Hello,
I'm currently writing all my dialogues within articy:draft 3 as a document form (as shown in this post viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1132&p=6043&hilit=articy#p6043)

I found a weird problem that may lie within the Dialogue System xml parser.

When I export my articy:draft dialogues as a xml file, all my conversations are properly imported within Dialogue System (as expected). However, when I create a global variable set with a variable within, all dialogues are exposed in the Conversations tab, but all of them are shown as Start -> End. I am posting two screenshots I took. Both are the same data imported in Dialogue System, with the difference that the problematic one as an extra Global Variables data defined in articy:draft.

Working: Problem: Any chance to have this fixed in a future release? The repro steps are really easy to do.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm going to try to reproduce this today. Have you noticed the same thing if your dialogue is not written as a document?

I plan for version 1.7.7 to be released with fixes for this issue and all the requests in Racoon7's post that you linked above. I'm working to get 1.7.7 done as soon as possible.

I haven't tested with a dialogue written in Flow. I will test out and come back to you with my results.

Thanks. I haven't worked much with documents in articy yet. I wasn't even aware that anyone really used them over Flow until Racoon7 brought it to my attention. Support for documents is something that's going to be beefed up in version 1.7.7.

For your information, it is working fine when I drag my dialogue into a Flow. The problem seems to be with Document only.

In my case, all linear conversation that doesn't require condition and branching are written in Documents as I think it is easier to write that way instead of doing it in Flow. I don't even drag them into Flow when I export. However, conditional dialogues are done in Flow.

Thanks a lot for the great work on Dialogue System!

Thanks! And thank you for checking that with documents. I'll make sure this is resolved in 1.7.7 when documents are fully supported by the articy converter.

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that the problem is still there in version 1.7.7. I tested this morning by adding a single variable in Global Variables and exporting... All my conversations are now empty Start -> End.

Would it be possible for you to email me an XML file that produces the problem when importing into the Dialogue System? I'm not sure how to reproduce this. You can send it to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com. Thanks!
