How to properly edit speech files

[Flame6728]

I copied all the examinations to a google doc, finished it in a week then replaced the sample characters speech file with the information from the doc, but that caused the game to crash, I'm just wondering if I did something wrong.

You have probably made some formatting/syntax errors somewhere. If you can find your crash log and look for the error message, it will point you in the general area of where in the file you've made a mistake (usually it is a missing comma at the end of a line, but it might be something else.)

If you have trouble fixing the crash, you can send your speech file and I will look at it for you.

In the future I would recommend using the tool _zwb linked above to edit your speech file. It streamlines the process of adding new lines in such a way that you can't make mistakes like this
