How to download the ink plugin?

Post by Frost Mage »

I am trying to follow this https://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_ ... l/ink.html tutorial, but I cannot for the life of me find out how to download the ink compatibility plug in. I am using Unity 2019.4, and I have no plugin tab. I cannot find it under "assets" either. I thought I downloaded ink compatibility with the initial install, but I have no "Dialogue System Ink Integration" script in my project files.

Hi,

TL;DR: Download from Extras.

Third party integrations such as the Ink plugin are in unitypackage files located in your project in Assets / Plugins / Pixel Crushers / Dialogue System / Third Party Support. Look for a file named "Ink Support.unitypackage". You can usually just double-click it in the Project view to import it. If that doesn't work, select Assets > Import Package > Custom Package.

However, integrations are occasionally updated between Dialogue System release versions. These updated integration packages are available on the Dialogue System Extras web page. As of this post, there is one for Ink. Go to the Extras page, expand the UPDATED INTEGRATION PACKAGES > Updated For 2.2.14 foldout, and click on the download button for DS_InkSupport_2020-12-12.unitypackage. Then import that package into your project.
