# Visual Novel Framework<\/p>\n
#### This is a Framework to give Mod Maker and others to add VN-like cutscenes\/scenes inside the game.<\/p>\n
## Description<\/p>\n
This mod requires a Script to Play.<\/p>\n
The mod leverages Vanilla Resource Pack system, so installing a script is identical to installing a Resource Pack. Drag and drop into the Resource Pack folder. Inside the script, usually, there should be a ‘trigger word’<\/p>\n
Name a mob this ‘trigger word’ and right click it with the item to talk with it.<\/p>\n
Have fun!!!<\/p>\n
#### Features<\/p>\n
* Dialogue System, VN Style
\n* Custom Scripting \/ Pseudo DSL and a Framework and an SDK for Script Development
\n* Branching Dialogue
\n* Variable Tracking System (inside the game)
\n* 2D Sprite, like Visual Novel
\n* Multiple Sprite System!
\n* Align Character Position and Such~<\/p>\n
#### CUSTOM SCRIPTS!?!?<\/p>\n
* YES!
\n* I made a scripting language just for this in Python!
\n* Use the Hikarin SDK to create and compile scripts!
\n* More info can be found in the SDK Read Me<\/p>\n
#### Compatibility?<\/p>\n
Okay this is an interesting topic.<\/p>\n
Since this mod relies on two things, the Mod Itself and the SDK\/Framework there are some notes about compatibility:<\/p>\n
* Script written using the newest SDK will always be compatible with the Older Version of the mod.
\n* If the script contains a missing feature (Say, you made a script using the latest SDK and run it in the Mod Beta version that doesn’t support background), well, the script will run, just the background won’t change.
\n* Script written using the older SDK will always be compatible with the Newer Version of the mod. (Though, this may vary, but backwards compatibility should always be possible. Report a bug for problems with Compatibility.).<\/p>\n
What about Cross Mod Compatibility? Modpacks?<\/p>\n
* The Visual Novel Engine running inside Minecraft is written in Pure Java it is independent of Minecraft itself.
\n* The ‘modded’ \/ ‘minecraft’ part of thing is the UI. A mod that messes with how Minecraft handle UI (overrides the Guigraphics for example), will not be compatible.
\n* On that note, feel free to use this on your mod, modpacks, whatever~<\/p>\n
#### Coming Soon<\/p>\n
* DBMS for permanent variable and state tracking (Might be out of scope, but ironically available in Alpha version)
\n* Animation Feature (Not out of scope and is being worked on, but ironically is the one getting put on hold)<\/p>\n

### Can I Use This In My Modpack???<\/p>\n
Yes, Go Ahead, This Thing Is Made For That!!!<\/p>\n
But\u2026 Consider letting me know \/ discuss it with me so I can help you with getting it set up.<\/p>\n
Since script development is somewhat separate from Modding, it can be a bit confusing if you’re not used to Python.<\/p>\n
