Could you elaborate? What is *exactly* the problem?

lol. I'm sorry if you're not a native speaker (I'm not one myself...) but think about what that means...

you use a special character in the dialog! ags does not support german, french, spanish etc. special characters...

i am english, and i havnt used any weird signs

hmm... ok, that's strange.

Did you use correct dialog scripting syntax (placed all "quits" correctly?) Double-check, maybe even signs like $& though I am not sure about those....

Welcome to the forums btw...

sorry, i didnt realise you couldnt use Â£ signs, they used $ signs in the tutorial, i have taken the Â£ signs out, now it is fine, thanks anyway

thanks for the welcome, i have to go and watch some programme about deformed faces now, goodbye

Always remember: ELABORATE. Describe EXACTLY what your doing. (Besides, I think it says in the manual not to use wierd signs and stuff like Â£ and $)

Great advice. Don't just come on here and say "Blarg! Need help! Now!"

And this is covered in the BFAQ, but I have updated it to include the pound symbol for British users (ironically enough, AGS was written by a Brit).
