Dialogue Editor doesn't open

[gsmuga]

I have Unity 2019.3.0b3 running with Dialogue System Version 2.2.2.

I've had the Dialogue System for a few weeks. All was well until five days ago when I began to experience this issue:

Going to edit my existing dialogue database, the dialogue editor window does not open.

When in play move, the system does go through my complete existing dialogue. But when I want to edit the dialogue database itself, I see only a single sentence in the Unity editor.

At about the same time, I began to see this message in the console (however, as I write this, I cannot reproduce this message):

The editor layout could not be fully loaded, this can happen when the layout contains EditorWindows not available in this project
UnityEditor.WindowLayout:LoadDefaultWindowPreferences()

I have reinstalled Version 2.2.2, but I see messages in the Editor section that refer to a 'different GUID'; subsequently after the reinstall, there is no change in behavior.

Hi,

If you import the Dialogue System into a new, empty project, does the Dialogue Editor window work correctly?

Back in your original project, from the Layout dropdown in the upper right select Revert Factory Settings.... This may fix whatever's happening in the Unity editor.

Are there any other errors or warnings in the Console window of your original project? (Make sure Info, Warning, and Error messages are enabled through the icons in the upper right of the window.)

Did you make any changes in your project near the time that the problem started? For example, did you import another asset, make changes to editor scripts, or change Unity versions?

Hi Tony,

Thanks for helping.

I did as you asked in your first response (loaded V2.2.2 into a clean new project && separately reverted my Unity screen settings) but there is no difference.

Then, I backed up my project and reloaded it using a new Unity version, 2019.3.09b. I deleted everything from the Plugins directory, and every other Dialogue System (DS) element, including the components in my player and two NPCs.

At this point, there is nothing DS visible at all in the project.

Then I reinstalled the Version 2.2.2 from the asset store.

Still no dice. in the Dialogue Manager game object, I can open the Dialogue System Wizard and configure a new DB (THAT menu window opens). When I want to edit the new DB, I'm left in the Unity Inspector.

Hi,

I just tested version 2.2.2 in Unity 2019.3.0b9 on Windows 10:

What operating system are you using?

Is it possible that the window is opening but is hidden behind another window?

Are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

Does the Dialogue Editor window open correctly if you import version 2.2.2 into a new, empty Unity 2019.2 project?

You are right!

I have a giant monitor. The window was docked to the extreme right--invisible to the eye, but not the mouse. When I moved my mouse over to the right margin, I saw the expand/contract mouse indicator. When I held my left mouse button down at that spot, I pulled the Dialogue Editor window back into the visible area.

Sorry for the trouble!

No worries! I'm glad we got to the bottom of it. Happy writing!
