Error on game start after just installing the addon: DialogicGameHandler.gd: Node not found: "Inputs" and "Portraits" (relative to "/root/Dialogic") about dialogic

Thanks! This has been reported on discord recently too, I'll try to push a fix. We should call these in post_install() instead of ready, which works like the second option you suggested.

Yes, I just found post_install in the meantime and moved both collect methods there:

collect_text_effects()
collect_text_modifiers()

The second one, collect_text_modifiers(), may not trigger a bug right now, but it may later if we add a node-based modifier, so this looks safer and more consistent.

Result:

func post_install():
	dialogic.Settings.connect_to_change('text_speed', _update_user_speed)
	collect_text_effects()
	collect_text_modifiers()

func _ready():
	collect_character_names()
	dialogic.event_handled.connect(hide_next_indicators)

So it works with this workaround, and should make an easy PR! (but you can also check all occurrences of get_node in _ready methods too, if there are any)

I'm not on the Discord but I'll be notified if you update this issue.
