Custom dialogue not going off in my arc - help?

Are you sure you put the text in the correct boxes and saved the mission changes before testing it? I don't think I've ever heard of a problem like that before.
EDIT: Do you have chat bubbles turned off in your options?

Update - yes I did save everything in the proper format, I believe; on the right-side summary screen, all of the boss dialogue for each action is listed, just the way I wrote it. Same for my escort NPC. I did a test run where I deleted the characters and redid them from scratch. ONE time, I did actually see the text bubbles! But the next few times, I did not.
However, I then asked my son to log in and run the mission with me (still in Test mode) and he saw all the dialogue, both in chat bubbles and in the chat window. I still saw nothing. I checked and I have Chat Bubbles enabled. I don't know what could be happening. I suppose if I know other people can see it, then that's some comfort. I'd still like to get to the bottom of it though. Thanks.
That is very strange. Have you tried restarting the game? It might be a glitch from being in the MA for so long while creating the mission. I've had some funky problems that happened after being in the mission creator for a long period of time. Maybe a fresh start will sync things up.

Thanks!
That's one of my toons, Shannara Arielle (DB/WP tank). She just hit 40 and I'm still debating where to put her new slots. She's my first 40. LOL

Ive had npc dialog work one time, then not work the next on the very same toon..... its random
Thanks to all who have replied. I was testing an arc when I was having this problem; once I published it and ran it several times, as well as asking a friend to do it on his own, it worked fine. So did the next one I created. Problem solved?
Just tonight, I ran that second arc with a friend, and AGAIN I was not seeing any of the dialogue, for the first time in a few days. But my friend saw everything fine. So...I guess I will assume other people can generally read it OK. If so, that's good enough. The system is great fun. Thanks again.
Hello. I just started trying out the MA system and I think it's a lot of fun. I started creating a mission and everything is working correctly, except that none of the dialogue that I wrote is appearing. I did text for the escort NPC, for the enemies before they detect me, the boss before and after he sees me, etc. But none of it is going off. I did custom models for every enemy, might that have something to do with it? No errors are flagged when I am in the creation screen. It's probably something simple that I am missing...thanks in advance.
