It would be nice to have a way to prompt users for text input, for example:

• Bot says What’s your name?
• user inserts [NAME]

and then to insert the user input as appropriate during the conversations, to make the experience more personal, e.g.:

• What do you think, [NAME]?

would be nice to give the whole nav bar some love...

Title kind of explains it all. If there is too much text, it will load just very slowly.

on medium screens, the undo link in navbar gets misaligned:

It should sit snugly next to the back button on the left of the navbar

How to reproduce

Install dependencies

npm install

build story format

grunt package

(optionally depending on your setup: move built format to Tweego storyformats directory)

compile .twee to .html

tweego --output=./docs/trialogue-demo-test.html ./docs/trialogue-demo.twee  --format=Trialogue

open restulting .html file

open ./docs/trialogue-demo-test.html

result:

⚠ TypeError: marked is not a function 

Things I've tried so far

• removing node_modules/ and package-lock.json and doing a fresh npm install
• checking out a prior state of the repo from the git history
• making a fresh clone of the repo
• importing marked into the browser by adding a script tag to the restuling .html file: <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/marked.min.js"></script>

I am unsure why this was not an issue before or what has changed that introduced this error.

Curious if others can reproduce this issue?

Hello. I like your project and I would like to use it for an exhibition as a narrative tool. I would like to customize background color and other visual staff but I don't know how to do it : in the CSS stylesheet ? in the Javascript stylesheet ? I'm not a coder ; I know several things about things about Twine but excuse me for this question...

In Harlowe / Sugarcube it’s possible to display a passage directly within another passage through the display macro. Can the same thing be done in trialogue/paloma?

Something about some part of my text just won't continue at all. It will three dot and then not load anything.

Hi, plese tell me, how i can create auto save, for dialog process

First message scrolls out of sight on mobile.

I think this is being caused the interaction of two things:

1. vh ignores whether the URL bar of the browser is minimized or not, so the page is too tall if the bar is open
2. After each message is sent, the main section scrolls all the way to the bottom so you can see the new message

Is there a way to prevent this happening?

Would be good to have a step by step guide of how to use Trialogue in Twine, straight in the README of this repo

see example: https://github.com/SlovakNationalGallery/fillafulla.sng.sk/blob/master/css/fillafulla.css

The "you" avatar/circle that should appear to the right of the user's text messages overlaps with the message itself on current Safari/webkit browsers. This effectively means it shows up incorrectly on any iOS device, regardless of the browser (because Apple requires all mobile browsers to use webkit). Example:

It appears to be a problem with the ::after pseudoelement. I don't know CSS well enough to know how how to fix this across all devices. But, adding this webkit-specific CSS seems to fix the problem on recent versions of iOS/Safari:

_::-webkit-full-page-media, _:future, :root .chat-passage-wrapper[data-speaker="you"]::after {
  /* Safari 10.1+ */
	margin-left: 5px;
}

I´d like my chatbot to ask the player a question. Once the player answered the chatbot makes a comment and make a pauses of several minutes before asking the next question. How can I achieve that with Trialogue?

Here´s my attempt, using following piece of code:

<%
_.delay(
function(){
story.show("Alles klar!");
},
8000
);
%>

The delay works...somehow. But there are also unwanted things happening. When the delay of 8 seconds starts, the Bot displays an empty message. When the delay ends, the written message is displayed but without having been visibly "typed" by the bot...

Whereas the goal I am trying to achieve is that the bot asks the player something, the player answers, the bot answers.... and then there is a pause of 5 minutes before the bot asks the next question.

could be based on @videlais story format template
https://github.com/videlais/example-story-format

which will be updated soon, see https://twitter.com/Videlais/status/1545307836380487686?s=20&t=JOxShqvR6m0IU2jVDYlbPw

This would also address #30

Better to fall back on default speaker name and log a helpful warning to console

The outdated version of Grunt is causing a lot of security issues.
We could look into updating Grunt's major version, but I feel like a grander rewrite of the build process might be more future proof.

See for inspiration the node-based build process used in Snowman:
https://github.com/videlais/snowman/blob/master/scripts/build-format.js

Not a lot of experience here, so any help is appreciated.

Hello, I've been looking at Trialogue story format in Twine, but I get the following error whenever I preview your demo project:

An error has occurred. You may be able to continue, but some parts may not work properly.
Error [tw-user-script-0]: inject_nav_back is not defined.

I see information about these "helper" functions in your documentation, but I don't know where in the file these functions are supposed to be initialized or how to troubleshoot them.

Can someone please help me?

I have an issue with the messages. I have a couple of bots 'talking' with each other in the beginning, and the deployment of the messages is too fast. I want to adjust the delay of the next message so it seems more natural as if someone was actually writing it.

here is the code for the delay:
<%
story.showDelayed("NAMEofPASSAGE");
%>

and I tried adding the amount of delay I want at the end but it didn't help.
<%
story.showDelayed("NAMEofPASSAGE", 5000);
%>
