    Heya everyone,

    I just wanted to point out a pretty good dialog editor that was originally written for Arcanum but which is pretty well compatible with ToEE. You may have to know what's impossible in ToEE dialogs though (which may be possible in Arcanum dialogs). Also, you may have to load some of the original ToEE dialogs to get a good grip on it.
    The link:

    http://arcanum.alkar.net/game/edit/files/diarea.zip

    Note that it's originally in Russian, so you'll have to switch it to English. To do so (in case it starts in Russian), go to the fifth element in the top menu (first will be "File", second will be "Descriptions", third will be "Edit", etc. -- fifth is the one you want), then choose the only menu item that has an ARROW in it (a subselection), and choose the topmost option from the subselection.
    I hope you enjoy it.

    By the way, you can configure ToEEWB to use the above-mentioned editor to open dialogs.

    BTW, what do you guys use to edit dialogs besides a text editor?
    Any other good editors around? That's one thing that we still lack - a good dialog editor that was originally written for ToEE. I would have written such a thing myself, but unfortunately I'm too concentrated on map editing issues to create a dialog editor atm.

    I write in Notepad, then check it in Proto Ed (which puts things in columns and pretty quickly shows up any catastrophic errors like missing brackets)
