In-Game Book Problem

Post by Bloodthirsty Crustacean »

Wasn't sure whether to post this in Lit. or here, but I think Lit's public and am unaware how much secrecy should be taken regarding quest plotlines.

Regardless, I am having a problem with a book in-game. I created this for the guar thief Ashamul quest, which is now done apart from this one item.

Code: Select all

<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT COLOR="000000" SIZE="3" FACE="Magic Cards"><BR>
Garas,<BR>
<BR>
Bring five crates of your guar meat to the Silver Serpent in Firewatch. Your prices are quite incredible, Polanna is very happy. How does Garas do it?<BR>
<BR>
Polanna, Publican of the Silver Serpent<br>
<br>

<BR>
<BR>
<FONT SIZE="4">
Foolish Khajiit. How indeed? Little does she know...
For some reason, the bottom part (below the [an addendum...) fails to be displayed.

My first thought was to remove the font size change, but that does nothing, and I'm stumped as to why this isn't working. Any help appreciated.

I dunno, maybe make the breaks lowercase? Other than that I have no idea. Try parenthesis?

Try adding a </Font> or something along the lines? :P

Hmm, I have no idea on this one. I know how to solve Oblivion book problems, but this one stumps me.

One thing to make sure of in Oblivion is that all speech marks look like this " or this â€Â￾ instead of having those that curve/point to the right.

Another thing would be to try Andres' suggestion, and close the previous DIV and FONT, and open a new one.

Also delete any invisible spaces [where you may have inadvertently hit the space bar] (new lines are ok) between coding, and between coding and text, as this sometimes does strange things.
