I got distracted, so it was down for several hours more than necessary -- sorry. Back up now, anyhow.

Finally trying my hand at writing once again. I've a new Age in the works, Hahzahprad Island. To begin with, it'll be eye-candy, but I'll work in puzzles soon enough. I'll also look into producing a procedurally generated environment, though I feel someone may have to show me how to do this. Elahto will have to wait for a while.

@Belford: It may not hurt to 'reannounce' Seltani to the internet. I'm under the impression that there's very little traffic now.

With reference to this journal design, how do I put line breaks in the text?

parabreak() in code, or [$para] in text. There is no line-break other than a paragraph break.

I tried that, but it either breaks the interpolation, or it just passes straight through to the output. Note that this is the text inside the list, in the value property.

Okay... I'm not logged in so I don't know if this will be right...

The contents of journal_data are displayed with the interpolation

Code: Select all
[$em][[(journal_data)[min(player.journal_page, len(journal_data))-1] ]][$/em]


This treats them as simple strings, which is what they natively are. Try changing that line to:

Code: Select all
[$em][[text((journal_data)[min(player.journal_page, len(journal_data))-1]) ]][$/em]


Then square brackets in the journal will be treated as markup code rather than taken literally.

It works now! Thanks Belford. I'll also go update that sample code.

I've been away for way too long -- I logged in and there were a bunch of new Ages!

'Tis true. Ryan Veeder even ran a few tours of Bluedorn over the holidays, which was fun.

I'm sorry I missed that.

Is there an announcement channel, or otherwise a way to know when people are/will be on, besides staying logged in in a background tab all day?
