Sword Dream technical note 02
Crash on loading a (monster/place/item)
Q: I'm creating a new scenario. I've tried again and again and again (and then stopped) to enter a place I've created, but it still crashes. Can you please check?
A: I found it! There is a limit of 31 characters on names (places, monsters, items etc.), and you used more. The restriction was lifted for places' names, starting with v1.6.1, since it only costs me a pittance in bytes (there's only a single place in use at any given moment, after all), but I won't do the same for items and monsters, so remember to follow the rule.
Mister Monster Maker enforces this rule, but expert scenario designers can retouch things in ResEdit... and make Dream break.
(And if I didn't mention that rule in the manuals for ScenarioMaker, well, I'm a cretin as it ought to be there).
