Forward slashes to organize conversations in sub menus not working

[OddMan2]

As the title says, i have a database in wich the slashes stopped working.
all the titles are displayed in a list, as if the slashes were not present.
It doesn't happen with other databases. What could be causing this problem?
Thank you in advance

Hi,

Are the slashes shown as part of the title in the dropdown list?

Are you using Mac or Windows?

Still using Unity 2020.3.48? If so, then as a test can you make a new test project in Unity 2021 or 2022, import the Dialogue System, and copy your database over to the new project? Then see if the issue is there, too. A couple of Unity 2020 versions broke submenu functionality. Unity 2020 has had a lot of regression bugs. (A regression bug is when a bug has been fixed but then is accidentally reintroduced in a later version.) This might be one of them.

Thank you for your response

Yes, like this: Characters/Village/myCharacter

Are you using Mac or Windows?

I am using Windows 11

as a test can you make a new test project in Unity 2021 or 2022[...]

Yes i am still on unity 2020.2.48f1
I made a copy of my project and upgraded it to 2021, but the problem persists.
If i create a new database from scratch, it works, both in 2020 and 2021.
I upgraded DS multiple times during the development, could it be that my database does not work because it was create in a previous version of DS (some 2020 version)?

Let me know if you need additional info

Hi,

Updating shouldn't have any effect. Maybe something else changed the forward slashes to a different Unicode character that looks like a forward slash.

Can you send a copy of your dialogue database to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com?

Thank you but i found the source of the problem, this asset: Ultimate Editor Enhancer (version 3.6.2)
i tried to import my database in a clean project and it worked, so i tried to remove my additional plugins until i found the culprit and the conversation menus appeared.

i will try to upgrade the plugin to see if the conflict gets solved

Thank you anyway for your support!

Hi,

Yes, they fixed that in 3.9 after another Dialogue System reported the issue. Updating Ultimate Editor Enhanced should resolve the issue.

Ok i will upgrade as soon as possible.
in the meantime, i found a workaround:
the problem goes away by unticking "unsafe features" in the UEE project setting.


Thank you for your support as always
