Game Development ChoiceScript Help
1

Forgive me if this is a basic problem but when trying to run my story i get a problem saying that google chrome is blocking choicescript from functioning and saying that choicescript works just fine on chrome but only on a published website like choiceofgames.com. It`s telling me to try using another browser like firefox. How do i move the whole file onto firefox or is it something more simple? I am a bit of a noob with computers in general.

Right click the index and open with firefox. I assume Chrome’s your default browser.

Thank you! It worked but then told me that it couldn`t load the scenes and that the file is probably missing or empty, even though they are ok

It must be a startup problem. Can you copy the contents of startup.txt?

*title The Darkness
*author ElvesForTheWin

*scene_list
arena
magicarena
stealthwoods
diplomats
libary
archerywoods

*create Sword 10
*create Magic 10
*create Stealth 10
*create Persuasion 10
*create Intelligence 10
*create Archery 10

*create Luke 10
*create Morgan 10
*create Kate 10
*create Alyssa 10

Forgive me if those are not the ones you want. It does continue.

You need to put startup below scene_list. On top of all scenes. It must load first before all.
(Can’t do an example rn, on phone).

@N1GHTMAR3’s example
*title The Darkness
*author ElvesForTheWin

*scene_list
startup
arena
magicarena
stealthwoods
diplomats
libary
archerywoods

*create Sword 10
*create Magic 10
*create Stealth 10
*create Persuasion 10
*create Intelligence 10
*create Archery 10

*create Luke 10
*create Morgan 10
*create Kate 10
*create Alyssa 10

Because I renamed the file do I need to replace startup with the new file name?

9

you renamed the file? what do you mean?

10

You have to start with startup.txt. Don’t rename it.

Functionally, I also recommend only using it for startup commands (*scene_list, *create, etc.) then just *finish at the end (so there’s no actual game in the startup scene, since that makes everything a little more nice and tidy.
