Seltani: Rearranging the gallery

[Pavitra]

gentext.display('test.', True) returns ['Test..'] instead of ['Test.'] I'm not 100% sure this is wrong, but I thought cooked mode was supposed to be smart about double punctuation.

[belford]

Reasonable question.

It's only a little smart. :) It accounts for punctuation and capital letters that are generated through its own tokens (STOP, etc). It does *not* check your strings to see if you've included your own punctuation or capitalization.

In realm.instancepane, [[location()==None]] is True, but [[player==None]] is False. If they were both True, I'd infer that instancepane ran in sched-like context, but as it is I have no idea what's going on.

House of Many Things is released. I plan to expand it on a fixed weekly schedule, to encourage people to tune in.

In realm.instancepane, [[location()==None]] is True, but [[player==None]] is False.

Yeah. My notion was that the instancepane is realm-wide, so it shouldn't execute in a location context.

However, it winds up looking inconsistent, I guess. There's no reason for location() to be different from location(player). I'll poke at that.

(Congrats on Age release!)

If you've been having trouble connecting to Seltani because of a web proxy, you can now try this alternate address: https://seltani.net/ . The HTTPS protocol should bypass proxies.

The SSL certificate causes Firefox to cough up a warning about "unknown issuer". I'm using a free cert service, and I guess Firefox isn't entirely happy about that. It works if you accept the cert (add an exception about it in the warning dialog). Chrome and Safari don't complain.

Personally I feel that code should generally execute with as much context as possible. (There was some talk a while back about scheduled code inheriting the context it was scheduled from, for example.)

I poked at it, but unfortunately I ran into hidden assumptions in my code. If I make this change right now, it will cause more bugs than it fixes.

I will try to untangle this eventually.

The "global-always" and "personal-always" labels are now in place. (I'm trying to emphasize that these are, from a new player's point of view, just like "global" and "personal" but with a bit more information.)

I've also tweaked the build interface: the menu bar on the build pages should now stick on-screen, even when you scroll down.

(Hm. Results on iPad are imperfect. I should have tested that first, oh well.)

[belford]

I've added a notification feature. Look in the preferences pane.

(It's very simple right now.)
