Template:Transcript
This template is used to format transcripts. Most transcripts have been taken directly from the game files and converted into readable wiki entries.
- Files
- Radio and TV:
media/radio/RadioData.xml
- CD and VHS:
media/lua/shared/Translate/EN/Recorded_Media_EN.txt
- This is extracted and auto-generated from:
media/lua/shared/RecordedMedia/recorded_media.lua
- This is extracted and auto-generated from:
Will from The Indie Stone has stated the following regarding the state of media in the game: “I think it's likely that as other features go into the game I will be returning to improve it all” - so expect changes.
If you wish to use an open-source program to extract the XML file into (nearly) completed wiki entries, contact Thing II (talk).
Usage
Basic usage
{{Transcript |text= '''person1:''' blah blah blah '''person2:''' blah blah blah }}
Using timestamps and icon
Using timestamp
and endstamp
will create an anchor, so it can be used for anchor links, e.g. [[Template:Transcript#timestamp_5400]]
or [[Template:Transcript#endstamp_5730]]
. This is particularly useful for references to link to a particular transcript, especially for pages with multiple transcripts, such as radio channels.
{{Transcript |timestamp=5400 |endstamp=5730 |icon=radio |text= '''person1:''' blah blah blah '''person2:''' blah blah blah }}
Using {{Transcript/row}}
This subtemplate is used to create "blocks" for each person/source, rather than repeating the person's name for each line, and keeping the indented styling. Each person's dialogue should be contained within a /row.
{{Transcript |timestamp=5400 |endstamp=5730 |icon=radio |text= {{Transcript/row|person1|blah blah blah}} {{Transcript/row|person2|blah blah blah}} }}
Using {{mood}}
and {{xp}}
These templates can be used alongside the {{tooltip}}
to show the moodle effect and experience gained from listening to the dialogue.
{{Transcript |timestamp=5400 |endstamp=5730 |icon=radio |text= {{Transcript/row|person1|{{tooltip|blah blah blah|Boredom {{mood|-1}}}}}} {{Transcript/row|person2|{{tooltip|blah blah blah|Aiming {{xp|1}}}} }}
