Event Errors, Dialogue skips and premature ending

[CodySpie]

Hey Hacktics folks,

This is the event I've been having trouble with for about a week now, I chopped it down and simplified it, took out all of the battle conditions and it still has a wicked whacky starting Camera in the Intro. But that's beside the point.

My problem occurs when going through the conversation in the first contact meeting between Olan, Ramza and Alma where a section of the Dialogue is skipped, it resumes for one line 2 messages ahead of where it's supposed to be and then the event ends with several lines of text still waiting to be played. As Elric suggested I'm using a clean ISO, ATTACK.OUT and TEST.EVT file.

The Code below is the event I currently have running, Messages 06~07 and Messages 09~12 are being skipped.

I've been tinkering with it since I posted my first event thread and think it's time to formally ask to have my butt saved!

Take care, all.

The issue is that your lines are waaay to long. The dialogue box cannot support this, so it skips the dialogue,
Look at some vanilla dialogue short shorten and/or add {br} accordingly.

I believe the max is 49 characters, but I'm sure some vary in size so as a general rule try and keep each line less than or equal to 40.

That seems to have done the trick, thank you very much Elric!

I'm hoping to have this put together soon, battle and all! As soon as I learn how to create battles, still haven't gotten that far yet. Haha
