yack

Overview ¶

A tool to run yack dialogs on the console.

The scripting language used for code statements and code conditions is not Squirrel, but JavaScript. However, Squirrel's "<-" assignment operator can be used and simply gets replaced with "=". YES and NO are also pre-defined as true and false.

Usage:

yack [-t texts_file] [-l start_label] [-a start_actor] yack_file

Flags:

-t  A text table file in TSV (tab-separated values) format to look up
    text IDs (i.e. "@12345") and replace them with actual texts.
-l  The start label. Default: "start"
-a  The start actor. Default: "you"
-d  Show debug information, such as animation tags and script errors.

Examples:

yack ExampleDialog.yack
yack -t ExampleTexts.tsv ExampleDialog.yack
yack -t ExampleTexts.tsv -l main ExampleDialog.yack
