**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/coppolaemilio/dialogic/compare/1.4.2...1.4.3
## v1.4.2 - Afterlife
- Fixed an issue with MacOS and text events not adjusting their size properly
- Android exports should work again [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
- Add setting to disable the mouse block of the dialog node [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Default settings adjustments [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
- Fixed the 'default' setting not appearing after you set it for hotkey choices
- Fixed hotkey choice settings layout
- Changed the default status of autofocus from true to false
- A basic touch to advance implementation (#876) [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
- Added support for 9-patch rectangles for Dialog Box textures (#286) [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
- Added finer controls to Text and Box positions (#761) [[lamsorsen](https://github.com/lamsorsen)]
- **Box margin** replaced with **Margin** for the DialogBox settings
- **Box Padding** has been removed from the DialogBox settings, and replaced with **Margin** for the Dialog Text setting to clear up confusion
- The margin Top/Bottom and Left/Right are no longer linked, and can be individually adjusted
- **Please note this change may break some existing themes**
- Added option to recenter character portraits automatically [[thebardsrc](https://github.com/thebardsrc)]
## v1.4.1 - Animations hotfix
- Portrait-Animation fixes:
Because the animations should work both with Controls and Node2Ds, just using node.scale won't work. Now they all use DialogicAnimaPropertiesHelper.get_scale(node), which will automatically use the correct one. [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]. Thanks a lot to @[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)
## v1.4 - Curves Ahead
#### Events
- Wait seconds event can now be set to be skipped with the user's action [[SimonLammer](https://github.com/SimonLammer)]
- New events: `Label Event` and `Go to Event`. This will help you creating an anchor position to go back to.[[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Text event improvements:
- You can now make a list of words like this: `[word1,word2,word3]` and Dialogic will pick a random word from the list. If the word is a Dialogic variable name and it gets picked it will show the value of that variable.
- New commands [signal=argument], [pause=wait_time], [play=soundname], [nw=v] (for waiting until the audio finishes) added to the Text Event [[KvaGram](https://github.com/KvaGram)]
- The Character Join and Character Leave events have been removed in favor of the new `Character Event`. They will be converted automatically. The new events allows for more customization including animations. These use the anima system. Learn more about the [event](./Events/002.md) and the [animations](./Tutorials/AddNewAnimations.md) [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- The `Call Node Event` now sends arguments instead of a single array. If you were using it in one of your timelines you will need to update the functions you are calling to accommodate this. [[AnidemDex](https://github.com/AnidemDex)]
#### Settings/Themes
- Added: `Autofocus choices` in the settings [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Added: A panel with `History functionality` can be enabled and configured in the settings. For further information read the [reference](./Reference/History.md) [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
- You can now set the character dim color from the theme settings [[Tim Krief](https://github.com/timkrief)]
- Removed the setting to dim character portraits from the global settings
- Added a setting to control the dim speed [[thebardsrc](https://github.com/thebardsrc)]
- You can now set a `custom theme per character` [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Added a setting for behavior to re-center the portrait each time it's changed from a text event. This fixes a number of portrait issues and is enabled by default, but is a BREAKING change, so please remember to disable this if you need the old behavior. [[thebardsrc](https://github.com/thebardsrc)]
- New setting to use "Keep Aspect Centered" instead of stretch for the Background event [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- You can now vertically align the text in the dialog box [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- You can now specify hotkeys for the choices or use default hot-keys (1-9) [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
- A new `dialogic_default_action` has been added and is the new default. We encourage you not to mess with the ui_* input actions. [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- You can now make portraits appear in front of the dialog box with a setting in the themes [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- The name label can now be disabled [[nickfla1](https://github.com/nickfla1)]
- A new option will make it so the dialog doesn't get deleted after the last event allowing for it to be fully integrated into your design [[mechPenSketch](https://github.com/mechPenSketch)]
#### Editors
- Character Editor improvements [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- You can now connect signals to the DialogProxyNode (the one you drag and drop in) [[KvaGram](https://github.com/KvaGram)]
- The Timeline Editor has been greatly redesigned resulting in a cleaner view
- You can now preview a timeline by itself from the Timeline Editor [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Improvement of the translations and introduction of German translation [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
#### Script
- You can now change the timeline of the active node with the `Dialogic.change_timeline()` function. This will preserve the previous state (characters, background, music, theme) [[mechPenSketch](https://github.com/mechPenSketch)]
- You can now reference values with their full path in `Dialogic.set_variable()` and `Dialogic.get_variable()` [[thebardsrc](https://github.com/thebardsrc)]
- There is now a function to check if a timeline exists `Dialogic.timeline_exists(@timeline_path)` [[thebardsrc](https://github.com/thebardsrc)]
- For the History feature, the `Dialogic.toggle_history()` function has been added
- There is now a function to go to the next event `Dialogic.next_event()` [[mechPenSketch](https://github.com/mechPenSketch)]
#### Other
- Updates on the documentation and proofreading/fixes made by [[Aurora-Eluvia](https://github.com/Aurora-Eluvia)]
- Improvements on the custom events handling [[idontkillcoyotes](https://github.com/idontkillcoyotes)]

## v1.3 - Save me some time
#### General Editor Stuff
- **Builtin documentation** [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Added a button to open the documentation from the nav bar
- The plugin has now **Editor-translation support** and some labels are translated to Chinese [[magian1127](https://github.com/magian1127)]
- Added some initial Spanish translations
- Replaced the default `/addons/dialogic/Dialog.tscn` node with a proxy that creates a dialog using the `Dialogic.start` function instead of the raw node. This will make it easier to update from version to version since the instantiated node will not be changing a lot from version to version. This also moved and renamed the previous `/addons/dialogic/Dialog.tscn` to `/addons/dialogic/Nodes/DialogNode.tscn` and the `dialog_node.gd` is now called `DialogNode.gd` to be more in line with the rest of the project
- CanvasLayer Argument (Dialogic.start()) added to the CSharp Class
- Creating new resources will automatically start the renaming of it
- New plugin icon! It should now display at its proper scale depending on your rendering scale
#### Timeline Editor:
- A modular **Custom events** implementation [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]. Learn about them [here](./Events/Custom Events/CreateCustomEvents.md).
- Added a **preview image on the portrait picker**, so it is easy to know what sprite or scene you are selecting. Thanks to [EmmaH](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4y59CMiLxWQQVqVFBYLa3Q) for the idea and [Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner) for the implementation
- Added **Voice Line support** for Text and Question Events [[RedXGames](https://github.com/RedXGames)]. Learn how to use it [here](./Tutorials/VoiceLines.md).
- Added option to use a certain region of the audio files [[KvaGram](https://github.com/KvaGram)]
- Partial support for **undo and redo** [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Better **light/custom theme support** for the timeline editor [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Changed the Selected Event Style to only have blue borders and not change event color [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Adding an extra space at the end of the timelines so it is easier to drag and drop new events
- After selecting a conditional, the input field of that event will be selected
- Updated UI of the AudioPickers [[Jowan-Spooner]](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)
- Automatically scrolling to newly created events when you click on a create event button [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- If no characters are present in the current project the character picker is hidden and a prompt was added in the Character join and Character leave events to create one [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
- Copy Timeline Name will now return the full path to that timeline
#### Theme Editor:
- **Updated Audio Settings** [[Tim Krief](https://github.com/timkrief)]:
- you can now select audio for typing, text completed, next event, button hover and button selecting
- Attention: Old typing audio will have to be redone!
- You can now set the **position of the buttons relative to the screen** (Top, Bottom, Center, Left, Right)
- You can now set the choice buttons to be **aligned horizontally or vertically**
- More range for dialog text speed [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
- A default theme is created on new projects [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]
#### Ingame Behaviour
- `ATTENTION`: Rework and improvement of the **saving system**.
This includes some breaking changes. Learn all about the new system and how to transition [here](./Tutorials/Saving.md).
- A **visual novel template** with a working menu is being made. You can find it [here](https://github.com/Dialogic-Godot/visual-novel-template).
- `Dialogic.start()` will now use paths for specific timelines. A fallback is in place, but specificity is preferred. For instance: `Dialogic.start('my-timeline')` will search any timeline with that name; `Dialogic.start('/chapter-1/my-timeline')` will open the timeline namde `my-timeline` inside the folder `chapter-1`.
- If the text is too big for your dialog and you see a scrolling bar, you can use the `up` and `down` keys to scroll [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Rework of the character name coloring (using Regex now) [[Jowan-Spooner](https://github.com/Jowan-Spooner)]
- Regex name compiler now properly escapes special characters [[zaknafean](https://github.com/zaknafean)]

#### Other Stuff:
- Renamed the plugin entry point script from `dialogic.gd` to `plugin.gd` so it better describes what that file does

- `Alignment` you can now align the text displayed (Left, Center, Right)
- `Bottom Gap` The distance between the bottom of the screen and the start of the dialog box.
- `Next animation` Set an animation for the "Next Dialog Indicator"
- Glossary was renamed to Definitions. I feel like the word `Definitions` cover both "variables" and "lore" a bit better.
- Definitions:
- Dynamic types! All variables are just dynamic, so they can be ints, floats or strings.
- The name of a character can be set to be a definition.
- You can display definition values in a Text Event by doing: `[definition name here]`.
- Fixed many resource issues with exported games
- New icons all around.
- Added some basic light theme support. This is not finished, but it is on a much better state than before.
- The events now emit signals. Thank you [Jesse Lieberg](https://github.com/GammaGames) for your first contribution!
- Special thanks to [Arnaud Vergnet](https://github.com/arnaudvergnet) for all your work in improving Definitions, conditional events and many more! 🙇‍♂️
## v0.9 - House keeping
- Video: [https://youtu.be/pL0RWVmlM6g](https://youtu.be/pL0RWVmlM6g)
- Moved `Dialog.tscn` to the root of the addon so it is easier to find.
- Added a link to the documentation from the editor
- Refactored a lot of the code and continued splitting the main plugin code into smaller pieces.
- Rewrote most of the saving and branching systems.
- New tool: Glossary Editor
- You are now able to write extra lore for any word and Dialogic will create a hover card with that extra information.
- You can create `strings` and `number` variables.
- You can access to those variables from the `Dialogic` Class: `Dialogic.get_var('variable_name')`
- In game:
- Portraits changes are reflected in-game.
- Many small improvements.
- Theme Editor:
- New default asset: Glossary Font
- Added new options to customize the glossary popup
- Timeline Editor:
- Added categories for the events.
- Color coded some of the events in the same category to avoid having a distracting rainbow in the timelines.
- Conditional event working, but only with "equal to". More conditions coming later.
- Renamed the `End Branch` file names to match the name of the event. This will break the conditionals you have, but this is the time for making breaking changes. Sorry!
- New `Set Value` event. Change the current value of a glossary variable inside a timeline. This will reset when you close the game, so a saving system will have to be added on the next version.
- New `Emit Signal` event. This event will make the Dialog node emit a signal called `dialogic_signal`. You can connect this in a moment of your timeline with other scripts.
- New `Change Scene` event. You can change the current Scene to whatever `.tscn` you pick. This will happen instantly, but in the future I'll add some transition effects so it is not that abrupt.
- New `Wait Seconds` event. This will hide the dialog and wait X seconds until continuing with the rest of the timeline.
- Created independent Character and Portrait picker for reusing in event nodes.
- Portrait picker added to `Text Events` and `Character Join` events.
- `Text Events` text editor vertical size grows witch each line added.
- `Text Events` now properly create a new message for each line inside the text editor.
- `Text Events` Line count are now displayed next to the preview text when folded.
- Re-adding the `End Branch` event just in case you removed the end and you want to add it again in the timeline.
- Renamed the `Copy Timeline ID` right click menu option to `Copy Timeline Name` since you now have to use that to set the current timeline from code instead of the ID.
- Fixed several bugs that corrupted saved files
- Thanks to [mindtonix](https://github.com/mindtonix) and [Crystalwarrior](https://github.com/Crystalwarrior) for your first contribution on the choice buttons
- New `Dialogic` class. With this new class you can add dialogs from code easily:
```
var new_dialog = Dialogic.start('Your Timeline Name Here')
add_child(new_dialog)
```
To connect signals you can also do:
```swift
func _ready():
var new_dialog = Dialogic.start('Your Timeline Name Here')
add_child(new_dialog)
new_dialog.connect("dialogic_signal", self, 'signal_from_dialogic')
func signal_from_dialogic(value):
print(value)
```
