expressions
  • Providing simple Flow Nodes so Leveldesigners can integrate Dialogues easily
  • Skipping lines of the dialogue

Now all of these features have been implemented, but see for yourself.
