Error: failed to set spine skin for gui node

I’m following the 2D Platformer Creation Kit. I have added my first dialogue, but I get this error (some debug lines also included before the error):

I’ve never used the Platform Creation Kit extension. Have you reached out to any of the devs of the extension?

I made a comment on their tutorial page, but I have not received a response. Their website seems to be under construction the last time I checked.

Regarding the problem where they tell the reader to have the “hero” texture I did not follow that direction and left the speech_content.lua intact and now it works again. Maybe there is no “hero” texture that could be used?
