I’m new on using html5 platform of GD, and on GD5.
I’m currently working on a tiny project with gd5, and i can’t figure out how load and properly use a structured file… On GD4 it would not have been a problem on native platform and xml files, but i can’t use similar solution with GD5.
Basically, i wish to have multiple files containing all texts of my game (dialogs, ui , descriptions, etc.), in different langages : english, french, swedish, etc.
Regarding actions in GD5, i suppose the text should be formatted in JSon… But i fail to load a local file from the root folder (or subfolder) of the game… Is it at least possible (yet) with gd5 ? And will it work on any device (desktop and packed for android/ios) ?
Any idea ? I can’t figure what’s happen with action “load a structured file in memory” (and not even sure the file is loaded at all… i fail to access groups).
I’ve seen the discuss on github about loading JSon as ressource, but i was thinking i was missing something with the “load a structured file in memory” action.
I’ll use JSon in a var until it’s implemented
Well, troubles, I can’t get my syntax to work, but JSon is valid :
{
{
"a01":{
"bug":{
"description":{
"0":"Another One !",
"1":"At least this one is dead !"
},
"interaction":{
"0":"You can't do anything with this.",
"1": "No! It's not edible !"
}
},
"knive":{
"description":{
"0":"A bloody knife lay on the ground.",
"1":"Hopefully, it's not my blood."
},
"interaction":{
"0":"You looted the knife."
}
},
"greg":{
"description":{
"0":"It's Greg.",
"1":"He looks badly blooded.",
"2":"Maybe you could try to wake him up.."
},
"interaction":{
"0":"Hey we need to talk!"
}
}
}
}
}
The syntax is not recognized (symbol + is missing, quote not closed), in action “Parse JSon String”, even if i put the Json in a var…
I tried to replace all double quote by simple quote, but it’s not a solution for me ( texts contains simple quote in sentences). I tried by adding slashes, but nothing work…
Nope the useless {} (in first and last position) are my fault, it’s added by the forum because i added line break)
Here is the right one, and it still doesn’t work :
{
"a01":{
"bug":{
"description":{
"0":"Another One !",
"1":"At least this one is dead !"
},
"interaction":{
"0":"You can't do anything with this.",
"1": "No! It's not edible !"
}
},
"knive":{
"description":{
"0":"A bloody knife lay on the ground.",
"1":"Hopefully, it's not my blood."
},
"interaction":{
"0":"You looted the knife."
}
},
"greg":{
"description":{
"0":"It's Greg.",
"1":"He looks badly blooded.",
"2":"Maybe you could try to wake him up.."
},
"interaction":{
"0":"Hey we need to talk!"
}
}
}
}
}
, in the meantime you could just copy the entire json text and paste it in a scene/global variable, then convert the variable into a structure through events.
