Line break import from articy

Post by mgregoirelds »

Hello Tony,

I have a dialogue entry I am importing from articy that contains an \n character to do a break line. When the actual dialogue entry is displayed on screen, I actually see a \n and not a break line. I even tested using <br> in articy, and I see <br> instead of a break line. However, if I go in the TMP UGUI text box in the editor when I see my sentence and I add a space randomly, it looks like TMP parses correctly the escape characters now. Is there something I forgot to setup to make it work?

My UGUI component has Rich Text and Parse Escape Characters checked. In fact, articy dialogue entries using <b> and <color> are working correctly, but not <br> or \n.

Hi Maxime,

I just messaged you a patch. I'll include it in the next full release, too.

Hello Tony,

I'm getting the same issue again, this time with data imported from I2 Loc. FYI, here is my loc workflow:
1) I import from articy in xml file.
2) I copy my data to I2 Loc.
3) I export to Google Sheet to add localization languages.
4) I import back into I2 Loc.
5) I export back into Dialogue System.

It seems like \n are displayed as \n and not as an actual line break. I did select the text in my TMP UGUI Text field and copy/paste it back and line break appeared instead of \n. My guess is that maybe the issue is with the parsing from I2 Loc back into Dialogue System. I am running 2.2.5.

Hi!

The Dialogue System Extras page has an updated i2 Localization integration package that automatically translates "\n" into newlines.
