Here it is.

Like all geneforge editors, copy the linked file into the geneforge3/data/scripts directory (remember to make a backup copy of z42dhonaldlg.txt, or even better of the whole directory).

To use the editor go to Dhonal's keep main library and talk with the shaper that usually says he can't be bothered.

Some of the features:
Reset canister countTeleport to starting point of each islandMove nearer/farther to/from shaper beliefsIncrease walking speedThe usual money, stat, skill, level increase.Hope you like it :)
For any request for new featurs feel free to post.

Most of this has allready been done, exept for the island teleportation. For this I thank you.

I keep getting 'dialog script broken or absent when I try to use it'. Anyone else have this problem? Any way it can be fixed to use the editor?

If you're having problems with the scripts do post it here, it's the only way i have to fix it.

When? When you load or when you try to talk with the shaper?

That error message results when the script isn't completely downloaded. Make sure it finishes, and doesn't get cut off for some reason.

It happens when I try to talk to someone. It happens on two different editors I downloaded. The file names are exact, and I downloaded each more than once, but still get the message.

The two editors I tried:
1) the busy librarian in Dhonal's Keep (the one above)
2) sign post in south end

The editor in south End, in the sign.. Is this mine or someone else's editor you're talking about?

Yes, this is your file I downloaded. I checked to make sure file name and file was complete. They were.

WHO were you talking to? I haven't encountered problems on mine, but others have said something like you. None mentioned who the problems were with, because when I went and checked in my game I talked to maybe one or two people and they worked. I might have missed the person you mean. Or something.
I'd like details, if possible. :/

Yes, I was talking about your editor. It happens when I try to look at any post in South End, not just the one that is edited. I didn't try talking to anyone.

Now on the other editor I tried, where you talk to the librarian in Dhonal's Keep, everyone I tried to talk to had the same result.

It may be you have done a little mess with all the editors you downloaded ;)
Reinstall Geneforge 3 (or simply put back the original script files), download the script (be sure the file contains all 199 talknodes) and try again. If it doesn't work i have a problem to solve :P

Btw are you using a macintosh?

[Edit]
try this: open my script in the browser, select all and then copy. Open z42dhonaldlg.txt in your geneforge/data/scripts folder, delete all and paste my script

When a dialogue script loads with errors, nobody in the town will be able to talk, no dialog box messages will go off, no signs will work, etc.

I've changed a few things(the formatting in some specific cases could get screwed up), now it should work whichever way you put it in the script folder.

I made a copy of the entire script folder before making any changes, so all the scripts are correct. I'm not having a problem playing right now since I removed the edited scripts.

I am using a Windows PC...

Please try again.
Click here and then save it in your script folder. :)

Is it Aenele that I am supposed to talk to? I downloaded it into the scripts file, but am not getting an option from her to edit my character.

EDIT - Though at least now I can talk to people!

... I bet you guys just have somehow changed mine after you got it, thinking you're 'fixing' it. There's no other explanation. Can't be. It works as it is.

I know nothing about scripts, so I never attempted an edit. Here is exactly what I did:

I first made a copy of the original script and pasted elsewhere. Then I downloaded the file (replacing the original). Then I'd open the game and get the broken script result. So then I'd shut it down and replace the edited script with the original. Then it works again.

I see now that I needed to talk to the no name Shaper, no Aenele in regards to the editor. It works! Whatever you did in the revision fixed it. THANK YOU!!!

No, it's true. Editing your old message is in general preferred over double- or- triple-posting.
