Getting an error message while trying to post raws on the forum?
« on: December 12, 2016, 01:06:38 am »

I was asked to make a mod creature by somebody. I made the creature but when I try to post the raw text for the creature here on the forums or in a private message I get the same "the message body was left empy" error. What's going on with this and how do I get around it?

I haven't been able to find a way around it other than to replace the square brackets with alternate brackets.

The forum refuses to let me post these language raws, for example, if I replace the chevrons with square brackets.

<S_WORD:ARMOUR>
<S_WORD:ARMOUR_2>
<S_WORD:ARMOUR_3>

<T_WORD:ARMOUR:oquobmi>
<T_WORD:ARMOUR_2:oquobmi>
<T_WORD:ARMOUR_3:oquobmi>

Already tried that, it doesn't work. Again, try copying and pasting the following block of RAWs into the forum, replacing the chevrons with square brackets. It won't allow it, even with code tags. I'm not sure why some parts of RAW code trigger it but others don't.

This block of code can be posted...
Code: [Select]
[T_WORD:ARMOUR:oquobmi] on its own, and with [RANDOM] [STUFF] works...

...but not this.
Code: [Select]
<S_WORD:ARMOUR>
<S_WORD:ARMOUR_2>
<S_WORD:ARMOUR_3>

<T_WORD:ARMOUR:oquobmi>
<T_WORD:ARMOUR_2:oquobmi>
<T_WORD:ARMOUR_3:oquobmi>

I tried using the code tags to no avail. I guess I am just going to have to save it as a text file and find somewhere to upload it. What started as a simple friendly gesture to make a monster somebody wanted has turned into quite the time sink. What is the normal protocol for sharing small mods in the DF community?

I have tried it repeatedly both in the forum and personal messages and I get the same error message every time.

I'm saying to try using [nobbc] tags.

Sorry, I don't know how I missed that the first read through. My bad, and thanks for the heads up. I'll give it a shot.

Edit: Worked like a charm. You have my thanks. :)
