So I just started out today with choice script. I’m on a crappy windows 7 laptop. Im trying to get the default story from the text file to copy over to the game server. It’s not there and the directions confused me. Any help would be appreciated

Did you press the arrow at the top of the screen?
I looked and I don’t see an arrow. What arrow did you mean?
Arrow? I don’t think so. That must be the source of confusion. The instructions said nothing about an arrow
Hello, welcome to the forum!
You should be able to see the default/practice story in the web/mygame/ folder in your downloaded and extracted ChoiceScript folder. But I’m not sure what you’re asking exactly, have you followed these instructions and if so, where are you in the process?

like are you saying, you can’t get the copy over the text file into the “program box” or you can’t get it to show on the screen to “play/test” it?
That was the arrow I was referring to btw, because I didn’t really understand what you were asking.
That’s from CSIDE they may not be using it.

Yeah I’m just using a text editor on windows 7. Once I get enough money I’ll try to upgrade but until then I have to use this old junker
I figured out what i was doing wrong haha. I was looking at the window that opens when you run the server file. I was supposed to open the index file to upload my story bits to it. I figures it out with the starting story and such. I was just able to create the first chapter of my first choice script story. Thanks for welcoming me to the forum!!! Also FYI my story is a zombie apocolypse story. I plan to do many more if after i release it it does well. We shall see. Its just a hobby for now though.

Glad it’s working for you, and good luck with your story!
I would recommend downloading CSIDE if you can (it’s free!) and allows you to write, play and test your game all in the same program. I find it very useful. There is also VS code which is similar or if it gets too complicated you can download notepad+ (another free app) which is what I used before CSIDE although that is just a text app so you will still need to run tests separately
