Hi, I'm having trouble creating new adventures.. I've defined a txt file with the text from a gamebook, like this (to test it out)..

[1]

text....

<G|2>

[]

[2]

more text...

<e|0>

[]

When I try and run it through checker I get

*** Search for double defined pages:

is defined more than once !

Error found - exiting

all text lines have a maximum of 47 chrs and a carriage return at the end of the line, plain text file done in Windows notepad.

If I run in framer.sh I get a blank box with no text!

Any ideas?

Thanks .

Hi ayster,

I think I found the solution:
When generating an ascii-file in Notepad, it seems that by default Notepad saves the ascii file with CRLF-Returns, while a standard Linux Ascii-file has different line escapes. This ultimatly leeds to problems in my tools.

I usually work under Linux when generating ASCII-files - so I never noticed how notepad might screw up things.

To solve, please install a tool called "dos2unix" (it's usually in the Linux repositories) on you linux box and then use it to transform the line escapes from Windows to Linux-format.

The scripts will then work afterwards :)

Oh, I also noticed, that you need to change your "end"-command to a captial "E":

<e|0> should be <E|0>
