Articy Converter throwing errors [SOLVED]

[PeterParked]

I'm starting a fresh project in Unity with Dialogue System. When I use the Articy:Draft converter, following the instructions here: http://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_s ... erter.html

I'm getting these errors:

Code: Select all

Couldn't create asset file!
UnityEditor.AssetDatabase:CreateAsset(Object, String)
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.Articy.ArticyConverterWindow:LoadOrCreateDatabase(String)
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.Articy.ArticyConverterWindow:ConvertArticyProject()
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.Articy.ArticyConverterWindow:DrawConvertButton()
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.Articy.ArticyConverterWindow:DrawConversionButtons()
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.Articy.ArticyConverterWindow:OnGUI()
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()

Code: Select all

UnityException: Creating asset at path  failed.

I've Googled the error a little bit, and pulled up this information that may or may not be related:

Did you know that CreateAsset must take a path relative to the project? And that it'll barf with the above abominable generic errors if you give it an absolute path?

Turns out the problem was that the directory listed in Step 6 here didn't yet exist:

http://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_s ... erter.html

For Save To, select the folder where you want the dialogue database to be created.

That folder has to exist already. Oh, user error, you make life interesting.

Sorry, oversight on my part. The next release will warn you beforehand if the folder doesn't exist.
