Hi, Tony!
Thanks for the example file last day!
i am doing great with your support and your excellent assets!

and now i am writing a dialogue script for each person.
but making a link each of each is somewhat spending much times so i want to wirte on Excel file and to import to dialogue manager.
Then, how can i import Xml (excel) or Json file? Do i have to use articy draft converter? I watched almost all of your video tutorial but still i am not sure what to do for importing Xml(excel)file.

I am not sure how to set a Excel file (what should be in the Excel file or arrangement.) to fit for dialogue manager when imported.

Is there anything that i can refer to? like documetation or tutorials. if you let me know the name, i will search it. sorry for bothering!

Hi!

If you don't want to use the built-in editor, you can use:

• Chat Mapper XML (import instructions)
• articy:draft XML (import instructions)
• Aurora Toolset (Neverwinter Nights) XML (import instructions)
• TalkIt (import instructions)
• Or Excel/Google Sheets CSV (import instructions) Note that you must export to CSV format.

Dialogue data is complicated, so it's difficult to represent in Excel. If you decide to use Excel, follow the instructions on the link above carefully.

You can also switch the built-in editor to Outline mode if prefer that.

Thanks for kind reply!
I will look carefully all of the link you informed of.

and you said it is tricky to import excel file,then what about Json or Memopad xml file?
well, i don't feel uncomfortable of dialogue edior. i just already have a text file which i wrote to the end(only conversation is in it like novel.)
For saving time, i want to import it and edit on dialogue editor. hehe.
if everything is same of difficultiness(?), i will select one of the link you informed. Thank you Tony.
Have a nice weekendd!!!

Hi,

Conversations are much more complicated than simple text files. They have to include information about links, conditions, sequences, which actor is speaking, etc.

CSV format is probably the least difficult. The other formats are intended to be used with programs like Chat Mapper and articy:draft.

If you're handy with programming, you can also write your own script to read your text file and create a dialogue database asset.
