0.10.4 Jack of Trades Spell and Run Off Text

Post by princessbinas »

The spell, "Jack of Trades" has two issues. One is that there is run off text within the description. The other is the appearance of "every %cs[undefined]" within its description. Despite this, it appears to work as intended from my knowledge. I could be wrong due to the fact some of the text is running off the screen.

Outside of this spell, the other place I remember seeing run off text was in the book "On Lycanthropy." I believe I saw some run off text in other places, but I cannot recall any other specifics.

EDIT: Found the other place where there is run off text. It is in the quest debugging menu. It is on the right side of the screen.

This looks to still be a problem in 0.10.27

That text comes from TEXT.RSC

And in classic it's replaced with an empty string, it's not obvious what it's supposed to be. Could as well be a bug.

I fixed this is my TEXT.RSC patch which will be included in 0.10.28.
