Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Guys, I have this problem, which I can't seem to isolate: EDIT : I FOUND THE PROBLEM AFTER ALL, BY PURE LUCK, WHEN I STARTED TO RE-WRITE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 For the last time, it's spelled Rentar-Ihrno. I-H-R-N-O, not I-H-N-R-O. Anyway, your first problem is that there's no begintalkscript; and variables; lines at the start of the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Sorry, I must have missed out the first couple of lines when posting the script. No, that's not the problem. (unfortunately) EDIT: I've changed her name to your spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Also, Using _ for quotes Does Not Work in the question part of dialogue. It just shows up as _, rather than as ". And as a general rule of thumb, whenever a dialogue response involves action, surround the words in parentheses. For instance, the question would be (Ask her about the tower).

Cresent Valley has this mistake, too, and it's kind of stupid-looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 (Hence the "question part of the dialogue" bit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Dallerdin with a custom moniker. Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Maybe this is a mac/win problem. We don't know if Slacks uses windows, but I know Kel and TM don't, and I'm not sure about Archmagi Micael. I don't see the underscores when I play CV, and I use windows.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 If nothing else, I go by the fact that Jeff never uses quotes in his questions in the pre-packaged scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe it is a win/mac thing, but I can sort it out another time if it is so. I'm just adding in one last surprise to prevent people from reaching the Hidden City too quickly, and then I'll be sending the emails to my testers. - Archmagi Micael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
