Have implemented a bunch of changes for adventure writers, mostly directed at xml conversion please check the forum Development News for full list of changes.  And I apologise for any hiccups that may have been experienced today and recently generally using the system – I haven’t implemented a testbed yet so any mistakes I make are generally ‘live’.  Let me know if there are any errors/discrepancies you are encountering that I don’t know about.

Making a major change to the system.  Hopefully you wont see any problems but it’s very likely you will.  Fingers crossed.

Gamebooks back online

Gamebooks will be offline for a short while while I attempt some changes to the filesystem.

Well I’ve finally made a stab at actually documenting the Hosted SEL libraries, hopefully it is now a bit clearer how to go about doing some of the complex stuff involved in gamebook making here.  Any suggestions for other documentation let me know (I do hope to do an ‘Idiots Guide’ at some point for the basic stuff).

The PaperDoll Library while technically documented still needs a general usage guide as it’s not self-evident how to use it.

Some browsers may have had trouble with Username/SID not matching errors when trying to use the play area after logging in here.  Hopefuly this has been resolved (my phone browser kept complaining anyway and I’ve sorted it)

Never noticed a small typo in the link to create a new account. Duh. Fixed

Using the Login on the Forum or the CMS will log you in everywhere on the site. I hope. Works for my accounts. If you have problems let me know.

Edit: I have already encountered a glitch in the single user access to the Gamebook area, but have been unable to recreate it. If you get an ‘incorrect SID/UserName’ error on a whitepage please let me know what you did if you can remember.

I claimed the password/login from the play area would work in the CMS/Forum.

Well… they would have done if I’d remembered to strip the trailing newline character :embarrassed:

They do now.  Sorry about that.

New users may now create new accounts with the play area again.  Any new accounts will also be automatically added to the CMS and New Forums databse.  No signing up 3 times for one site around here 🙂

(Mind you please note that at this time if you have lost your password and use the retrieve password facility of the CMS/Forum the play area password will NOT be updated, contact me)
