Alright, awesome.

So, next part.

As for filters. When a filter is checked, does it filter out any potential conversation options relating to that filter based on an if check? So, say that a specific block of dialogue contained a filter for filter target="bottom" type="relation=" value="none", would that conversation option be unavailable if you have no relationship with the character?

Also, if the filter works how I'm assuming it works, are you able to create two instances of the same dialogue option with two different ID's, but the same action name? Where one has a filter, and the other is the default if the filtered dialogue option isn't available?

Like I told you, I'm a programmer myself. My brain automatically settles into taking everything from a programmer's perspective.

However, if you would prefer, I could use pseudo-code. I just enjoy work like this.
In fact, if my work still requires a bunch of reworking in order to work correctly(or you prefer me to change to pseudo-code), I'll actually use pseudo-code like in your example. Though, it may be simpler to do it using pseudo-code simply to pump out lots of scenes in a much shorter amount of time. It's up to you, since it'd still take a while to either proof-read the scripting or convert it to the XML format.

As for the "relation=none" filter, it was more of a question to understand if the filter removes options that simply don't match the filter. So I can build an understanding of what I'm working with to make it easier to work with it.

Like if a specific dialogue option has a filter like target="top" type="legs" value="cat", then unless the player has cat legs the option won't appear in the dialogue menu at all?

The understanding is primarily to make it as easy as possible for you to work the scenes into the system you're working with.

XML
Pseudo-code

Here. Give it a couple looks over, and you can tell me which you prefer.

The second one will be faster on my end, and all the complicated stuff would be left to you(who actually understands the system).
The first one will be slower on my end, and will already have complicated stuff in it, but will probably need proof-reading anyways.

To be honest, pseudo-code would be easier for me to focus on the writing. Which I'm starting to prefer myself.

Ah, I see. I'll stick with pseudo-code then. At least, until I've learned the XML structure and tags enough to be proficient with them.

I expected the change in the gender token, but I honestly wasn't sure how the gender is even accessed through Javascript.

Seeing that the tag for it is much easier than the Javascript is really nice, but there really isn't a big book of tags.

It is, however, nice to know that I did acceptably.

For now, I'll use the pseudo-code, and just peek at and practice any XML code you convert it into. If I get skilled enough at it, then I might go back to doing the XML, as to reduce the work needed for you to implement it. That way you have more time to focus on more important bits.

---------------------------------------------

So, I went ahead and started up the naughty pony scenes. I'd like to get your opinion on what I have so far.

Pseudo

For the cock, what would the tag be? [b:t:cock/type]?

I checked through the Pony Dialogue, and it all works as intended save for one piece.

For some reason, on line 222, a filter isn't working.
<filter target="bottom" type="liking" value="30-" />

I'm not sure why, but this line is keeping the dialogue option from showing up when below 30 likeness.

Since the dialogue before it requires 30 liking to be applicable, perhaps this filter should be omitted?

--- Edit ---

Crap. I tried omitting it, and that causes two of the same option to appear in the dialogue. No idea what that's about.

It doesn't work, still.

I figured out why.

The issue is this(I'm doing this in pseudo for simplicity):


if (fValuePM == "-" && liking >= fValueF)
return false;
else if (liking < fValueF)
return false;

You need to change this to:


if (fValuePM == "-" && liking >= fValueF)
   return false;
else if (fValuePM != "-" && liking < fValueF)
   return false;

I made the change and tested it to make sure it works in a generated world.
The issue is that if you input -, it would always return false.

Because if it's - && liking >= fValueF it's false, otherwise if it's lower than fValueF it's false.
But, we want it so that if it's lower than fValueF and fValuePM is "-" it comes out as true.
