Cannot change styles

[tahu157]

The problem

Describe the bug
Dialogic will not load custom styles, either through the 'Change Style' event or through the 'Test Style' button in the style editor. Dialogic always defaults to the standard visual novel style.

To Reproduce

• Create a new style in Dialogic's style editor
• Edit style so that it is visually distinct from any default style
• Attempt to preview this new style with the 'Test Style' button OR
• Use the 'Change Style' event in a Dialogic timeline with this new style selected

Expected behavior
Dialogic should display a timeline with the newly created style.

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Godot Version: 4.4.1, both direct download and Steam versions
• Dialogic Version: 2.0-Alpha.17 WIP - Downloaded on 04/15/2025 from Github

Solutions

Workaround
Dialogic does not appear to be locating the style resource file correctly. In the text editor for a timeline, manually supplying the full path of the style resource will cause the new style to load correctly.

E.g this does NOT work:

[style name="New_File"]

but this DOES work:

[style name="res://styles/New_File.tres"]

Just want to echo I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm happy to look into fixing this if the devs want a hand.
