Hey, guys. I've got a question on editing in subtitles on Bizhawk that I couldn't immediately find on the site (apologies if I missed it).
What exactly do you type in the 'Length' column? If I put in any sort of number, it gives me the message "Unable to parse value:".
Thanks!

It is how many frames the message should be displayed.
I get that, but when I type in a numerical value it still gives me that same error message.
Am I missing something?

Parse Error Row 0 Column 1
This implies X position of the first row, which is indeed not a number. (It's empty!)
I think you first have to enter X and Y positions before you can proceed.
Warning: Might glitch to creditsI will finish this ACE soon as possible
(or will I?)

The X and Y values need to be set. Your error message is due to having no value for X (the second cell). Try putting a number in there.
Tried both numbers and letters, to no avail.
Any other ideas?

The next question you'll probably ask... It looks like color wants a number from you. 0 is going to be black, if it accepts it, 0xFFFFFF will be white. Otherwise 16777215 should be white.
Not exactly user friendly, but oh well.

Look closer at column #4
Hint: Color.
Ah-ha! That did it for me :D

Knowing me, that would've been my next post, lol.
Appreciate the help, everyone! I agree that this feature could be more user friendly. Perhaps this could be addressed in a future update?

Just voted on it. I think that will definitely be a small step in improving BizHawk even more.
One more question about subtitles: Is there an existing feature to add line breaks in the text, in order to make a paragraph?
Currently, that line of text I have runs off the page, and I'd like to be able to turn it into paragraph form.

I've never used it, but the first things I'd try are \n and \N.

Go for "\r\n" if "\n" doesn't work (obviously, without the quotes).
Neither of these commands work, unfortunately (both capitals and lower-case). Maybe Adelikat would know?

I suppose you could always use two separate subtitles and position them under each other.
On another note, the initial issue has been fixed: newly generated rows contain default values.

Yeah, I could do that as a workaround. It gets the job done.

Awesome! I'm glad this thread led to a contribution.

Gotta say that subtitle progress for me is going very well! Is there a built-in command for strikethrough text, though?

As you have figured out, there is no way to do line breaks (and not an easy way to build this functionality). The intended work around is to indeed use multiple subtitles at the same time.
Font size and style customization such as strike through is beyond the scope of what will be supported.

For strike through you could use two subtitles and make one subtitle all hyphens, so it crosses out the other subtitle.

Well, the only thing you can do with an .ass is render it with VSFilter. It's a broken-ass format with no hard specification ever other than "what VSFilter does". The only reason libass has been able to catch up and match most of the broken behaviors required is that VSFilter is dead.
The original specification of the SubStationAlpha format includes a way to markup strings that are meant to be passed directly to system(). Thankfully, I don't think even VSFilter was stupid enough to implement this.
