The dialogue window was a huge pain because of handling multiple language support. The goal is to have it look like a text messaging app. Right now I need to work on having shorter text align right – but as you know I hate GUI code. Certain conversations are for quests, some are for Lore and rpg, and others will consist of the npc ‘shouting’ in the chat window.

Looks like I have all of the correct data being passed back and forth for crafting, but what else is new… I always have issues with the GUI code. This will look pretty normal soon enough. Recipes can currently take anywhere from 1-5 ingredients to craft. Crafting is for the ‘finishing’ tradeskills which currently consist of alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, and cooking.
