Ink integration - conversation stops in Dialogue System, runs in Ink

[NotVeryProfessional]

Here's a simple test case which runs in Inkle as well as the unity-ink-integration demo scene and the Ink Player, but when I run it in Dialogue Manager (the third party integration example scene) it stops in the middle.

To replicate, choose "talk to innkeeper". He will speak his first line, then the conversation ends. The console log just says "Dialogue System: Ending conversation."

When running the same file in the Ink-Demos-Basic Demo scene, it works as expected, so the issue seems to be somewhere in Dialogue System.

Code: Select all

VAR coins=50

-> inn

= inn
# location: Azmar_Inn
Narrator: The local inn is a small house with an even smaller bar. There are three tables and a tiny kitchen tucked away behind the counter. The place is almost deserted now, it is probably frequented mostly by the locals, who are in the fields at this time.
A man in fancy clothes sits at the table near the door.
* [talk to the innkeeper]
    -> Innkeeper
* [talk to the stranger]
    -> Duvas
* [leave]
    -> END

= Innkeeper
Innkeeper: "{Another visitor. It must be my lucky day. What can I do for you?|Anything else?}
* "I'm looking for a stranger from town, have you seen anyone not a local?"
    Right behind you, sitting at the table over there.
    -> Innkeeper
+ "What do you serve here?"
    Innkeeper: We have a nice house ale, 3 coppers a mug, or mead from Casuvo for 4 coppers. You can also have a nice wine from the south, that'd be 6 coppers for a glas or 35 for a bottle.
    + + "nothings, thanks."
        -> Innkeeper
    + + { coins >= 3 } "I'll take the house ale."
        ~ coins -= 3
    + + { coins >= 4 } "Give me some of the Casuvian mead, please."
        ~ coins -= 4
    + + { coins >= 6 } "A glas of wine sounds about right."
        ~ coins -= 6
    + + (bottle) { coins >= 35 } "I'd like a bottle of wine, please."
        ~ coins -= 35
    - - Innkeeper: "Certainly, here you are. Anything else?"
        -> Innkeeper
* [step away from the counter]
    -> inn
* [leave the inn]
    -> END


= Duvas
Narrator: The stranger looks at me as I approach the table, but does not say anything.
* "Hello."
    Narrator: The stranger looks up, gives you the slightest hint of a nod, but says nothing.
    * * [sit down]
    -> END
* {Innkeeper.bottle} "Care for a drink? (put the bottle on the table)"
    Duvas: "Someone with manners, I see. Sit down, friend. What brings you here?"
    * * "Player: Are you Duvas Elad?"
    * * "I am looking for someone."
    - - -> END
-> END

Fun fact: If I add a line after

Code: Select all

Innkeeper: "{Another visitor. It must be my lucky day. What can I do for you?|Anything else?}

(between that and the choices) - any line except a blank one - it works.

Hi,

I pasted that Ink file into a test scene, and it seems to play correctly. Let's make sure you have up-to-date integration files:

DS_InkSupport_2021-05-19.unitypackage

(It may not import anything new; you may already be up to date.)

Here's the test scene I used:

DS_TomInk_2021-05-19.unitypackage

[NotVeryProfessional]

I did not have the up-to-date integration files, it appears. I took the ones in the Dialogue System package, and it did import and overwrite some files with that package. It seems the issue is fixed now.

[Tony Li]

Great! Thanks for letting me know.

[NotVeryProfessional]

Sorry, but I have to revive this. Apparently, I'm a master at breaking the Ink integration.

Here is another file that breaks, tested in the demo scene you sent.

pick "talk to villagers" as the first option. In Inkle and the Unity Ink player, next choice is a list of names. In Dialogue System, it repeats choices 1, 2 and 4, but replaces 3 (which happens to be the "talk to villagers" one) with a name.


I made sure I'm using the recent versions of Dialogue System, Unity Ink and DS-Ink-Integration

Fun fact: If I uncheck "Player Dialogue Text Follows Response Text", then it works (but repeats all choices)

Code: Select all

// FIXME: should be linked to a variable
VAR coins = 500


Narrator: On the second day of travel, you reach the hamlet of Azmar. You are counting from that fateful night now, the one that smashed life as you knew it into pieces. Second day. Time is running and against you, but it cannot be helped, for it is here that you have been told to meet with one named Duvas Elad, who may be able to help you. And him.

= look_day
The main attraction of this small hamlet is the pigs and chickens grazing right in the village centre. A tiny stream runs through the forest nearby, eventually turning east and flowing into the Monto river. A few fields and fruit trees feed the villagers. A small tavern that also sells some household items from time to time (whenever its owner was in the nearby town of Casuvo for supplies) is the only infrastructure the place has. Travellers generally pass it by.

Derian: "Well met, stranger. What brings you to Azmar?"
* "I am supposed to meet someone here. Also a stranger to you, from town. Dressed in fancy clothes, I have been told, goes by the name of Duvas Elad."
    Derian: "Hm, I don't know. Haven't seen any other strangers, sorry."
    * * "If you had to guess, where would you advise I look?"
        Derian: "The inn, possibly, right over there."

Sarah: "Hello, traveller."

I'll check this out and work up a fix ASAP.

[Tony Li]

Alright, finally fixed both of those issues (this one and the Always Force Response Menu issue). Please try this updated package, which is the candidate for release in 2.2.17 now:

DS_InkSupport_2021-05-21.unitypackage

[NotVeryProfessional]

From what I see, everything works now. Brilliant!

[Tony Li]

Great! Thanks for letting me know.
