baldur46233 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Well hello again everyone! Just wanted to know if WeiDU corrects dialogues or anything else correctly. What I mean is when it says,"Error at line 157 column 1-1", is it exactly in that certain place? Since, I have checked that place for errors I can't seem to find any, or maybe it's my lack of proofreading . It keeps leading me to this ceratin place "++", yet I can't find anything wrong there. Someone may have answered already but I must've forgotten..... If anyone could answer this, thank you! (How many times have I said that for the past month....? Well, the world may never know.)

berelinde Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Your error will be above the point WeiDU identifies. If WeiDU says the error is in line 746 columns 1-26, it will be in one of the lines above 746. If WeiDU says the error is in line 746 columns 109-115, it will probably be in line 746 before character 109. Link to comment

berelinde Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 1 Post your code including the line with the error and ~20 lines above it. 2 Quote the error message exactly. The error text says a lot about what kind of error it is. Link to comment

baldur46233 Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Well, I fixed it (thanks to both of you ) ...now I have another problem at the Tree of Life Talk...

jastey Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 ++ ~Draco, you don't need to risk your life for me.
