The link to the example mission in the first post is working.

[PeterBitt]

ok thx. i was trying the one that had the big headline "example mission"

Example mission
And finally, here it is. The example mission contains everything that has been explained here and shows you mainly how to manage the files. It contains voice samples from the Harvest Red campaign, please don't be surprised that the conversation is a bit out of context

I cleaned that link mess up now, all links should now point to the working one.

Thanks so much.

Jezuro, could you confirm that Conversation System + AI + Dedicated server not work at all?

Try running your example mission on a dedicated server, only player says the lines, AI doesn't.

Haven't had the chance to test that, kbTell always works only locally though.

What do I have to do to be able to have the exact same conversation with the same unit multiple times?

Is it common practice to use the kbTell for people talking in game, talking in cinematics, etc? Why would someone not just use say or groupRadio for speech?

[CameronMcDonald]

It's common use for official missions. kbTell has the useful feature of being able to switch from spoken words (i.e. say) to radio (i.e. sideradio, groupradio etc) depending on the conversing units' distance from each other.

I've been doing conversations the old way after slowly learning on my own. I had read through this earlier and was completely confused, now I'm reading through this and understand it much more clearly. Still, since I don't currently have voice actors and the dialogue is all relegated to chat channels, is it worth it to switch? I will experiment with this sometime soon anyway just to see what it's about...
