Custom pinned conversations

Allow content patch mods to create custom versions of ExtraDialogue and some StringsFromCSFiles strings

Custom Fixed Dialogue

🎮 **Make NPC conversations more personalized! **

✨ Mod origin

After downloading the Mister Ginger mod, I discovered that the game forces all adult NPCs to use the same trashcan digging dialogue because this part is hard-coded. This mod was created to solve this problem!

---

🎯 Core Functions

**Removes hard-coded restrictions**, allowing you to create exclusive versions of dialogue for specific NPCs. When an NPC speaks, the game will display a customized version of the text you set in the content pack, rather than the generic default text.

📝 How to use

To create a content patch for use with this mod, you need to know the key (tag) for the string you want to modify.

**Key value prefix rules:**

• String key values ​​from **Characters.json**: add **"Characters_"** prefix
• String keys from **ExtraDialogue.json**: add **"ExtraDialogue_"** prefix
• String keys from **Strings\StringsFromCSFiles.json**: use the exact keys directly from the file

🔧 Configuration example

Use Content Patcher to create custom versions of specific NPCs, just like you would with normal dialogue strings:

```json

{

"Changes": [

{

"Action": "EditData",

"Target": "Characters/Dialogue/MisterGinger",

"Entries": {

"ExtraDialogue_Town_DumpsterDiveComment_Adult": "Mr. Ginger thinks you should stop rooting around in HIS trash bins.$s"

}

}

]

}

```

⚠️ Notes

• If text is used for an NPC without a custom version, automatically falls back to using the default universal string
• The mod expects these strings to be used only for NPC dialogue, so will replace the text with identifier tags
• If you use strings outside of character dialogue, you may accidentally see labels instead of text
