(I'm sorry, Meph. But does it?)
I just thought apologising would be appropriate. *takes a look at the topic*
Hm... Seems handy. I'll take a look at it next time I'm editing my trial.

No! Stop adding guides to your non-affiliated wiki, please. We don't need two places for these guides.

Re: Guide: Meph's Handy Tips #1: Writing dialogues
If we're going to be talking about presentation in the boxes, why don't we add the following tips:
The use of pause tags is also very important. You should use the following tags: [#p10] and [#p20].
The use of pause tags is also very important. You should use the following tags: [#p10] and [#p20].
- [#p10] should be used just after a comma or a semicolon.
- [#p20] should be used after a period, exclamation point, a question mark or a colon.
- Addendum to above: do NOT use a pause tag after a period if it is part of the name, e.g, "Mr. Wright" or "Mrs. Romanov" or "Ms. Skye."

Re: Guide: Meph's Handy Tips #1: Writing dialogues
These are good tips, and I use them occasionally but it's a pain the neck to keep typing it over and over. And I don't use shortkeys or whatever it's called so... yeah.

Re: Guide: Meph's Handy Tips #1: Writing dialogues
If you mean the pauses, copy the one that you use the most and, when you paste it somewhere else, change the number.

Re: Meph's Handy Tips #1: Writing dialogues
I do have a question that I hope is relevant (but probably not )
It's about script writing, and this was the closest thing I can find.
How would scripting a trial would be like? Like, how would it be constructed?
Like this?;
Judge: Mr. Wright! You can't be serious!
(Wright nods) Yes, Your Honor. I am.
Or differently?

You are a banana.

Re: Meph's Handy Tips #1: Writing dialogues
Do you mean in the editor, or writing out the script before putting it into the editor?
If it's the editor, then it'll be very different; you'd have to make each individual frame. (If you just go into the editor and start playing around, most of the basics shouldn't be too hard to master ;P)
If you're just writing out the text before putting it into the editor, then just use whatever works for you.

Re: Meph's Handy Tips #1: Writing dialogues
This guide is for writing in the Editor, itself.
What you're doing is fine for the planning of the script, but when you enter it in the Editor, you will have to adjust it because of how lines and dialogue is broken down.

Re: Meph's Handy Tips #1: Writing dialogues
I already had my experience with the editor (and failed, because my trial was not scripted) but since I can just Wright it anyway I want, then nevermind

Re: Meph's Handy Tips #1: Writing dialogues
@ Meph it seems that most your serious topic go off topic every now an then. Thanks for the tips.
May I comment: a little thing about the boxes even the once stack up does not sometime play right. I seem to be do something
like a opening statement for the prosecution it takes a long time to get things right I have found that indeed the tip of stacking
and copy and pasting does work. However: the colours/colors are a little too sensitive to the click of the mouse and sometimes
it gives me to many <red> like that in fact this problem is with any colour included <white> or Normal as it is named in the editor.
It seems to be seen the edit in the trial.

Ace Attorney Poem.
What a crime is done.
Gumshoe's has come.
His name is Dick.
It's a point and click.
To find a clue
or maybe a few.
To made your point of view.
In the trial
where every one stares
the judge does glare.
Objections fly from everywhere!
