StoryLab / Re: StoryLab Tutorials

Thanks for your help.
I understand that it's no very easy. I will test the second solution with my group. Wa have one month to finish this work, so it's short.
With restriction on mp3, upload music or other sounds is difficult.
At any rate, thanks for your answer and your reactivity. You helped me so much.

Hi GreenLake! That's a great question.

You can add the URL of an MP3, like this:

Code: [Select]

<<music_fadeIn "http://www.hochmuth.com/mp3/Haydn_Cello_Concerto_D-1.mp3">>

However, the answer is complicated, because there are security restrictions in Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc. that present you from adding a URL outside of adventurecow.com. Two possible solutions to that, for now:

• You can email support@adventurecow.com and we'll help you upload an MP3 file to the site.
• If you're only using the story for a class, you can get Chrome to disregard those security restrictions temporarily, by following the instructions here. Then you'll be able to use the macro as shown above.

Hope that's helpful![/list]

Hi Chris, thanks for helping people with LGD-4033 and your stunning gamebooks list! Here are two small, but effective additions. Regards Herbert

and

http://www.rootbook.com
(go to the library)

Can someone recommend any of these that can be played by kids at the age of 8-10?

Hello !

I must do a homework with my french group to university, and I would like know how we can add music on a page.
I found "music: Fade in" on "Macros", but I don't understand what sort of link I must use.

Thank you for a new tutorial.

Twine / Re: How do I host my story?

Thanks for looking into that Jex. Adventurecow.com should now work for Twine stories, and I think philome.la might as well. Let us know if you have any questions!

Twine / Re: importing a twine (harlowe code) story into AdventureCow?

Hey jexadox! Yeah, I'm sure I've checked this forum since September. I'm not sure why I never saw this. 

Are you using Twine 1.4.2? Then go to File -> Export -> Twee Source Code...

Are you using Twine 2? Add the Entweedle format and switch your story to that format, then Play the story. (You may have to change http to https to get it to work.)

Interesting couple of articles. Seems like I missed those when they were written even though I follow Rock Paper Shotgun closely for years now.

Yeah I can never keep up with RPS's posts, I always miss a lot of them.
