Dynamic Dialogue Framework (DDF) for OStim Standalone

Credits and Inspiration

Dynamic Dialogue Framework originally evolved from Dynamic Subtitles for OStim. The initial concept of displaying UI-based pseudo-subtitles during OStim scenes, together with the use of external JSON line packs, was inspired by OSpicyLines.

Special thanks to bononobo, author of OSpicyLines, for the original inspiration and for helping establish this type of dialogue system within the OStim community.

DDF has since grown into an independent framework with its own implementation, condition system, role resolution, voice support, and dialogue-pack tools, but its early conceptual inspiration should still be properly acknowledged.

Dynamic Dialogue Framework for OStim Standalone

Dynamic Dialogue Framework adds context-aware dialogue, optional voice playback, and custom subtitles to OStim Standalone scenes through a lightweight, DLL-driven system.

Rather than selecting dialogue solely from the current animation name, the framework can react to the active OStim Action, actor roles, scene speed, relationship status, follower status, furniture type, actor count, mouth availability, and other scene conditions.

It includes a ready-to-use Simple Mode, demonstration voice files, and editable templates for creators who want to build and share their own dialogue or voice packs.

Version 1. 7

Dialogue conditions have changed in this version. Please redownload the updated dialogue pack after updating DDF. You can find it here

Added Author Mode. All available conditions can be viewed in-game, and dialogue text can be edited directly. Changes are written back to the corresponding JSON file.

Added localization files for the DDF interface.

Author Mode now supports Chinese text input. This requires SimpleIME and SimpleIME Chinese Input Bridge for SKSE Menu Framework.

No new game is required.

Version 1. 6

Adjusted when dialogue and voice pack data is loaded. Voice packs are now read automatically during each game load. You no longer need to reload them manually during gameplay unless you modify the JSON files while the game is running.

Added separate Player and NPC subtitle/voice switches to the SKSE Menu. All options are enabled by default. You can disable subtitles or voice playback independently for the Player and NPCs.

Adjusted voice-selection priority so PlayerRef is checked first. The player should no longer incorrectly use NPC voice files, including cases where a male player could play a female NPC voice.

No new game is required. Existing saves are supported, but the DDF quest must be restarted after updating:
