Hi, Mr. Li!

Okay, so I'm trying to make my game able to save and resume games mid-conversation, and found the "Gamesaver" demo from your "Free extras" library. While I had no trouble compiling and using the "Backtracker" demo I'd found earlier, I extracted and imported the Unity package and all of Gamesaver's scripts are apparently missing.

What did I/should I do now?

Thank you so much for your insight!

Hi,

That package was made in version 1.x. To update it, make a backup of your project, then select this menu item: Tools > Pixel Crushers > Dialogue System > Tools > Run 1x to 2x Updater. (But see below first!)

However, version 2.x has a Conversation State Saver component. If you add this to the Dialogue Manager, it will save games mid-conversation. You don't need the older GameSaver demo.

The debug log definitely shows me that saving and loading is happening. How do I update the dialogue window to show the loaded conversation?

When loading, it should automatically restart the conversation where it left off.

Please temporarily set the Dialogue Manager's Debug Level to Info. Then save a game mid-conversation, and load that game. Look for a message like this in the Console window:

Dialogue System: ConversationStateSaver is resuming conversation title with actor=actor and conversant=conversant at entry #.

Okay, I will do that as soon as I can get Unity to run the newest version of Dialogue Manager without sending up hundreds of "popping" errors and ultimately crashing. Maybe I just installed it wrong? I'll try again on a new project once the bug report finishes uploading,

Thanks again for you guidance! <3

Aaaannnd, success! This really is a sweet system you devised. Thanks again for your help!

Glad to help!
