  • Great to see CSV support, I posted it as an idea back in the 2022 board.

    In my suggestion I ask for TSV support too, any chance you can add TSV file support just for the builtin text editor, so I can open and edit my files in the engine? (no need for plugin support).

      Is TSV basically exactly the same as CSV but with a tab instead of comma as the delimiter? If so it may be easy add support by having a parameter for the delimiter character. Adding .tsv file support shouldn't be too bad either.

      • More or less so.

        I think the biggest difference is when using commas within the text strings, in CSV the block is exported with quotation marks so it won't break the parsing and in TSV it exported it as is.

      • Great idea ASHLEY. It would be very helpful to have a parameter for the delimiter. I use arrays to store NPC conversations and I built a CSV importer to load them in at runtime, but I'm constantly having issues with commas in the text. And easy-to-change parameter would fix that.
