textadventures / squiffy-editor Goto Github PK

Recently, I found that I couldn't run the Squiffy editor in any recent version of any flavor of Linux. It worked on Windows 10, but running it on Linux was a bust.

So, after doing some research, I found that we could update Electron from version 1.8.1 to version 4.2.12 to fix this issue. I have tested my fix in all the flavors of Linux except Gentoo and Debian, and it works.

I do not have a Mac, though. So, I'm hoping someone will spend 30 minutes (or less) building the Squiffy editor on a Mac using the source code from my fork on GitHub to see if everything works.

There were two issues.

1. On Windows and Linux, jquery was not being copied into the proper place in the build. I fixed this by editing "gulpfile.js".
2. On Linux, there was a Pango error which said the Harfbuzz version was too old. This was a bug in Electron, and it was fixed in version 4.x.x. So, I updated the Electron version from 1.8.1 to 4.2.12. This works on Windows and on Linux. I edited "gulpfile.js" and "package.json" to update the version of Electron.

I want to create a pull request so this gets updated in the real version of the Squiffy editor, but I want to make sure it doesn't introduce any issues for Mac users before I do it.

Title. The last published version still basically has all the key parts so I was able to download the html of its webpage, but it's nowhere near finished and I can't figure out how to convert the story.js.download file back into squiffy code. It's long enough that I'd lose my mind manually typing it out a second time. What's available in the online editor cuts off in the middle of line 1300-something and won't even compile because it was in the middle of some bit involving lots of parentheses. I feel like I'm going to pass out. Please help.

Edit: Is this place even alive anymore lmao

Ace editor doesn't work well with screen readers, so we should have a normal textarea option.

To make this work with the section and passage dropdown, see this.

Though the squiffy-editor software claims MIT license and open source for free use, embedded in the desktop.html file is a curious copyright statement: Copyright © 2017 Luis Felipe Morales Bendicho

Since license is a critical factor, can this be clarified?

The menu options and the keyboard shortcuts do nothing in OS X El Capitan.

Ace editor doesn't display iPad keyboard automatically (though GitHub seem to have figured out how to do it in Gists). Either need some magic here, or detect iPad and show a text area or CodeMirror instead.

Some weird Ace Editor widget appears when you hit Alt+E, cheerily saying "Looks good!". No idea what that's supposed to be but it shouldn't be there.

As reported on the forums, the Squiffy editor doesn't work with screen readers.

This is entirely a known issue with the Ace editor we're currently using.

Investigate switching to CodeMirror or providing it as an option.

OS: Arch Linux
Squiffy version: 5.1

When attempting to save or load a file, the ascii characters are not rendered, resulting in showing a ton of boxes. I've tested this on various machines, to the same result.

öäü and other UTF-8 chars are not transleted correctly when pressing the build-button. It's working in the web-version but not in windows or osx. the output is something like: öäü

As reported in the forums, a broken settings.json stops Squiffy loading.

Pasting text into editor using keyboard shortcut pastes copied text twice. Pasting using corresponding menu item works as intended.

tested on: Squiffy editor 4.0.0 linux version on linux mint.

e.g. missing section, duplicate section
