Is there any dll that does steamworks multiplayer network and works with the current gamemaker verison?
Basically what the title says. I know that there is YALs dll, but it doesn't work anymore with the newer versions of gamemaker. [1] [2]

Tips on Steamworks setup?
To add to that: When Yoyo releases the Steamworks extension and it is still missing some features (like networking, lobbies, matchmaking) then I recommend YellowAfterLife's Steamworks Extension and the accompanying example project.

Tips for making your 1st online multiplayer game
Choose your platform. I chose to use YellowAfterlife's Steamworks.gml wrapper. It locks me into the Steam platform and porting the game to another console or platform would require a ton of work. On the plus side, Steam handles a lot of the networking (inviting friends, creating lobbies, etc) for me, and it requires minimal effort from the player. You can, of course, choose a more universal approach that uses sockets and IP addresses, but that often requires the player making modifications to their router's firewall, trusting apps from unknown developers, exchanging IP addresses, etc. Steam uses UDP hole punching, so as long as you're playing with other Steam players, there's way less friction.

does anyone have a non-video tutorial for creating a dialog system?
JujuAdams/Chatterbox which PowerPlaidPlays mentioned in his comment may appear in your search results. friendlycosmonaut/Dialogue-System is at the top of my search results. I could see a few others - nothing wrong with more references, right? Just pick your favorite implementation, design pattern, or coding style.

Any advice on how to make a dialogue system?

Is gamemaker the right engine for a "visual novel" type game?
Here's a link to a better branching narrative solution: https://github.com/JujuAdams/chatterbox

What does this error mean?
Note: Found where the error might be. Although I disagree with how he is approaching branching dialogue systems, I understand you are still learning. When you feel more comfortable with GameMaker, I recommend checking out JuJu Adams free extension called Chatterbox

Best way to do branching dialogue?
I'd also recommend Chatterbox. First of all there are some really good editors for YARN Files out there (with visual representation of the dialog s, like this one) and it's easy to add functions to the yarn script (for example if you reach a certain point of a dialog you can change a flag or add an item to the inventory).

[HELP] Best way to code narration/dialogue in a dialogue-heavy game
I haven't used it personally, but Jujuadams made Chatterbox which should effectively do exactly what you're looking for.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing steamworks.gml and Chatterbox you can also consider the following projects:
Input - Comprehensive cross-platform input for GameMaker
