Adventure Creator original thread

[tlaero]

I just uploaded AC6.0 also known as "The BEW edition." (-:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/six8f ... reator.zip

For the most part, the changes are there to support the development of Wolf's game. I don't expect many people to make use of all the new div sections and hooks, but they're there if you want them. The one feature that is universal is you can now filter GameView to show only pages with broken links.

You need to update the exe, the template, and _functions.js. The files it creates are incompatible with AC5, so you need to do some conversion before you work with it. There's a "Converting to AdventureCreator 6" document in the distribution that explains what you need to do, but briefly:
0) Make a backup of your game, just in case.
1) Replace your AdventureCreator.exe and AdventureCreator_template.txt with the new ones.
2) Replace your _functions.js with the one in the examples.
3) Open your _styles.css and find the line that looks like this:
.center
change it to
#center, #says
4) Open your game in AC6 and pull down File->Update All.

Hey Tlaero,

It looks like the new link for 6.0 may actually be pointing to 5.7. I tried both the 5.7 and 6.0 links, and they both gave me version 5.7.

Oops, when I uploaded to MediaFire, I accidentally said, "Keep Both" instead of "Replace." So there was an AdventureCreator(2).zip there. It should be fixed now.

Confirmed, and working great! I love the broken links feature!

Thanks again Tlaero!

I just uploaded 6.1. http://www.mediafire.com/download/six8f ... reator.zip

I fixed a bad bug where using the subfolder functionality from 5.6 didn't work on unix.

I also added the ability to add [[bracket]] code to hit targets. This requires that you update to the new _functions.js and requires a change in the functions you call in [[]]. Toptext and says need to document.write where hit targets need to return the string. See the "Name()" function in the example's _game.js for an example of how to do this.

Hi Tlaero,
I'm trying to create a game with your Adventure Creator v6.1. It's really a good and easy way to create it.
While checking the functions in _functions.js, I think i found a bug.
The function varPlusIf0 works same like varPlus1If0, cause the variable (amount) is missing.

I think it have to be changed like this (in red the changes i suggest):

function varPlusIf0(name, checkName, amount)
{
if (typeof (amount) == "undefined")
{
amount = 1;
}
var val = readVar(name);
var check = readVar(checkName);
if (check == 0)
{
val += amount;
setVar(name, val);
}
}

That does look like a bug, BlueJoe. Thanks for reporting it. I'll fix it in the next drop.

I'm glad AC is working for you. I'm looking forward to your game.

Hi Tlaero,
I'm testing my game and with Firefox it's working well, but with Internet Explorer the "Map Area" and the variables settings (add and sub) don't work.
I thought, maybe JavaScript isn't enabled, but it is. I tried too an older version of AC, and it works fine with IE.
Maybe some bug in function AddArea?

I try to debug the source and now it give me runtime error in line 1001 of _functions.js, that's this line:
sheet.innerHTML = "." + areaID + " { " + style + " }; ";

What version of IE?

[BlueJoe]

What version of IE?

thanks for the hint. I had IE 10, I just upgrade on IE 11 and now it works fine.

How can I declare a string variable to use in a game?

BlueJoe

[tlaero]

He BlueJoe. There's an example of using a string variable in the example folder. Open _game.js and search for "name".

In short, though, you add a variable to gameVars, set it with setVar, and read it with readString.

If that's not clear, let me know and I'll give examples.

Would you need to use <> to display it in the text box?

[tlaero]

Do you mean [[ ]]?

Yes, same as any other variable.
