Hello, I have a problem with the quest log. I use the left part for codex entries - the quest description part to be specific. And it always get cut off after a number of characters (I didn't count but it doesn't seem to be tied to the number of lines).

The thing I'm almost sure when I started to put entries I checked and it worked, and I copy pasted the text of one entry into another map to test and it also worked. No idea why NOW it gets cut.

I tried making the "quest" be created with the text when you discover or having it be created at map initialization and discovering the quest later, tried to make entry creation a separate trigger or in the main "map init" one, tried to reduce the total number of "quests"... nothing works

Anyone knows what could suddenly change the behavior of the quest log ? :confused:2

🤦‍♂️ Nevermind, while searching in my quest log triggers to quote here, I just found that at some point Worldedit decided to eat the last part of my text while working on the map. :huh: So of course in game it's also cut.
I thought I had already checked, I guess not.

I suppose I'll have to check each time I save the map that the editor didn't decide to randomly be "quirky" again. :angry:

Not that long, like 3-4 full lines :
The insectoid trader faction has an outpost in the southeast. They're currently at war with the aggressive fhtagnites but are usually more interested in trading favors or items than blows. Still, they're cunning and more numerous than the tentacled warriors and I can see the war prolonging some centuries. Just as well, being their main trade partner benefits our family.
was cut around "prolonging" for example.
