I am currently expanding the functionality of the tt tag, as a result the play system will be very unstable for a while as I implement this change. I will reply to this News Article once the system is stable again. Those in the middle of playing an adventure prior to this notice will find that the links do not work, and will have to select ‘Abandon Adventure’ and start again.
New tag, and new tt tag attribute
The ‘rtt’ tag allows you to send a reader back to a previous reference. The ‘thumbprint’ attribute for the ‘tt’ tag allows you to designate where a ‘rtt’ tag will send a reader instead of a previous reference.
Beggars of Blacksand Coded
The adventure ‘Beggars of Blacksand’ has been coded up and is ready to play as an interactive adventure (there is still the ‘Turn To’ only adventure for those that wish to keep their own records). Enjoy…
New tt tag attributes
The tt tag and the tti tag now have a ‘script’ attribute so you may execute script (SEL) as well as perform a turn to action. There is also an ‘enforce’ attribute for tt that acts as the bookend enforce attribute does. Reference updated.
Unicode sorted
The UTF 8 Charset characters are now accepted in the editors correctly. There may still be many instances in existing hosted adventures of botched characters though. And don’t even mention the proprietary Microsoft smartquotes to me (though they should be handled too, just… grrrr)
Floating Point error…
I have fixed a fundamental problem with the SEL interpreter which somehow escaped my notice until now, that being that floating point numbers were not handled in most cases! How this escaped my attention is beyond me, however it is fixed now. There may still be issues regarding this that I am unaware of, please let me know if you discover them.
New Tag
The <tti> tag now allows you to give readers a box to choose where to turn to next. See the ABML reference for details.
