StoryScript
by lasticks
StoryScript lets a player write storylines as script files that run in the game, with commands for NPCs, camera control and maps.
What it does
A storyline is written as a text file placed in the SScripts/ folder. Each file is an sscript file containing commands, and once the file is written, a player runs the script with the ss command. The mod covers the scripting itself, so the story is built from the commands the author places in the file rather than from a graphical editor.
The full list of commands is documented on the project wiki, which is the place to check syntax before writing a script. Creators can use the commands to build their own story maps, place NPCs and direct the camera. The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it on their side.
Builds exist for Fabric and Forge across 1.19.3, 1.20.4 and 1.21.1. The latest Fabric file is 0.2.1+1.21.1 for 1.21.1, and the latest Forge file is 1.4.3-ALPHA for 1.19.3. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Scripted storylines
Storylines are written as script files instead of being assembled in a menu, which lets the author control the sequence of events.
Script files in SScripts
Each script is a file placed in the SScripts/ folder and launched with the ss command after it is written.
Command set
The script language offers a set of commands, documented on the wiki, for controlling the story's events and actions.
NPCs and camera control
Scripts can place NPCs and move the camera, so a storyline can show characters and scenes from chosen viewpoints.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Custom story maps
Map makers can use the commands to build their own narrative maps with characters and scripted scenes.
Scripted events on servers
A server owner can run a script for players on the server, since the server is the side that runs the mod.
Who it’s for: The mod suits map makers and server owners who want to write storylines by hand. Players who only join a server need not install it, because the client side is optional.
