Hi, Justin! I've been following up the posts on this forum for about 3~4 months, and I still haven't been able to download the resources using the link provided on the second post . Is the website still down/down again? How should I proceed? I'm using Stencyl 3.4. Thanks!

The site must have gone down again. I've brought it back up. Dunno why I have so much trouble with this server. :\

Hi Justin,

When you said in the first thread you sholdn't get multiple layers i the .zip files, did youmean not to get lots of folders? Because that's what has happened to me. Do I just put all the files in, or just some of the? Also, the preview for your dialog extensions looks AMAZING thanks for creating it.
*EDIT* Also, with stencyl 4.0 which was recently released, do the extensions work?

You don’t need to worry about this with the latest release. Just follow the instructions on the site. Add the polydes.com repository in Stencyl and install from there.

Hello Justin. I really thought if I install the files and put them in the folders, I thought everything will be okay. I did try everything under the book to get the 3.4 extensions and then I get the dailogs of missing "style" format, plus the two extensions missing, even though I installed the blocks and made it clear as possible. I still don't know if I take in the resources or is it some sort of glitch? And I'm taking it off beta 3.4.0

Update: Actually I found the reason is that I didn't update the dialogue extension and now I did everything right and I didn't need to go a step ahead for the dialogue thing to work. Everything works now, and I find it great!

Hi Justin,
I’m having trouble with using the Dialougue pack. I downloaded it using the repository, and it downloaded fine. But as soon as a tried to use it, it said “ouch this should not have happened” it then let me use it without error. But then when a tried to insert the block of code into something, there was no section for the system (I looked under extensions). The code system worked fine before 4.0 came out. I appreciate all your work and thank you for it.

I'm dying to try 4.0 but I'm afraid about the Dialogue extension as I use it a lot.
Can you guys confirm it's working in 4.0?

It works. You need to update it through the extension repository.

Hello,

I just found the Dialog Extension did not work for me when updating. Could you please help me out in this case?

Edit: The game compiled successfully with the extension, but it crashes every time a "show dialog" block is executed. I'll have to go back to the previous version for now.

Hi,

I'm currently using Build 9300, and I followed the instructions Justin posted at the beginning of this thread. I have imported the sample game into Stencyl, however, I get the following messages when I open it in the Stencyl software:

Warning
Missing engine extension
The engine extension 'com.polydes.datastruct' does not exist. Do not save the game, if you have used blocks from the extension.

Warning
Missing engine extension
The engine extension 'com.polydes.dialog' does not exist. Do not save the game, if you have used blocks from the extension.

I assume these messages are referring either to the .jar files or the .zip folders. Both .jar files with those names are in the  workspace folder, and so are the .zip folders (both in extracted form as regular file folders, as well as the original .zips). I tried removing the .zips from the workspace folder and leaving the extracted folders, but I still get the same result.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Edit: Nevermind. I read this: https://github.com/justin-espedal/polydes/blob/master/Dialog%20Extension/guides/getting_started/guide.md and stuffed around for a bit and managed to get things working
