Okay, could you screenshot your folder for your game?

using my own stuff as example (i think I might have a slight older version of CS though)

‘web’ should then have a folder named ‘mygame’ with ‘scenes’

Yes I did that that’s where I renamed the txt one I believe I followed that path and renamed my file to ${gameDir} it won’t let me post pictures

Ah, yeah, you can’t post pictures till you reach a higher rank on the forum, should be rather quick if you engage with posts regularly, though.

Just to make sure, which files did you rename?

This issue occurred to me also. The current github link for choicescript is broken (I made a post about this and they never fixed it ig).

  1. Go to serve.js in the choicescript-main folder

Replace this part of the code:

const requestHandler = (request, response) => {
  //console.log(request.url);
  const requestUrl = new URL(request.url, base);
  const requestPath = requestUrl.pathname;
  let requestFile = path.normalize(`${dir}/${requestPath}`);
  if (!requestFile.startsWith(dir)) {
    response.statusCode = 400;
    response.end();
    return;
  } else if (requestFile.endsWith(path.sep)) {
    requestFile += 'index.html';
  } else if (requestFile.endsWith('mygame.js')) {
    const gameDir = path.basename(path.dirname(requestFile));
    const mygame = child_process.execSync('node mygamegenerator.js ${gameDir}', {encoding: 'utf8'});
    fs.writeFileSync(`${dir}/web/${gameDir}/mygame.js`, mygame, 'utf8');
  }

With this:

const requestHandler = (request, response) => {
  //console.log(request.url);
  const requestUrl = new URL(request.url, base);
  const requestPath = requestUrl.pathname;
  let requestFile = path.normalize(`${dir}/${requestPath}`);
  if (!requestFile.startsWith(dir)) {
    response.statusCode = 400;
    response.end();
    return;
  } else if (requestFile.endsWith(path.sep)) {
    requestFile += 'index.html';
  }

Or just delete the 2nd else if statement.

If anyone knows the people that run the github… Please tell them to see this or else the forum is going to keep getting these posts.

you ought to send a mail to support.

Also I am not 100% certain if the erroneous code hasn’t something to do with the new app

Thank you I’ll try this when I get home
