Give your characters the gift of life! The Yack Pack lets you add dynamic conversations between players and NPCs to your Torque games.
If you need a robust, streamlined dialog system, the Yack Pack is your solution. We've taken all the work out of building smooth, attractive, user-friendly dialog mechanics into your game so you can focus on what's important: the content. The Yack Pack includes dozens of features that will make your audience feel like they're really talking to your characters!
The Yack Pack is a platform for your creativity. Use the API to hook dialog into your inventory system and trade with game characters. Hook it into your stats system to buff the player based on their branch selections. Harness the power of TorqueScript to give your characters life-like speech with sound and animation. Best of all, the Yack Pack doesn't require you to learn any new languages like other dialog implementations!
The Yack Pack has been tested on Torque Game Engine 1.5 and Torque Game Engine Advanced 1.0 and 1.0.1.

Customer review from Ben Sparks (Warspawn), Feb 18, 2008 at 09:06 GMT 
"Great Product!
Even though it was not designed to work with ArcaneFX for TGEA, I was able to integrate it fairly easily. This is a complete conversation system with voiceover and animation capabilities, this will save you hours of work.
I'd recommend it, especially if you're doing an rpg."
