Dialogue Database is not updating as I create new conversations

[fightmemichelle]

When I try to start a new conversation with the Dialogue System Trigger or with Start Conversation in the Timeline, I am unable to see any of the newer Conversations I made in the drop down selection. I tried grouping them to shrink down the room they take up, but I still cannot find them. The groups are also not updating in the Dialogue System Trigger and Start Conversation drop down selections. I'm not sure if I've maybe saved the conversations into the wrong file or something else, but I don't think I made any changes like that.

Hi,

Try closing and reopening Unity. Then make some changes to the database and make sure they're being saved.

What version of Unity are you using?

And what version of the Dialogue System?

[fightmemichelle]

I'm using the most recent update of Unity 2019.2.17f1 and the Dialogue Manager 2.2.4. I also tried to close and reopen it, but am still not seeing the newer conversations.

I could send you some screenshots of what I am seeing if it would be helpful?

Also, a ton of errors suddenly appeared in the console saying:
"NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.CustomFieldType_Actor.Draw (System.String currentValue, PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.DialogueDatabase dataBase)"
Which was kind of startling because I didn't have this error before.

Hi,

Are there any other errors?

Have you imported any other assets recently that may be causing compiler errors or conflicts?

Please feel free to send a copy of your project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com. I'll be happy to take a look.

I suspect that some external factor is conflicting with the Dialogue System. But, whatever it is, this is a very high priority for me. I don't like the idea that it wouldn't be saving your work, whatever the reason. I check these forums several times a day, but please feel free to email me at tony (at) pixelcrushers.com or message me on discord at https://discord.gg/FwUaCNt if you'd like to send me information sooner.

I have imported assets I modeled myself in Cinema4D, so I'm not sure if this is the cause. I also sent you an email!

[Tony Li]

Thanks for sending you project. I just downloaded it. I'll reply back to your email by this evening with an answer.

Just recording the resolution here for future reference. We resolved this through email. The Dialogue Editor was accidentally on the auto-backup copy of the database.
