Import from Articy X

Post by frednorm2000 »

Hi

I just updated to articy X and I noticed that the xml import tool is not working anymore. Any plan to update this tool ?

Hi,

The Dialogue System Extras has a patch (direct download) that updates the importer to also support Articy X. If you notice any issues, please let me know. This will also be released in DS version 2.2.43. Import support for the voiceover addon is being updated.

Should this fix work with the eval version? My import seems to work except no conversations make it over. They're in the export.

Hi,

Are you using eval version 2.2.44? I just tested it with articy X's Maniac Manfred X project, and it imports fine:

When you try to import your articy X project, are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

Hmm. The Maniac Manfred X project imports correctly for me also.
I don't have any errors and the only warnings are because it can't find image assets. Seems like our articy project is the problem, but we're able to play thru it in articy.

Hi,

Would it be possible for you to send an XML export of your articy X project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com?

Hi,

Thanks sending along the XML file. Tick the "Conv. Loose Flow Frags" checkbox, which imports flow fragments that aren't nested inside conversations:

The Dialogue System has been importing articy since articy 1.x. Over the years we've added lots of options by user request. It makes the importer very flexible to different needs, but it does require some setup of these checkboxes and dropdowns to set it up exactly the way you want. In the case of this XML file, there are dialogues (conversations) inside flow fragments, so you'll want to keep this checkbox ticked.
