WoDiagram 2

WoDiagram allows creating diagram with custom key-value pairs in individual nodes, then you can export such a diagram as clean JSON file and import it into your engine.

Program allows you to design different aspects of the game.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Version 2 of WoDiagram is deprecated. Sill you can use it if you want, but i will not add new functionality to this version.

However, i actively working on version number 3.

Link to new version: https://fiveowlsgames.itch.io/wodiagram-3

Menu Options:

• Add Node - adds new node to diagram.
• Clone Node - clones selected node.
• Remove Node - removes selected node.
• Save - saves diagram into current opened file.
• Save As - saves diagram as new file.
• Load - loads diagram from file.
• Export - exports current diagram as clean file.
• Reset View - resets zoom and current position.
• More
  • Bulk Export - exports all files in folder.

Difference between saved file and exported file.

Saved file contains all data about diagram such as node positions, ex. node image ect.

Exported file contains only identifier of nodes, key-value data, information about connections between nodes, so it is clean.

Usage Example:

I started my adventure with GameDev by creating a visual novel, I used the program to design individual scenes along with dialogues. Each scene in the game was a separate diagram that contained.

1. information about the characters appearing in the scene. See Screen 1.

2. Information about the name of the background in the scene and the dialogues. See Screen 2.

Then I imported the exported file into the game engine. In my case, the import script mainly did 3 things.

1. It looked for the InitActors node and added the characters connected to that node to the scene.

2. It looked for the Location node and set the appropriate background for the scene.

3. It looked for the StartDialog node and, based on the following nodes, read the next lines of dialog.

Enjoy. I hope that the program will be useful.
