Well, I've liked very much the way that cRPG has done the quick talk and I decided to make sth like it, I even got that part of the source from the cRPG team, but I decided I was too lazy to adjust it to my liking, so I made my own system using to python to read a list of strings and options, basically like this:
so, here is the code, add this, it's a very crude code to create the presentation we need.
hope I haven't forgot anything
edit: of course, I'd forgotten module_meshes
Code:
quick_talk = [
("@menu name", key, "snd_sound", "@Message"),
# or
("@menu name", key, expandable, [
#submenu options
]),so, here is the code, add this, it's a very crude code to create the presentation we need.
Well, you shouldn't exactly copy this, but use it as a template, since it's a copy of what is in my mod and i just made it for test as I wrote most of those strings while as spectator on a cRPG server clicking q many times 
.
you can add it to any file you like, I just created a file and named it as "module_quick_talk"
