    I've gotten the black screens also when attempting to copy/paste for screenies.

    It happens to me when my cursor is not on screen when I copy, if I have the cursor highlighting something on the screen it seems to work fine.

    Why, I have no idea.

    There's all kinds of potential wackyness going on as regards what is displayed vs. what is capturable on various systems and depending on what various software is running ... it's why you generally can't copy a movie played in movie players with an app like Fraps - what you see is not necessarily what's really there. :dizzy:

    We may have to just live with the spell boxes thingie, Daryk; don't recall off-hand what exactly is and isn't moddable in that interface and it's not horrifically offensive. Thanks for reporting though.

    No worries. It's still legible, but I figured you'd want to know.

    Re: Circle of Eight Modpack v7 / v7 NC General Commentary & Discussion Thread

    In my current game I looted a Scythe from a Skeleton at Emridy Meadows and it´s text description is longer than the windows allows making the last words unreadable.
    Does that happen becaue I only play at 800X600 resolution, is the text of the Scythe simply too long to be displayed or is something wrong with the window not adjusting to allow for more place?

    Did it look like this?

    It happens because the new font is larger than the old one, so the same words take up more space. We need to know when this happens so we can shorten the long descriptions accordingly, so please report any instances of this you see, as well as other irregularities per the original request/instructions.

    In version 7.7 the Masterwork Composite Longbow STR 18 from the Cabinet Maker in Hommlet has a description that is too long for the frame, too.

    The Masterwork Morningstar and Masterwork Light Crossbow are too long too in 7.7

    Is it possible to add descriptions for items that have none? The Merchant´s Scale has no description.

    Edit: The Shortbow´s description is one word too long for the frame to fit in.

    Edit: The "Rusty Falchion" is one word too long for the frame.

    Code:
    {4027}{The falchion has a broad blade, thick along the spine and sharpened on the convex curve of the blade. Used primarily for slashing and chopping, some [color=red]falchions[/color] also have a point which could be used for thrusting. This weapon is of poor quality.  /  To Hit Bonus: -1  /  Damage: 2d4  /  Damage Type: Slashing  /  Critical Range: 18-20/x2  /  Weapon Proficiency: Martial, Falchion}

    The Silver Sword of Chaos´s text is too long, too.

    Does it really need to be mentioned in the name of the sword, and twice in the long description that the silver sword is a silver sword that has the special characteristic of being - silver?

    In that case sir I think that the Monk's Belt description has this problem as well, as does another crafting item that escapes me at the moment...

    Re: Equipment question

    The text of the Masterwork Falchion is too long for the frame too.

    Perhaps "a" instead of The. And remove one "blade" in the first sentence?

    Re: Equipment question

    The long description of the Guisarme is far too long for the text frame:
