Known Bugs [SOLVED!]

Heya! I've been using this code to update my games and noticed a bug that I need to tell you all about.

If there is a text tag in the dialogue that's being grabbed, then it will count that as text characters being counted and style it according to the tag.

For example, if your dialogue looks like this in the engine:

Then it will look like this when grabbed, even when the limit is set to 25 characters.

Note how short the text actually is and note how the quotation mark at the end is colored.

Sometimes this doesn't cause issues, like when your sentence being grabbed starts with a bold tag or a color tag. Just keep wary if you have long tags (like font tags or image tags) because if it cuts off in the middle of the tag, then you may get an error when you access the save/load. So for now, I would recommend having text effects be at the end of the sentence to avoid this OR commenting out the last_phrase section.

I'll be looking into fixing this, but if you happen to get to it quicker than I can and you'd like to share, then please tell me so I can update this!

UPDATE: 

There's a fix now!  I will update the files on the itch page, but unfortunately I'm having internet problems so I won't be able to upload it right this moment.

For now though, in the current file find def the_lastline(d): in your code and replace what's there with the following:

    def the_lastline(d):

        mylast_line = getattr(store, '_last_raw_what', '',)

        line_take = renpy.substitute(renpy.filter_text_tags(mylast_line, allow=[]))[:25]

        d["last_line"] = line_take

so it will look like this:

And the problem should be fixed! This also allows for any player text input (like names) to be replaced with what was typed and not just a variable that could get cut in the middle.

Thanks so much to Feniks for the info and the help! :D
