I'm going nuts trying to catch my mistake, here. I tried to script all the dialogue for one character in one fell swoop, and now I can't figure out where the error is. BoA gives me error message "Invalid character in" what, upon checking, is the very last line. (That reminds me, can anybody tell me how BoA numbers the lines in the text? The lines seem to be very high numbers, compared to the total document length) I 've gone over the whole thing, looking for parts where I maybe punched the wrong key, to no avail. Here's an abbreviated version of my code:

begintalknode 22;
state = -1;
personality = 10;
nextstate = 7;
question = "Ssev";
text1 = "Text.";
text2 = "_Character talking._";
text5 = "Text.";
action = INTRO;

begintalknode 23;
state = 7;
personality = 10;
nextstate = -1;
condition = get_flag(0,3) == 0;
question = "Text.";

begintalknode 24;
state = 7;
personality = 10;
nextstate = -1;
condition = get_flag(0,3) > 0;
question = "Question?";
text1 = "_Dialogue._";
text2 = "More dialogue!";
text3 = "_Yet more dialogue._";

begintalknode 25;
state = 7;
personality = 10;
nextstate = 8;
condition = get_flag(0,3) > 0;
question = "Question?";
text1 = "_Dialogue._";
text2 = "_More dialogue._";

begintalknode 26;
state = 8;
personality = 10;
nextstate = -1;
question = "Question?";
` text1 = "_Dialogue._";
text2 = "_La-dee-da_...";
text3 = "More dialogue.";

begintalknode 27;
state = 8;
personality = 10;
nextstate = -1;
question = "Question?";
text1 = "Dialogue.";

begintalknode 28;
state = 7;
personality = 10;
nextstate = 9;
condition = get_flag(0,3) > 0;
question = "Question?";
text1 = "_Dialogue._";

begintalknode 29;
state = 9;
personality = 10;
nextstate = 10;
question = "Question?";
text1 = "Dialogue.";

begintalknode 30;
state = 10;
personality = 10;
nextstate = -1;
question = "Question?";
text1 = "_Dialogue._";
text2 = "_Dialogue._";

begintalknode 31;
state = 10;
personality = 10;
nextstate = -1;
question = "Question?";
text1 = "_Dialogue._";
text2 = "_More Dialogue._";
text3 = "_Dialogue again._";

begintalknode 32;
state = 10;
personality = 10;
nextstate = -1;
question = "Question?";
text1 = "_Dialogue._";

In abbrieviating this for posting, I tried my best not to modify anything outside of the quotation marks at the ends of each line of question/dialogue piece.

There is no text in node 23; that could be a problem. I assume the quote mark on node 26 is not in your actual code. I didn't quite see anything aside from that, but I could be overlooking something.

The single quote on that line would cause an error if it was in your script. BoA line numbers only work correctly in the older versions with Macs. I believe Avernum counts a \r (a line delimiter in Macs) as a line, but in Windows the line separator is \r\n, so it counts that twice. Divide your line number by 2 and that should be around the line you should be looking at.

From what I can tell, line numbers work fine with BBEdit Lite and TextWrangler for the Mac and EditPad Pro and Crimson Editor for the PC, as long as you're using the "Special Scenario Development Application" (from the Scenario Workshop). You can still screw them up a little bit (missing ending quotes, missing ending parentheses, etc.), but they are much, much closer this way.

Er, node 26 has a rather odd character right in front of text1. This is probably the source of your "Invalid character" error.

EDIT: Er, yes, what Kahless25 said. But it's a weird backwards quote, an un-caps tilde.

T'is all about the \r\n, friends.

Fantastic! I was so wound up looking for missing quotation marks and semicolons at the end of lines that I missed that in the beginning. I must have hit that little key when I punched the TAB key to indent.

Thanks to everyone. I mean that!
