As I replied to Ian, no true programming knowledge should be needed, but I
intended to use 3-5 simple commands in the text files to allow the best
possibilities. For example:
BOOL[0]: There will be a ton of preset bool variables for you to check
IF..THENs in the game.
SAPI: Speak text with SAPI.
WAVPLAY: Play a wave file.
WAIT: Wait until SAPI or wave file is done playing until moving on in the
script (unless a key is pressed).
Cheers,
gamehawk
