CSD Talk

CSD talk has become the bane of my existence over the past few weeks. It is a wonderful system, truly a work of genious, but it has many holes and flaws. to begin with, understanding its inner workings takes a bit of practice, the interface is confusing, and the documentation for it is sparse at best.

but the main flaw i have discovered, one that appears to be somewhat subjective, is that whenever i create an event that is activated by CSD talk it becomes impossible to accurately save the conversation features into a level, because of this i have had to include the CSDTalk.ini in a system folder to be installed directly into ut2004. this problem also means that the talk trees activated by CSD talk can only be accessed in build+Test mode.

While this is a limiting feature, i feel that it is still workable.

The talk trees have proven versatile, and while i have avoided using passkeys, i feel that the results i've gotten from the other features makes for an effective system.
