"improperly formated html, exceeds character limits"
I have no idea what this means or what it is tat I am suppose to fix or change. All of the dialogue and/or information i put ito the fields has not exceeded the character limit for the plain reason, it wont let you. So someone, anyone, please tell me what this vague error is suppose to mean?

Remember when the error message pops up, all you have to do is click on the icon, followed by clicking on the reported error. when you do that MA will open the appropriate place in your mission where the error is.
I find the reason this particular error comes up is because you're using a game character in your mission as an ally or captive. It must be a bug that now the game will show the ally or captive's bio as being too long.
I imagine this will also happen if you type out a bio for a custom critter which is more than 300? characters.
All you have to do is shorten the character's bio.
This error also occurs if you put in a line break with too few characters left. When the game automagically goes and puts in the < br > if you don't have enough characters left, it'll push it over the line, and typically cut off part of the HTML, breaking the code while leaving you over the edge.
If you are getting that error, you may have a cannon-created character (such as Sister Psyche or Amanda Vines) that has a default bio that is longer than what is now allowed.
Go through any bosses or captive/allies and click on them and look at their text descriptions. You should be able to get around this by paring the description down.
That blue thing running around saying "Cookies are sometimes food" is Praetorian Cookie Monster!
Shoot on sight, please.
Boss Description was the culprit. Its a shame i deleted my first arc because i was so mad that i couldnt figure it out...
