Macro/Hotkey to skip pages of NPC dialog - English

#1 Added by Relikian 7 years ago Report | Quote [en]

Is there any way I can use my keyboard instead of my mouse to skip NPC dialog pages or even select among multiple dialog options?

I thank you very much for your time in advance.

Quick answer: No.

Longer answer: You should be reading carefully all those dialogues if you are a new player in the beginning island. They contain much information.

hes not asking for 'don't read' button, hes asking for an alternative way besides 'clicking' the arrow or link in a dialog bubble

I know that, hence my short reply.

I inferred that he wanted a way to do it quickly, without moving his hands from the keyboard. Doing it quickly is contra-indicated on Silan. Hence my long reply.

Ok thank you for taking the time to reply, is not cause I want it to be faster, is cause I am a coder and I find it frustrating to have to be pressing mouse for dialog options, I rather focus my attention on other aspects.
Maybe when I find the time to be playing with the source code I can find some sort of solution, or maybe not.
Though I am indeed with all the intention of reading this thoroughly so don't mind me, and thank you for saving me of a vast ammount of net browsing and grinding for an answer to this question, I am trully thankful.

Welcome to Atys. If you find a solution, I suspect you are not alone in wanting a way to bypass the mouse.

From a technical standpoint I see a problem detecting which dialog is to be advanced / skipped. You can talk to different NPCs and have them pop up dialog at the same time if I'm not mistaken?

Yes. It could be applied to current target, but still...

I remember the pain clicking endless dialogs when I was new. But there is not that many 'bubble' interactions later. In fact, it was pain to get familiar with (some) UI "look&feel". Some things became better during the time (due to work of developers).

Anyway, still more fun to play than not to play :P
