It happened again today, and when it did, I noticed that it happened while CSIDE was checking for updates. Hope that helps!
v1.3.5 Hot Fix Available for “local issuer certificate” issue
I’ve just published v1.3.5 with what I hope is a fix for the “local issuer certificate”. Unfortunately, because it’s an issue with auto-update this will need to patched manually.
You can download the patch at
https://choicescriptide.github.io/downloads/updates/targets/135.zip
Note: do not unzip this file!
MacOS Instructions
Rename the zip file to app.nw (be careful you don’t rename it to app.zip.nw).
Find the ChoiceScript IDE application, right-click it and select “Show Package Contents”.
Navigate through the subsequent folder structure to: /Applications/ChoiceScript\ IDE.app/Contents/Resources/ and replace the app.nw in there with the zip file you just renamed.
Windows Instructions
Rename the zip file to package.nw (be careful you don’t rename it to package.zip.nw).
Find the ChoiceScript IDE installation (likely C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\ChoiceScript IDE) and replace the package.nw there with the zip file you just renamed.
If anyone could let me know if this solves the problem that would be great. I’ll post another update if I find an easier way to work around this.
EDIT: Corrected the link.
Hi, thanks for the speedy work! ![]()
I can confirm that this has resolved it for me.
You’ve either not named the file correctly (on Windows, click View on the top menu of explorer, select Show, and check File name extensions), or you haven’t put it in the right location. It should sit next to the ChoiceScript IDE executable.
Thank you, that did the trick! I had file extensions hidden.
Woops, sorry, I fixed, broke and have now fixed again.
I recently downloaded CSIDE onto my desktop and also keep getting this error
Wow, lookit this thread almost 10 years old!
Looking into CSIDE and CS in general again. I am using Mac and I’m getting the “Apple could not verify “ChoiceScript IDE” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.” and I assume I need to replace the app.nw replacement but it doesn’t seem to be working. Unsure if it’s an issue where it might not be letting me change the extension because on rename it still has the zip icon?
I looked at the web browser version and that’s cool, but it doesn’t have any way to export an HTML - understand it’s not supported. I know I should RTFM but can someone point me to what I need to read/understand regarding how does one extract a game from the web IDE?
EDIT: I think that’s it, it was hiding the .zip extension, but still wrangling with it.
EDIT AGAIN: I think I finally got it - I did the app.nw replacement (had to command-INFO to remove the .zip since it was hidden) and it still wouldn’t open, but I was able to go into security settings and apparently - for an hour - there’s an “open this anyway” override button for that specific file I had to click. It’s not in the image below since I did it already, but that’s what finally let it open. It was an extra line under the “Allow applications from - App Store” box.
This morning I experienced a small but interesting error with CSIDE, or at least I think I have.
Basically, while on COGdemos italicized wording was showing up that way with only one marker at the start of the section and a terminator at the end, CSIDE seemed to want the same marker and terminator for each line to get the same italicized effect. Could be some level of confusion on my part, as I’m more rust than metal when it comes to my markup language skills, but figured I’d flag it in case this really is a problem.
Hey, sorry about that. Yes, this is Apple basically saying because I’ve not paid to publish CSIDE on the app store, it might be bad! You’ll experience this with most apps downloaded from the internet for Mac these days. You seem to have figured out how to get around it, though?
@Zodac01 That’s interesting. It might be a difference in ChoiceScript version (maybe CSIDE is behind a little?), although I can’t be sure off the top of my head and won’t have access to cross check for a couple of weeks now due to holidays and work commitments.
The italics-difference might also be browser-dependant? Weirder things have been.
For sure, no big rush or anything to look at it. This one’s pretty minor and easy to work around, regardless.
Good point. That very well might be the case.
hello.
the author name does not show up when the script is run. (this is built from your git clone with the 135 zip).
however, works fine in web version.
what am i doing wrong? firsttimer. sorry for the trouble.The title does hide if you’re screen is too narrow. It could also potentially be a bug.
Most likely the latter if the web version is fine on the same computer?
it is.
currently I am getting this error, and I can’t find the 1.35 version to update. (the link above isn’t working for me)
I fixed the link but Havenstone’s quote still quoted the broken one. I’ve fixed that now, so the 135 link should work and solve your issue.
