Crap need help.

[Visvalor]

So I dusted off the ole'FG again and am playing, got a problem though. Whenever a character loads one of the pages on my ruleset, it causes some sort of issue with the db.xml and it will reset with a fresh db.xml next time I run the program

It's a pretty elaborate page too... actually it's 10 elaborate windows with roughly 3200 lines on each one. The db.xml goes from 5kb to 76kb with a single character opening the pages.

Is it because of my size or is there an error? I thought it was possibly because I used [] brackets in the dice descriptions but I changed them to () to no avail.

Any help?

Also if it helps, here is a copy of one of those 10 pages.

Ok, found what causes the error but I have no idea why.

The diescores (There are a lot of them) If I remove all of them, I no longer have db.xml corruption issues.

What is wrong with this code?

<!--Main Strike Dice-->

Oh GODDAMMIT :P

I removed all the [] completely and didn't replace it with () and it works fine. Anyone know if I can use any form of brackets? I want it to state [sm -1] or whatever when it rolls! :PPP

[drahkar]

I'm not sure if you need to escape out the [] characters. Might try it thought. Those characters are considered special characters in programming. Try putting them back in with a \[ and \] and see if it helps. Can't know for sure, but it is a thought.

I would store that information separately and not use it in the tags.

Most programming languages are fairly picky about what characters can be used in variable names, and all the controls are converted into variables for LUA support.

* A variable name has to start either with a letter (character) or an underscore.
* Only characters, numbers an underscores are allowed in variable names.
* Reserved words are not allowed for using as name for a variable.

Yea it's all fixed and good to go now :P but I'd have liked to keep the brackets. No worries.

When I am creating libraries and I want to force a preceding space into the title of an entry I use #160;

Could you not use #40; and #41; ?

Not tried it myself but might work.
