Request for code: Dialog editor

[msteiger]

With the new Dialogs module players can talk to world NPCs such as minions and L&S entities. To make it easier for content creators, a dialog editor would be helpful imho.

It should provide an intuitive GUI for non-computer-experts to write funny/interesting/storytelling dialogs for different characters.

Technically, it could be a simple web/JavaFX/Swing/etc. standalone JSON editor that processes JSON files.

Anybody interested?

Maybe could be related to https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/issues/849 ? Although of a fairly smaller scope. Could put in a separate issue for it as an option for GSOC on its own. That time of the year is rolling around again soon.

I've started working on a tiny web-based editor:

https://github.com/MovingBlocks/DialogEditor

which is directly reflected at

http://terasology.org/DialogEditor

Admittedly, I don't really know much about JS hacking, so feedback is greatly appreciated.

Looks sweet! I clicked some links and stuff. But have no idea if anything happened?

Pinging @Josharias just because.

@msteiger - Any development news on this?

I had forgotten about this one. With @Rostyslav Zatserkovnyi finishing up the NUI editor for GSOC I could imagine one new idea growing out of that could be an in-game dialogue editor for working on new content? Although that's not standalone.

Same for me - no progress on this one, since I'm not web-guy. My target was to create a proof of concept and work on the ingame dialog implementation.
I think that it would be valuable to have a web-based editor to create/edit these dialogs though.
