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

« Last post by jexadox on September 22, 2017, 12:48:58 AM »

I have a already written twine story that (mostly) functions. I like to upload it and test how that works and stuff. but i can't figure out how to put it online. it says it has to be a .tw or .txt file... twine only exports in .html files. even the files that are used in the program itself are .html

it looks like you can download a story format for Adventure Cow, but i am NOT rewriting all my code just to put it online.

am i missing something???

Twine / Re: Twine hack: inventory

« Last post by Chris on July 15, 2017, 01:52:21 PM »

Is there a way to add more than one item to $carrying?

Is there a way to remove an item, but not all items, from $carrying?

Is there a way to see if one item out of several is in $carrying?

Maybe this? I haven't tested it.

Code: [Select]

<<set $carrying={'potions':0}>>
(all numbered items must be counted)

<<set $carrying['potions'] += 1>>
(This is code for "I picked up 1 potion.")
<<set $carrying['potions'] -= 1>>
(This is code for "I dropped 1 potion.")

<<if $carrying['potions']>>
You are carrying at least 1 potion.
<<endif>>

Hello! These have been fixed now. (Unfortunately, I posted the forum thread reply at the same time that our webhost upgraded their server, so now everything I said the last time disappeared.)

I'm here! I've been investigating all of these and I noticed something interesting the "Brain Drain" bug:

Brain drain (mo): You may spend magic to increase your damage score. For each magic point you spend, you may increase your damage score by 1. You can spend up to a maximum of 5 magic points (increasing your damage score by 5). Your magic is restored at the end of the combat. You can only use this ability once per combat.

I think I misread this, because a buff that increased damage for one round only, at the cost of a combat-long reduction to magic, seemed weak to me. I suppose this would only make sense as a brawn user, because at least in that case you wouldn't lose damage forever to get damage once!

Thanks Alziel!

I really appreciate your patience with all of this. I'm looking forward to being able to fix these.  All this annoying business stuff in the way.

Thanks for replying Chris - and again, I just wanted to say that you've done a fantastic job!

At the risk of burying you even deeper, I have just confirmed an error in the printed edition of LoS which has also made its way into the DQI game.

The 'Shield Wall' ability that the Cavalier has should have an effect that only lasts for one round - but this is not stated in the ability description and so remains in effect throughout the entire combat which makes the Cavalier class ridiculously OP. Michael Ward himself confirmed that this is an oversight and an error over on the DQ forums, so you might want to modify that as well when you get a chance.

The discussion thread where Michael confirms the error is here: http://www.destiny-quest.com/forums/here-be-spoilers/show/3125#post3125

Cheers!
