It seems that long dialog options are cut off after a certain length. It does not look to good, since the line goes black after 60% of the screen approximately. I guess there is a maximum length to these options.
Can this be fixed somehow or do I have to rewrite the options into shorter phrases? And does anyone know how long a dialog option can be before getting cut off?
Yes, there is a limit to the length of dialog options. I don't know of any way around it apart from creating your own dialogue system.
Do you know what the maximum length is? :-\
The maximum length of a dialog option is 150 characters. This should be well over 60% of the screen width, in fact text of this length would generally occupy two lines.
Why is that? I mean, why isn't it 200 characters? And I'm presuming that, based on what I've read here, you can't make a dialog option span multiple lines with the built in dialog system??? Wow...:D
A dialog option can span multiple lines, which is why I'm curious about what the problem is here.
Well that's what I thought.
But still, why 150 characters instead of 200? I presume that there is a reason?

Have a look at this. This is compiled in AGS v 2.70. I think it used to work properly in previous versions.
Are the options cut off like that in the editor, or is the full text shown in the editor?
...
Hmm, it seems there's a bug in the Dump Text feature, where it will truncate dialog options to 70 characters when you import the dumped text back in. Have you used that feature recently?
It's the same in the editor. Didn't see that before. And I recently used the dump text feature. That's probably the issue.
Yep, that makes sense. I'll fix the bug for the next version.
Edit by strazer: Fixed in AGS v2.71 Beta 5
Great!
