'''Speech files''' are text files that define sentences which can be spoken by people in [[adventure mode]]. They are found in the <code>data/speech</code> folder.

'''Speech files''', also known as '''text sets''', are text files that define sentences which can be spoken by people in [[adventure mode]] and phrases used to name [[books]]. Most of them are found in the <code>data/vanilla/vanilla_text/objects</code> folder, though the creature specific files can be found in <code>data/vanilla/vanilla_creatures/objects</code>. Like other raw files, mods can replace or introduce new sentences.

=== Dialogue tokens ===
 
−
 
−
Character dialogue uses its own set of tokens to reference data.
 
−
Scopes identify participants in a conversation and various forms of background information. They can be nested within each other in various cases. If the scopes refer to a historical object, it is expected [verify] that not using the TRANS_NAME argument will display the untranslated name.
 
−
Strings are the arguments for scopes, outputting a specific word based on the conversation data. In certain files, they are used by themselves with an implied scope.
