Convert Spreadsheet back to Easy Save file?

[doppelmonster]

I just have read the instructions for the new spreadsheet feature.

It sounds nice but it seems to be a one-way street (save to spreadsheet)

I would need to be able to alter my spreadsheet content in excel and convert it back into an easy save file.
Is something like this on the horizon?

Background:
I created a complete level system with easy save (one easy save file is a level-pack containing a string array where each entry is one level. Level information than is pipe and semicolon divided).
Now i can edit my levels in Unity but it would be great if i could load them into excel for level reordering and bulk changes....

Hi there,

If there's demand for it, we'd definitely be interested in adding functionality to convert back into an ES2Spreadsheet object (it'll be added eventually for completeness).

We'll also have a think about converters to convert existing Easy Save data to a spreadsheet, and vice versa, as this might be good for debugging at the very least. I'm working on a public Feature Request list at the moment which I'll put these on, so they'll be there when it does go public.

All the best,
Joel

Hi Joel,
thanks for the answer. Converters for Easy Save files would be so awesome!
for my purposes of EasySave it would be a HUGE enhancement, hopefully its not just me

Looking forward to make my vote.

Cheers,
Matthias

Maybe any news on adding an spreadsheet converter as well ?

Hi there,

There's a request in our Feature Requests forum, but so far it looks like I'm the only person who has voted for it.

I'll send out another message on our social networking just to ensure that people are aware of the forum.

All the best,
Joel

Hi Joel.
I wasnt aware of the request subforum either. Maybe you should add an announcement in the general discussion section....

No problem, I've added the request as a sticky in General Discussion. Hopefully that'll bring more traffic to the forum.

All the best,
Joel
