How to use

  1. Create a folder for easy access to the .lua speech files. The files are in the scripts folder which should be located in the ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\data\databundles\.

    Location of the speech files

    • Either simply unzip the scripts folder and optionally copy all files called speech_[character].lua to a new folder.

    • Or browse the zipped scripts folder and copy all files called speech_[character].lua to a new folder.

    Selecting the files before copying
    New folder with all files copied

    If you copied the speech files to a new folder or unzipped the scripts folder, you must do that again when a update for DST has released, otherwise the speech files might be outdated!

  2. Click the browse button and select all .lua speech files.

  3. Enter a quote identifier and click the search button. Then you can click the clipboard button ( ) to copy the quotes template and insert it in the wiki's source editor.

    The quote identifier is the name of all the variables required to find a quote, separated by a dot. In the example below, if you wanted to get the quotes for examining/describing the multiplayer portal, you'd have to enter describe.multiplayer_portal. 

    DESCRIBE =
{
    MULTIPLAYER_PORTAL = "Too bad it can't get us home.",
    MULTIPLAYER_PORTAL_MOONROCK = "This one looks way fancier... but still can't get us home.",
    MOONROCKIDOL = "Usually these kind of things are locked in an ancient temple guarded by a monster.",
    CONSTRUCTION_PLANS = "I'm good at following instructions! I have a badge for it!",

    ANTLION =
    {
        GENERIC = "Hi!",
        VERYHAPPY = "We're becoming pals already.",
        UNHAPPY = "It's hard to read her expression...",
    },
...

    You can also enter e.g. describe.antlion to get a template that includes all quotes for it, separated by a tabber. Then you should also check the default tab names and maybe change them and their order.

  4. Optionally edit the choose parameter or add a source parameter, as described in the quotes template.

Special cases

If you want to get the quotes for singleplayer DS or for modded characters, just select a valid speech_[character].lua file and it will use [character] as the parameter in the quotes template for that character. This might not be the correct parameter name.
