Error Message: Current BEG time is smaller than previous tier BEG time

[Leonid Spektor]

Allison,

	This error only effects two tiers. There is no need to rebullet the whole file. The error is the result of time information within a bullets violating normal time progression. Following example will demonstrate the problem:

*FAT:	and what are you asking for ? •0_2312•
*ROS:	alert [!] alert ! •2312_3715•
*FAT:	alert means like it's time for a fire alert . •2310_6937•

The last *FAT tier has BEG time within it's bullet set to 2310 msecs, but the previous *ROS tier has BEG time set to 2312 msecs which is 2 msecs later than *FAT tier's 2310 msecs. This means that either those two speakers should be placed in different order like this:

*FAT:	and what are you asking for ? •0_2312•
*FAT:	alert means like it's time for a fire alert . •2310_6937•
*ROS:	alert [!] alert ! •2312_3715•

or the time BEG value of either speaker's bullets adjusted slightly to make sure that it complies with normal time flow, like this:

*FAT:	and what are you asking for ? •0_2312•
*ROS:	alert [!] alert ! •2312_3715•
*FAT:	alert means like it's time for a fire alert . •2312_6937•

You can open data file that has this error with CLAN, then locate the tier that causes the error and select menu "Mode->Expand bullets" or press ESC-a keys. This will display the time values within bullets and it will let you edit them by hand. 


Leonid.

We were not sure if this would require them to rebullet the entire file or if there was an easier way to fix this.  Any help is appreciated!
