Error message.
You basically have to locate and revise those fields.
Save Ms. Liberty (#5349) � Augmenting Peacebringers � The Umbra Illuminati
I think those tags might be what's shown in the actual story arc file text, so if you open that file in a text editor and search for "DeathSpeech" and "Attacker2Speech" you might get a better idea of what's going wrong.
If you get specific details please post them here - that might save someone else some headache down the road.
And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines
You might want to copy the text to notepad to see what's actually there. At times I've had problems with text that had a paragraph break in it that was showing as an html error in the text. Usually it's caused by the text editing function that seems to have some wonkiness in the way that it copies/pastes, especially if you try to use ctrl+c/ctrl +v. After removing the text to notepad it would still seem to have one or more characters in the text bar, when none could be seen. The only way I could get that to clear out was to highlight the whole space and backspace or delete it. Then it would show 0 characters in that text bar. For some reason there was an extra space showing up as being there, even when it looked blank. After you clear it, paste the text back in from notepad using the right click/copy/paste. Hopefully, that will clear it up.
Another thought... there may be a problem if you're using the $name, etc., commands. Never ran into that, but maybe it's a macro or bind that you're trying to use?

Could be both then.
I typed my text into Word and did copy/past (using the ctrl shortcuts).
I also use paragraphe breaks and macro such as $name (quite a lot of them, really).
So, yeah, I'll have a look at the file, it didn't cross my mind to open it as a text file...

I had a problem when I used MS Works for editing some stuff and pasting from there. After that, I tried notepad and it worked better because there seems to be a conflict with the basic formatting used in word processing programs. Notepad doesn't have all that formatting junk built into it.

Interesting; I'll try using Works... It might help.
Also you may want to try this:
Go to suspected text fields, select all text, then Ctrl+X/Ctrl+V (can't remember if Ctrl+A to select all text works, otherwise just use the mouse or shift+arrows). This will cut (as opposed to copy) all the text in that field, then paste it again. I have used this with good results to get rid of invisible or otherwise mysterious HTML bloat in those text fields.

I meant that using Works was giving me fits because it's a word processor. Notepad is much cleaner because it has no built-in formatting that can mess up the text. That's why it can be used to type code in. There's no 'hidden' formatting.
Sorry, if I wasn't clear about that before.

Ok.
My laptop is reasonably recent, and I suspect that they did away with notepad...
Anyhoot; I fixed it.
I you are curious, I started by coyping the arc (as was suggested in this thread). Then, I did erase objective after objective, using the 'save and test' option every time, to narrow the problem and then went back to the original copy and looked into the details.
Interestingly, I suspect that the error message did not discriminate. Field DeathSpeech, for example, probably can correspond to the death speech of any of the 4 bosses I put in the mission...
Field DeathSpeech appear to be the text a boss gives upon defeat.
I think the problem came from the copy pasting, as suggested, there were 'phantom characters' that did not show up and put the chatty boss over the limit.
I also had a line break that might not have helped.

Was the text of the second attacker of a dependable object...

I am not sure what it means, I went through all my bosses' dialogues (there is 4 of them) and they all seem to be within the the character limit. And, after all, the game would not let me type anything beyond that limit.
The orange error icon is also not lit.
So, I was wondering if any of you had encountered this problem before and any suggestion regarding how to solve it...
Thanks for the help.
