Arcweave integration - cannot find root board

Post by Dabsco »

Hello Tony!

Our team is testing Arcweave and we were glad to see that it can integrate into your dialogue system.

Currently, we are getting an error at step 4 here (https://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_ ... weave.html) when trying to load JSON.

The console logs
"Dialogue System: Can't find root board in Arcweave Project.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object)
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.ArcweaveSupport.ArcweaveImporterWindow:RecordBoardHierarchy () (at Assets/Plugins/Pixel Crushers/Dialogue System/Scripts/Editor/Tools/Importers/Arcweave/ArcweaveImporterWindow.cs:402)
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.ArcweaveSupport.ArcweaveImporterWindow:LoadJson () (at Assets/Plugins/Pixel Crushers/Dialogue System/Scripts/Editor/Tools/Importers/Arcweave/ArcweaveImporterWindow.cs:376)
PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.ArcweaveSupport.ArcweaveImporterWindow:DrawLoadJsonButton () (at Assets/Plugins/Pixel Crushers/Dialogue"

We have exported everything in arcweave, and unzipped into a folder inside the project.

Any idea what is going on?

Hi,

Make sure your conversations are inside a Board (as in the "Dialogues" board below) and start with a Dialogue that then has dialogue elements inside it:

This is how the Dialogue System knows where to start the conversation.

Hey Tony, apologies for the delay in replying here!

Thank you, I already had the dialogue in the board as shown, but moved it to the top and made it DemoDialogue instead of Demo Dialogue and it seems to have found it. Unsure what it was that worked... but the import is working!

However the dialogue flow is not importing correctly.

This is what the conversation looks like in Arcweave.

This is what it looks like in Unity.

And this is what the import setting look like.


Thanks again for your help!!

Since the link arrows overlap in the Dialogue Editor, it's a little difficult to tell where the links go.

It looks like <START> leads to "Cool, you're hired..."

Are you sure you've selected the correct starting node in the Arcweave Importer window's dropdown for Casey / Opening Cutscene?

BTW, the red color of the "Oh no..." node means it's an "orphan" (nothing links to it), when in fact the <START> node should link to it.
