Dialogue System saver saving quest entry text

Post by Strook »

Hello!

I realized recently that the save file generated by DS had all of the text from the quest entries (in all languages!).
Which mean that it's until I cleared my save, I was not seeing changes in my quest log (This was driving me crazy :lol: )

Is there a way to choose what the saver saves? Ideally I only want the Variable to be saved, because if we need to update the quest entries texts (fixing a typo, etc), we ideally don't want to touch the save for this


Thanks!

Hi,

Inspect the Dialogue Manager GameObject. UNtick Persistent Data Settings > Include All Item & Quest Data. This way it will only save quest states but not all of the text.

Thanks! It looks like it was already unticked, but I'll do some test to make sure it's behaving correctly with a fresh save!

Im using 2.2.25.1 !

Hi! I checked and even with the option unticked, every quest entry and its differents translations are in the save data!

here is the manager:

and here is the block of the save file, containing all the quest fields!

It's a bug. I just improved test coverage so it won't happen again. This patch will fix it: (will also be in version 2.2.31)
