I'm doing this game with articy and it imports flow fragments as "folders/chapters".

Is there a way to separate things like this ?

I'm planning to do stuff inside unity and then merging the databases with the articy ones, so I don't have a workflow to work with both at the same time.

Is there something like it, or is there a workflow to work more efficiently with both ?

Hi,

If you're using articy, I recommend writing all your dialogue database content in articy so it's all in one place.

That doesn't answer your question, though. I don't quite understand what you want to separate. Do you want to separate folders/chapters into separate dialogue databases?

I'm talking about how DS organizes flow fragments of articy inside of folders, so it's easier to navigate/choose dialogues.

I'm just thinking of doing a separate database with all the dialogue I write "on the run" inside unity, then merging it with the articy database, so I don't have to do the jump to articy and then reimport.

Also, by default DS doesn't link the imported dialogues with the start node, is there a way to configure it ?

For what you describe, merging sounds like the way to go. If you want to create folders/chapters in the Dialogue System's Dialogue Editor, just put a forward slash in the conversation's Title, such as "Chapter 1/Introduction".

The Dialogue System's articy Converter should link dialogues with the START node. Take a look at the example articy project in Examples/Feature Demo/Articy Feature Demo. It's in a zip file. The project as a whole is kind of outdated -- the project in Prefabs/Articy Template is a much better starter template -- but the Feature Demo project demonstrates how to set up a dialogue so the START node is linked properly. Note that version 1.5.8 introduced support for Jumps between dialogues.

Thank you didn't know that / did create those.

I've reimported the database, but yeah, all the conversations don't have the start link. They all have the "START[END]" node, and the conversation alone.

Any idea what can be causing this behaviour ?

I'm using DS 1.5.8, articy v2.5.4 and unity 1.3.1

It's not a big problem, but it wastes some time linking all the start nodes.

EDIT: I looked and I haven't been linking the dialogues inside Articy, now it's working as intended, sorry to bother.

No problem! Sounds like it's all working now. If any other questions come up, just let me know!
