Couple of thoughts - QuestJS & webplayer

ShadeCorp
Greetings,
I have to say Quest is a VERY nice tool for creating old-school style adventures - props for that - however couple of things have arisen from my experimenting with it.

As a starter, I usually create gamebooks, not full-blown adventure games for several reasons unrelated to Quest, however

QuestJS in it's current form seem to create bit buggy output - just yesterday I tried to convert very simple gamebook to html, every page having just links forwards, backwards and return to start, and now when I try outputted file in my own webspace, first page shows properly up, but then the link that should point to next page doesn't work at all - seems to me href is missing totally - or am I missing something here?

Webplayer, that would be exellent to have around - alas, it's ASP :-/ Not most suitable for other environments beside Windows. I wonder how much work would it take to create PHP webplayer for Quest? Anyways I'm going to take closer look at this as soon as I can get some free time from other projects.

Keep up Alex, you're doing exellent work.

Thanks!

Could you log an issue on GitHub for the game that doesn't work?

A PHP WebPlayer is a nice idea - I think you will need quite a lot of free time to get it working properly though. That said I'm happy to answer any questions if you want to give it a go!

The game is my own, I have not loaded it to any place - and since it's not published .. oh well, perhaps I'll debug the problem first and if I can't resolve it I'll post more details :)

By what I looked at, on webplayer, it's not that difficult to rewrite in php, but like you said, takes quite some time but then again... decisions, decisions *LOL*
