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...

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...

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

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

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). :) : http://bfaq.terran-x.com/#graphics03
