Hoping to make your life's design a bit more dynamic!

I just came across this dialogue formatting error while playing through Chocolate's scenario. Apologies if this has already been reported.



Thanks for the patch, by the way; I'm really enjoying the game.

Thanks for the report, we'll look into it and we are happy you like the game;
Its certainly one of the best SNES RPGs out there as I see it.

Here are the two strings as inserted.

From Block 034:

;----------------------;
; ;
;----------------------;
; ROM Offset: 0010E0E5
.REL-PTR = $0010D978

; ショコラ
; 「姉さん、姉さん！
.TEXT
Chocolate: Big Sister, Big
Sister!
.ENDT

;----------------------;
; ;
;----------------------;
; ROM Offset: 0010E0F6
.REL-PTR = $0010D97A

; エクレア
; 「ショコラ……
.TEXT
Eclair: Ch-Chocolate......
.ENDT

What is happening is that two adjacent strings in Block 034 are running together on one screen. The "y" symbol you see on the screen between them is something we usually witness whenever we try to insert a blank string. Looking at the coding in the text, this glitch appears illogical, so this is a problem for Bongo` to investigate. If you can produce us an SRM of this location, or better yet, an SNES9x V143 save-state just before this happens, that would be very useful.

Appreciate the report.

Yeah, very weird... This certainly didn't happen when I did my run-through of the game.

Didn't happen to me either, but I can produce the needed save. I believe the section refers to...

Maybe there were trailing whitespaces in the string that are causing this,
although I can't be sure, it sounds plausible as a starting point at the very least.

WB and Bongo': I emailed you guys the files in question and I was able
to reproduce the issue as well, so its a valid report.

I have attached both the save state and the SRM to this reply.

If it helps, I used snespurify to strip the ROM's header and Lunar IPS to hard patch the ROM.

Thanks for the report!

One more.



The error occurred on more lines than the dialogue box can hold, so I just attached two screenshots together.

This error happened just before the final boss on Mevius' quest. (So don't click on the spoiler link if you haven't played that part yet!) I have played through all eight scenarios now, and apart from this instance and the one I reported above, I have not seen this error anywhere else. The SRM I have attached to this post has a Mevius save file just before this cutscene.

Wow, that error looks even crazier than the previous one!! How was that one triggered?! (Never saw it on my end when playing)

This one never happened to me either.
Could you supply the necessary files for analysis, AKouji?
If that's not possible, I'll try and generate them myself;
thanks in advance for helping us unearth these little buggers
and bringing the patch to an even higher standard.
