Pixi’VN + Json Integration

Pixi’VN can be integrated with JSON files to create a visual novel. This method is useful for:

  • Add a new narrative to Pixi’VN (It was used to create the integration with ink and Ren'Py)
  • Create a external tool to create visual novels with Pixi’VN

( In both these cases it is advisable to notify the developers of Pixi’VN to add the new feature to be helped )

Pixi’VN + Json Integration

How use Pixi’VN + Json?

First of all you need to install the following library:

bash
npm install @drincs/pixi-vn-json

All you need to do to use this integration is create a object using the PixiVNJson Model and use the importPixiVNJson() function to import the object.

typescript
import { PixiVNJson, importPixiVNJson} from '@drincs/pixi-vn-json';

let obj: PixiVNJson = {
    labels: {
        back_in_london: [
            {
                dialogue: "We arrived into London at 9.45pm exactly.",
            },
            {
                labelToOpen: {
                    label: "hurry_home",
                    type: "jump",
                },
            },
        ],
        hurry_home: [
            {
                dialogue: "We hurried home to Savile Row as fast as we could.",
            },
            {
                end: "label_end",
            },
        ]
    }
}

importPixiVNJson(obj);

After that you can run the back_in_london label with Pixi’VN functions.

typescript
import { narration } from '@drincs/pixi-vn'

narration.callLabel(`back_in_london`, {})
