How exactly i make dialogues

[Ret Neychozken]

I want someone to make it clear for me:

 

How to do a dialogue?

Which is the best/ideal format

How?

Did i mention how?

 

I have been searching tutorials for like an hour and none of them worked for me.

I have a question, does the lump that contains the conversations needs to have a specific name (like other lumps with text languages do), or i can just leave it with any name.

If the map it's going to be used with is UDMF, the lump is called DIALOGUE. If the map isn't UDMF, then the lump is called
DIALOGxx, with the (xx) standing for the number of the map.(ex. the dialogue lump for MAP01 would be DIALOG01)
Note that it isn't strictly neccessary to have a independent DIALOGUE lump if the map is UDMF. Dialogue in the map can be edited
like scripts can in the map editor.(this example is from Ultimate Doom Builder)

Okay, thanks for the clarification. :)

And to add new features, you can now forget the old page numbers, adn use strings instead.

 

This is the new "pageName", and into "nextPage" you could also fit in string.
