SCI uses vocab resources for various things. The only one you can edit is the one that contains the words the SCI parser understands.
The words are listed in the view, along with their Group (not significant for editing) and Class (the type of word is it). Synonyms are grouped together on one line.
Adding a word
To add a word to the game's vocabulary, click the New word button, or right click in the view and choose New word
. Type in your new word and hit enter.
Deleting a word
Click on the word and press DELETE.
Looking up a word
There are two ways to find a word in the vocabulary editor. You can use the Find
button, or simply just type the letters of the word into the view. It will automatically scroll into view and be selected.
