Unable to parse Datas as JSON

[Meirerion]

I recently wrote some dialogues for the "parallel dimensions" (topic in ideas'n'suggestions). I copied it (I always care not to make any mistakes (not copying [ ] { }) and today I tried to import it but... "unable to parse Datas as JSOn".
I spent half an hour trying to find the mistake but I couldn't find it.

If anyone sees it, it would be great.

Code: Select all

EDIT:

Oh and btw, if you see a mistake, report it

Stupid question, do you have to escape the single quotes?

"Well.. I had some problems with the city
watch...\nLet's forget about that. I'm still an elementalist even if
they call me \"Madman\"."

Hi Meirerion,

seems like an interesting questline. Looking forward to reading more of it!

About the error when loading this into the content editor, it seems like something has split all your long conversation lines into several lines.
For example:

Code: Select all

"message": "And I tell you not to trust them, now are you
listening or are you wasting my time?"

The fact that there's a new line inside the double quotes is what's making the content editor barf when importing it. The correct way would be to have it as just one long line:

Code: Select all

"message": "And I tell you not to trust them, now are you listening or are you wasting my time?"

You are of course welcome to break phrases over several lines when entering the phrase text itself into the editor. If you really want a new line in the phrase message, it would be encoded as "\n" in the json export, but that should all be handled automatically by the content editor.

Hope that clears things up!

Thank you very much Oskar , I'll check this afternoon if it works now.
