Starting to code Eldarian

For a better example of how you might draft a conversation (before coding), have a look at Jason's Nalia lovetalk preview.

I'd suggest that unless you hope to have someone else coding for you that you try to learn the D-structure and write directly in D-code for PC-NPC talks. This approach is not for everyone, but it saves mounds of time when you deal with a lot of texts, and I find that it helps me to see the paths of the dialogues more clearly. CHAIN talks, on another hand, can be handled either way, because it's not difficult to mass-replace, say NA: with == BNALIA ~ throughout the whole banter file, and then add CHAIN header on top of each banter. Just make sure that you use sufficient amount of letters to indicate the character to avoid the mix-ups. But iirc first two work for BG2.
