❓ Possible Questions

"Can I import existing dialogs?"

YES! Paste your dialog code (even full config files) → Select target class → Start editing immediately.

"Why does text look different in-game?"

Editor uses similar, but not exactly the same fonts for text rendering. Arma doesn't use regular font types

"My dialog fails to import!"

This app uses custom C++ parser, specifically crafted for dialogs config. If you are sure your dialog works fine in-game, then report dialog code

"Game crashes with exported dialog!"

Report dialog code

"Does this work for other Arma games?"

Technically it should for config structure, but visual rendering may differ. This web editor can also be tuned to support other games
