in practice you can RIGHTCLICK on the dialogue textbox (not the speaking character, but the texts) and select "Select All", you'll see the text highlighted in black, and you can either do CTRL+C to copy or click again with right mouse button to do "Copy".
You can then paste it as normal text and fix the errors, then send me the fixed texts
Hope someone can do this for me. thanks
p.s. for some reason doesn't work on first sentence, but on the subsequent ones yes.
There's no way you can just copy the script to a text file? Well, I could have a look see...
Maybe it would help if I copied it over as it as first.
Okay, I've copied the script out so it's easier to proofread, but I don't have time to do that now. I'll probably have time at the weekend if someone hasn't done it by then...
I wonder where Magdalene went...?
She was here just a few minutes ago, but I can't find her anywhere!
Ah, here she is!
I got a surprise for you!
Oh...what is it?
A beautiful flower for my new friend!
She hands me a wonderful alpine flower that she must have picked somewhere nearby!
-Oh thank you so much, Magdalene!
Instinctively, I run to Magdalene and embrace her tightly. She says nothing but I can feel her emotions.
I'm so happy to have met you, Heileen. Nobody ever comes to my small Bavaria village.
Yes, my uncle Otto had a good idea, after all.
Oh, look there, he's him coming our way!
Otto doesn't like Magdalene. He sees her only as an ignorant farmer, an useless friend I made myself in this short trip.
-Why did you do that?! It was a rare flower!
Did you really had to do that for me??
Oh...I'm sorry, I thought...
I don't want you to kill another lifeform, especially if rare like this one, just to make me a present...
Okay...I understood...but I wanted only to- oh no, your uncle Otto is here!
Girls! What are you doing there?
Otto, my uncle. He's a prominent English merchant, born in Prussia.
He's been a traveler throughout his entire life. Today is my 16th birthday and he thought to bring me here, in the Bavaria region.
We have a visitor.
Oh no, please! Don't tell me that you're referring to... to THAT woman!
Please Heileen, show a bit of respect for my...friend.
Yes sure! She's only your...friend! Nothing more...
Insolent girl! You should show more respect! Don't forget that I am the man that took care of you, since you lost your parents!
Several years have passed...but everytime I think about it, I start crying. I can't do anything about this.
Stop crying...Lora is coming here...
No! so she'll know you made me cry!
I said stop! you can't always do what you want!
-Okay I will stop crying...but I don't want to talk with her.
Damn is too late...she's coming nearby...I can't avoid her.
Hello darlings! It's a pleasure to see you again, Heileen! You get more beautiful every day!
Ehm, thank you, Lora.
Are you having fun here?
Yes, it's really a wonderful place!
Yes yes... a bit too cold for my tastes though!
Well of course you feel dizzy, if you go around half naked...!
(laughing) Haha Heileen, you're so fun!
Well there's nothing I can do...I try everytime, but I just can't make her angry!
Otto, let's go inside, I need to... talk with you.
Yes, I'm coming. You Heileen, try not to get into any trouble while we're away, ok?
Of course...he's so eager to go inside to... "talk"!
(hugging me) See you later, sweetie!
S-see you...
Why she always need to have physical contact with everyone around her!?
That Lora... is so nice with you!
Yes...but still I can't stand her!
But why? she really loves you! I should be jealous of her...
Oh Magdalene, please! Stop it!
Okay okay, relax yourself! Why don't we go inside? is starting to be cold...
Yes, good idea. Also, I am hungry! I want to taste some local food.
-Bouahhh! Uncle Otto is really a bad man!
She's coming nearby...even if I can't stand her, Otto will learn to be more polite with me.
Hello darlings! Oh! But... why are you crying, Heileen?
Otto...sigh...he says that...that I'm only a burden...
Otto! I can't believe you said that to the poor little one!
Did she just called me...'little one'? Damn...I want to punch her in the face...
Heileen, don't listen to him! You're a wonderful little creature! You know that I love you!
I guess she always has to put the words 'little' and 'love' when she talks with me...
Thanks Lora...I really appreciated your words!
Obviously isn't true, but I need to have her as ally against Otto.
You're welcome, sweetie!
So...we are free to go around as we like, right? I mean, me and my friend Magdalene?
Of course! This is a trip for your birthday! I want...I mean, WE want you to be happy. Do what you want, have fun!
But Lora, they're too young for...
Shut up! Ehm, I mean, Otto, leave them be, they'll be fine. This isn't a dangerous place. There aren't many men around...
I suppose you already checked this out, eh?
Maybe this time I'll make her angry...Lora glares at me...but then she smiles again and says:
Of course! But only to be sure that you two, young ladies, are safe. And you'll be, there are only old men around here!
Okay...so Magdalene, you want to come with me?
Sure! where?
(whispering)Anywhere, as long as we're away from those two!
Oh I understand now! Well, why we don't go inside? It's dinner time...
Yes, good idea! I'm starting to feel hungry.
We enter the dinner hall...there's lot of tasteful food there!
We sit down in a corner. I don't like to be at center of attention...me, Magdalene and Lora are the only women in this room!
Heileen, look there!
She gestures towards Lora.
As always, her "tales," as she likes to refer to them, captivate the audience...
Well...I know that you hate her, but I think she's the perfect partner for Otto.
Really? and why you think so?
Otto is so shy... and grumpy... instead she is so extrovert, kind! She is...
...beautiful!
Stop talking about her... especially this way!
(laughing) Ahah ok, I won't talk about her anymore, promised!
We quietly eat some delicious food.
Aww... I'm stuffed!
Me too! But it was so good!
I didn't notice but we're almost alone in the hall now. There are only a few servants cleaning out the tables and nobody else.
Is true that tomorrow you have to leave?
Yes...unfortunately. My uncle has to travel again...
And where he's going?
I don't know... but I think he's going to the New World again this year.
Wow! the New World! Damn how I wish I could go with him!
-(LIE) Oh well, I've been there already, it's nothing special.
Oooh! You've been there already!? And you're just sixteen!
Yes...but it's a long trip, I wouldn't do it again.
Do you want to see my house?
Sure, why not! I'm curious.
-Honestly I would have fear of making such a big voyage!
Really? I would like to do it instead!
I really envy you...with an uncle like that, you can travel with him and discover the world!
Instead, I'm stuck here in my own little world...in this beautiful, but small village...sigh...
Hey, don't cry...there's nothing wrong with that! I mean...it could be worse.
Heh, yes I guess you're right and... I should stop whining. Is your last day here...do you want to see my house?
Yes, sure! let's go.
We go inside. It's really a modest house...and there's an unpleasant smell around...
...
You...you're disgusted?
Oh no no! Why do you say that?
Don't lie to me...you have a strange look in your face...!
Well, to be honest...yes it is a bit different from what I'm used to...
-But it isn't a problem, really! I will get used to it.
Thank you. I know this isn't easy for you. I never had a friend...noble like you.
Ahah don't flatter me! I'm not really a noble anyway, I'm just...
...just living and traveling with one of the most famous merchant of whole Liverpool, right?
Yes well... I admit being with Otto has 'some' advantages, after all.
We talk for few hours, but inevitably, it gets too late, and I have to leave for my room.
You...you need to leave now, right?
Yes...and tomorrow will have to leave very early... at 5 am!
That's not a problem. I'll be there tomorrow to give you my last hug!
Great! I'm going now... see you tomorrow then.
-Maybe we could go in my room instead?
Thank you, but...I think I'll stay here.
...hey, it's all right?
Yes, don't worry. Isn't your fault. Isn't my fault too.
We can go back to the dining hall if you pref-
Leave! ...no really, I shouldn't be screaming, but...leave me now. Please.
I look at her sad face. I probably hurt her somehow... or maybe she realized that we're quite different...
Tomorrow, will have to depart at 5am...
Say goodbye and goodluck to Otto and Lora on my behalf then.
I manage to get outside before she notices I'm crying. It's weird, really...
The light of the moon lights up the surrounding valley...it's...magnificent...
It's very cold, but...it's hard not to be enchanted by this unique spectacle!
Here is so different from Liverpool, my hometown...
I'd like to stay out there to admire the moon and the stars forever, but I decide to go inside to sleep... tomorrow I'll have to wake up early.
I'm sorry to be leaving this place... and Magdalene...
...I know her only since a week, but she was special...no, she IS special...
...and...zzzZZZZ
Heileen! Wake up!
Don't be too rude with her! She's sleeping!
Okay then, wake her up! We have to go in less than 2 hours!
Hey, darling? come on, wake up please...
L-lora? What happened?
We need to leave in about 2 hours! get up from bed, please.
Lora...I don't want to leave...! This place is so beautiful...
(laugh)Don't be silly Heileen! You don't want to live here, believe me. It's a beautiful place but...anyway, you're still too young to decide for yourself! Hurry up, we'll wait outside.
I slowly start to dress up...but I can't stop crying...I keep thinking at this place...
...after about 30 minutes I get outside, but there's nobody! Weird!?
Heileen!
Magdalene! What happened? you seem worried!
Your carriage is broken! One of the wheels is greatly damaged.
What...? a broken wheel?
Yes...they just found it out!
She is shocked...or maybe only excited because I...
...I can't leave then...?
Lora and Otto went to Munich, the big town nearby, to look for a replacement...
They didn't tell me anything! Strange...
Yes they were such in a hurry! we could go there too. It's only two hours of walking...
-Two hours?! I'm not used to walk for so long!
Heileen! Move! We're late!
Otto? And Magdalene is running away to her house in tears?
Did you hear me?
Y-yes yes! Don't be so arrogant! I'm coming now!
I enter the coach, and start my journey back home. However, I can't stop thinking about what happened.
Why Magdalene lied to me? It...it was a desperate last attempt to keep me here?
And what were her real feelings for me?
As I was going away from that place, my mind was filled with questions...which probably will never be answered.
Those were my last thoughts of that early summer trip in Bavaria.
END
-Okay...I want to ask them what are their plans.
We begin to walk along the narrow road that leads down to the city...
It's a sunny day, and the landscape is marvelous as always.
Did they tell you anything else...?
Uh? No, no... they were such in a hurry!
(laughing) Ahah I know what you mean... Otto is always in a hurry!
Yes, seems so...!
Magdalene is strangely silent during the walk. Finally we arrive in Munich! It's really big, and full of stalls along the streets.
See, we have big cities even here in Bavaria!
Yes, is very beautiful! But...will be hard to find Otto and Lora... there's too many people!
Maybe they are in that direction...hey since we're here, can we take a look at those stalls?
We spend a few hours to search them, and from time to time we stop to look at the goods on display. Very interesting stuff!
Oh, look at that medallion! is beautiful...
She points to a beautiful silver medallion set with precious stones. Indeed is really unique.
You want it?
Ah ah no, I can't afford that! it must be so expensive...!
I ask the merchant, and it's 200 gold pieces. Quite expensive, but I could afford it using all the money in my pocket.
-Buy the medallion as gift for Magdalene
Oh..! Heileen, no!
Why not? So once I'm gone, you'll have something to always remember me!
I wouldn't forget you in any case... but... thank you! thank you a lot!
We spend some more hours trying to find Otto and Lora, but then we decide to get back to the village, since is starting to be late.
-Keep looking for Otto and Lora
We spend some more hours trying to find Otto and Lora, but then we decide to get back to the village, since is starting to be late.
As soon as we get back to the village, Magdalene seems worried of something...she looks strange!
I have to go to my house now...
Uh...ok, see you later!
Heileen!! where have you been! We were so worried!!
Heileen!! Oh thank God you're here now!
Hello...did...did you fix the wheel?
Fix what!? You disappeared without telling us anything! Where have you been, speak or face my wrath!!
Uh oh... I have been tricked by Magdalene...she told me...that a wheel was broken and... that you went to Munich to look for a new one...
What?! Are you serious, Heileen?
Y-yes...sorry, was my fault, I shouldn't have believed her...
I'm going to speak with her parents right now!
Otto, please. We have to go now, let's not waste more time...
Bah!! well... all right. We leave in 15 minutes, be ready. Heileen, if you disappear again I'm going to leave you here. Understood?
Yes, uncle...
I don't understand...why Magdalene did that?
I even bought her a silver medallion! I spent 200 gold to make her a gift!
Little Heileen... the reason is clear...
She is very fond of you.
W-what!? are you joking?
No...she really loves you, and she did that only for one reason...she would like you to remain here with her, forever.
B-but...
Don't worry. Time heals all wounds. She'll survive, and marry some local boy. And probably they will have 2 or 3 children.
You want to go to her house, to say her goodbye before we leave for real?
-Yes...I'll be right back, promised!
I run to Magdalene's house and knock the door.
What you want?
I push the door and enter inside her house. She's crying.
I'm sorry, Heileen... I'm so sorry!
I didn't want to lie to you, but... I wanted you to stay!
You know that I can't...
I must go back...but I'll always remember you!
(crying)Why...why you want to come back?
I want to visit the New World.
...really?
Yes...you were right...being able to travel with my uncle is a unique opportunity, and I want to take advantage of it.
I see... well...
I'm sure we will meet again, one day.
She says nothing, but I think I saw a smile behind all those tears. I go out, closing the door behind me.
I don't know why I lied to her, why I told her I wanted to follow my uncle in his next voyage. Maybe because she lied to me first.
One thing is sure... I'll never be so crazy to follow my uncle on a boat sailing for the New World!
END
-No...after what she did, I don't want to see her anymore.
I understand...but please, don't hold a bad memory of her. Even if what she did was wrong, she was moved by the best intentions.
Okay... I will... try to remember only the good things of this trip. The days spent lying on the grass, looking at the beautiful flowers...
Lora comes near me, probably noticing I'm very touched, and says:
Yes, keep the memories you speak of...they seem really worthwhile. Now please, come, we must go.
Before getting into the coach, I turn and look for the last time that small, wonderful, unknown village of Bavaria...
...and from behind a window, I see Magdalene in tears looking at me. She's wearing the silver medallion.
She looks beautiful.
END
Wow thanks :p I hadn't time to do that myself, and unfortunately with my current "engine" (is a big word since I built up everything visually) I can't dump the texts like with renpy!
Well this weekend can be good for me! thanks again!
I wonder where Magdalene went...?
She was here just a few minutes ago, but now I can't find her anywhere!
Ah, here she is!
I've got a surprise for you!
Oh... what is it?
A beautiful flower for my new friend!
She hands me a wonderful alpine flower that she must have picked somewhere nearby.
-Oh, thank you so much Magdalene!
Instinctively, I run to Magdalene and embrace her tightly. She says nothing but I can feel her emotions.
I'm so happy to have met you, Heileen. Nobody ever comes to this small Bavarian village.
Yes, my uncle Otto had a good idea for once.
Oh look, he's coming our way!
Otto doesn't like Magdalene. He sees her only as an ignorant farmer, a useless friend I made on this short trip.
-Why did you do that!? That was a rare flower!
Did you really have to do that for me?
Oh... I'm sorry, I thought...
I don't want you to kill another lifeform, especially a rare one like this, just to give me a present!
Okay... I understand... but I wanted only to... oh no, your uncle Otto is here!
Girls! What are you doing there?
Otto, my uncle. He's a prominent English merchant, born in Prussia.
He's been a traveller throughout his entire life. Today is my 16th birthday, and he decided to bring me here, to Bavaria.
We have a visitor.
Oh no, please! Don't tell me that you're referring to... to THAT woman!
Please, Heileen, show a bit of respect for my... friend.
Yeah, sure! She's only your... "friend"! Nothing more...
Insolent girl! You should show more respect! Don't forget that I am the man who has taken care of you ever since you lost your parents!
Several years have passed... but every time I think about it, I start crying. I can't do anything about it.
Stop crying! Lora is coming.
No! I want her to see you made me cry!
I said stop! You can't always do what you want!
-Okay, I will stop crying... but I don't want to talk with her.
Damn, it's too late; she's already here.
Hello darlings! It's a pleasure to see you again, Heileen! You get more beautiful every day!
Ehm, thank you, Lora.
Are you having fun here?
Yes, it's a really wonderful place!
Yes yes... a bit too cold for my tastes, though!
Well of course you feel cold, if you go around half naked...
(Laughing) Haha Heileen, you're so funny!
Well, there's nothing I can do... I try every time I see her, but I just can't make her angry!
Otto, let's go inside, I need to... talk with you.
Yes, I'm coming. You, Heileen, try not to get into any trouble while we're away, okay?
Of course... he's so eager to go inside to... "talk"!
(Hugging me) See you later, sweetie!
S-see you...
Why does she feel the need to have physical contact with everyone around her!?
That Lora... she's so nice to you!
Yes... but I still can't stand her!
But why? She really loves you! I should be jealous of her...
Oh Magdalene, please! Stop it!
Okay, okay, relax! Why don't we go inside? It's starting to get cold.
Yes, good idea. Also, I'm hungry! I want to try some of the local food.
-Bouahhh! Uncle Otto is really a bad man!
She's coming nearer... even if I can't stand her, Otto will learn to be more polite to me.
Hello darlings! Oh! But... why are you crying, Heileen?
Otto... sigh... he says that... that I'm only a burden...
Otto! I can't believe you said that to the poor little one!
Did she just call me 'little one'? Damn, I want to hit her!
Heileen, don't listen to him! You're a wonderful little creature! You know that I love you.
I guess she always has to use the words 'little' and 'love' when she talks to me...
Thanks Lora... I really appreciate that.
Obviously this isn't true, but I need to have her as an ally against Otto.
You're welcome, sweetie!
So... we're free to go around as we like, right? I mean, my friend Magdalene and I?
Of course! This is a trip for your birthday! I want... I mean, WE want you to be happy. Do what you want, have fun!
But Lora, they're too young to...
Shut up! Ehm, I mean, Otto, leave them be, they'll be fine. This isn't a dangerous place. There aren't many men around...

Maybe this time I'll make her angry... Lora glares at me, but then she smiles again and says:

Okay... so Magdalene, you want to come with me?
Sure! Where?
(Whispering) Anywhere, as long as we're away from those two!
Oh, I understand now! Well, why we don't go inside? It's almost dinner time.
Yes, good idea! I'm starting to feel hungry.
We enter the dining hall... there's a lot of tasteful food here!
We sit down in a corner. I don't like being the centre of attention; Magdalene, Lora and I are the only women in the room!
Heileen, look over there!
She gestures towards Lora.
As always, her "tales," as she likes to refer to them, captivate the audience.
Well... I know that you hate her, but I think she's the perfect partner for Otto.
Really? And why you think so?

Yes, don't worry. It isn't your fault. It isn't my fault either.
We can go back to the dining hall if you pref-
Leave! ...No really, I shouldn't be screaming, but... leave me now. Please.
I look at her sad face. I probably hurt her somehow... or maybe she realized that we're quite different people...
Tomorrow, I have to leave at 5am...
Say goodbye and good luck to Otto and Lora on my behalf then.

I've only known her for a week, but she was special... no, she IS special...
...and... zzzZZZZ
Heileen! Wake up!
Don't be so abrupt with her! She's sleeping!
Okay then, you wake her up! We have to go in less than 2 hours!
Hey, darling? Come on, wake up please...
L-lora? What happened?
We need to leave in about 2 hours. Come on, get up now.
Lora... I don't want to leave! This place is so beautiful...
(Laughing) Don't be silly, Heileen! You don't want to live here, believe me. It's a beautiful place, but... anyway, you're still too young to decide for yourself! Hurry up, we'll wait outside.
I slowly start to get dressed, but I can't stop crying... I keep thinking about this place...
After about 30 minutes I go outside, but there's nobody waiting. Where are they?
Heileen!
Magdalene! What happened? You seem worried!
Your carriage is broken! One of the wheels is greatly damaged.
What...? A broken wheel?
Yes... they just found out about it!
She is shocked... or maybe only excited because I...
...I can't leave then...?
Lora and Otto went to Munich, the big town nearby, to look for a replacement...
They didn't tell me anything! Strange...
Yes, they were in such a hurry! We could go there too. It's only two hours away by foot.
-Two hours!? I'm not used to walking for so long!
Heileen! Move! We're late!
Otto? Suddenly, Magdalene runs away to her house in tears.
Did you hear me?
Y-yes, yes! Don't be so impatient! I'm coming now!
I enter the coach, and start my journey back home. However, I can't stop thinking about what happened.
Why did Magdalene lie to me? It... was it a desperate last attempt to keep me here?
And what were her real feelings for me?

Hello... did... did you fix the wheel?
What wheel? You disappeared without telling us anything! Where have you been!? Speak or face my wrath!!
Uh oh... I was tricked by Magdalene! She told me that a wheel was broken, and... that you went to Munich to look for a new one...
What!? Are you serious, Heileen?
Y-yes... sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn't have believed her...
I'm going to speak with her parents right now!
Otto, please. We have to go now, let's not waste any more time...
Bah!! Well... all right. We're leaving in 15 minutes, so get ready. Heileen, if you disappear again I'm going to leave you here. Understood?
Yes, uncle...
I don't understand... why did Magdalene do that?
I even bought her a silver medallion! I spent 200 gold to give her a gift!
Little Heileen... the reason is clear...
She is very fond of you.
W-what!? Are you joking?
No... she really loves you, and she did that for only one reason... she would like you to remain here with her, forever.
B-but...
Don't worry. Time heals all wounds. She'll survive, marry some local boy, and probably end up having 3 or 4 children.
Do you want to go to her house, to say goodbye before we leave for real?
-Yes... I'll be right back, promise!
I run to Magdalene's house and knock on the door.
What do you want?
I push the door open and step inside her house. She's crying.
I'm sorry, Heileen... I'm so sorry!
I didn't want to lie to you, but... I wanted you to stay!
You know that I can't...
I must go back... but I'll always remember you!
(Crying) Why...why do you have to leave?
I want to visit the New World.
...Really?
Yes... you were right... being able to travel with my uncle is a unique opportunity, and I want to take advantage of it.
I see... well...
I'm sure we will meet again, some day.
She says nothing, but I think I saw a smile behind all those tears. I go out, closing the door behind me.
I don't know why I lied to her, why I told her I wanted to follow my uncle on his next voyage. Maybe because she lied to me first.
One thing is sure... I'll never be crazy enough to follow my uncle on a boat sailing for the New World!
END
-No... after what she did, I don't want to see her any more.
I understand... but please, don't leave with a bad memory of her. Even if what she did was wrong, she was moved by the best intentions.
Okay... I will... try to remember only the good things of this trip. The days spent lying on the grass, looking at the beautiful flowers...
Lora comes close to me, probably noticing I'm very touched, and says:
Yes, keep the memories you speak of... they seem really worthwhile. Now please come, we must go.
Before getting into the coach, I turn and look for the last time that small, wonderful, unknown village of Bavaria...
...and from behind a window, I see Magdalene in tears looking at me. She's wearing the silver medallion.
She looks beautiful.

Well, I've gone through it once and made changes. There might be a few parts that still need work. Also, it's hard to know whether to change incorrect grammar that a character has said, sometimes; it might be part of their character that they're not too good with grammar, you know? I've generally changed places like this anyway (e.g. changing "me, Magdalene and Lora are..." to "Madgdalene, Lora and I are...") but you can always change it back. Also, the use of "" and '' might not be totally consistent throughout, I don't know which you want to use.
