DialogueForest

DialogueForest is an Outliner tool that is focused towards writing game dialogue:
You can easily write multiple long text exchanges in a node, then link said node to other ones through VN-style prompts.

Features

• Write Dialogue Nodes with multiple text blocks and customizable per-block characters, and link them to each other through prompts
• Store your nodes in Dialogue Trees, where they can be displayed either as cards or in tree form
• Pin nodes to access them in one easy list
• Automatically saves your work, even if the app is closed
• Rich text support
• Set predefined characters to easily use when writing
• Set custom metadata for dialogue nodes, either strings, colors or booleans
• Export your Trees to JSON, with rich text formatted using either HTML, Markdown or BBCode
• Basic daily word objective functionality with notifications and streak counting

Translation

You can easily contribute translations to DialogueForest! To help translate, follow these instructions.

Adding a new language (requires Visual Studio 2019 or above)

• Create a new issue with the subject [Translation] fr-CA where you replace fr-CA with whatever language-region code you'll be translating into.
  • If an issue already exists, then don't do this step.
• Fork and clone this repo
• Open in Visual Studio
• In the DialogueForest.Localization project, find the Strings folder.
• Create a new file inside Strings that looks like this: Resources.en-US.resx but using the language you're translating into.
• Copy all the existing data from Resources.en-US.resx into your new Resources.[language].resx
• Translate the strings from english to your language
• Once done, then commit > push > create pull request!

Improving an existing language (can be done with any text editor)

• Fork and clone this repo
• Open the .resx file (e.g. Resources.en-US.resx) you want to edit. Choose any text editor
