Finally purchased it!
Now it’s time to test it and play with it deeply

Great to hear!

This might be far too impractical, but is there any chance of seeing XML support, or at the very least support for the .xls that articy:draft produces? This looks like an amazing product, but the project I’m working on has an enormous amount of dialog, and the big thing preventing me from purchasing is the fact that manually assembling our dialogue trees in excel would quickly drive everybody nuts.

Hi HInoue,

There are currently no plans to add direct XML support, because this would not be possible without plugins (as far as I know).
I have looked into the xlsx generated from artisy but it’s not human readable so it would need a plugin also to work directly with the dialogue.

My best guess solution would be to create an external converter that would take the exported XML from artisy and convert it to CSV. While this is feasible, we just don’t have the resources to do it at this time. This is, however, something your team could venture to do as a solution, being an external converter to a simple CSV format (if you choose this route, I will gladly be of assistance).

As an additional possibility you could have the content read from whatever format you choose in C++ and override the base getter functions in BPC_Dialogue to retrieve the content from your chosen format instead of the data tables, this would be a nicer workflow once it is working.
