Possible bug... NI "corrupting" dlg data?

[fkirenicus]

Heya.

I'll just post an observation for now, will add screenshots later (if I am able to post such things).

I was editing the _LIIA.DLG file (EasyTutu) last night, when I ran into a strange problem...

What I wanted was to AddexperienceParty(value) IF this was the first time she divined Sarevok's whereabouts/divined Sarevok's whereabouts and teleported the party to the Thief Guild.

Now, in order to do this I had to add a response, and put in a check for a variable I created.

All went well, I had no problem of actually doing it.
But when I checked the file after saving it (fortunately I had made a backup of the .dlg file), I found that triggers and actions where "corrupted" somehow...

Where before it had been e.g.
<trigger 13> Global("X#DynaLiia",GLOBAL",1)
<trigger 14> Global("FK#LiiaDivined","GLOBAL",0)
<action 11> SetGlobal("X#DynaLiia","GLOBAL",1)
<action 12> AddexperienceParty(12000)

now read
<trigger 13> GLOBAL("X#DynaLiia,"GLOBAL",
<trigger 14> 1)
<trigger 15> Global("FK#LiiaDivined","GLOBAL",0
<trigger 16> )
<action 11> SetGlobal("X#DynaLiia","GLOBAL"
<action 12> ,1)
<action 13> AddexperienceParty(
<action 14> 12000)

Needless to say, such a file refused to compile.

I switched to using DLTCEP, and had no problem of the same kind whatsoever.

I am going away for a few days (I have to attend a funeral), but will try to post "evidence" (if I am able) when I get back.

I'd strongly recommend not editing dialogues with NI and instead learning how to write .d files to be compiled with WeiDU.

In time... 

As for now, I'm studying this, but I need to see a "correct" version before looking up the .d file...
So I make changes with DLTCEP and export to a d. fie, which I can open and read (and hopefully in time learn from how to manually create .d files).
