LinguistInNeed Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hello all! I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with an issue I'm having. I'm a researcher wanting to create a corpus, (basically a bunch of text analysed using a computer,) with all the dialogue from DA:O. However, I know absolutely nothing about mods and a lot of the tools people use here that would help me achieve that. Is there anyone here who could talk me through extracting the dialogue? My end goal is to have each .dlg file stored as a plain text file. I have the Dragon Age Toolset installed at the moment as well. Does anyone know how I would get from Point A (all the dialogue files as they come and the Dragon Age Toolset installed) to Point B (the .dlg files converted to plain text files)? Thank you so much! :geek: :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaraC Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Okay, I can suggest 2 different approaches to retrieve dialogue text. Either you can retrieve conversation lines from the SQL database by query. (MS SQL Management Studio Express installation required) More info here on the toolset wiki Or you can extract data with this tool from Nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/271/?Search for a tlk file in your preferred language on your local disk, e.g. singleplayer_en-en.tlk. Open it with the TLK-Editor and export as text file. Be prepared for some clean-up work. The export will contain codex entries, empty lines for facial animation and interaction with placeables.Both approaches are valid and should you get started.
