Replace/One-Screen Macro Bug?

Ben

I started using Twine 1.4.2 (Mac version) and noticed something a bit screwy with my game. The replace macro stopped working. I tried recreating the conditions under which the macro broke and discovered that using Jonah in conjunction with the one-screen macro caused the macro to break for me. Feel free to test it independently to confirm (it could just be my particular set-up, though I did test it in a couple of browsers to be semi-sure).

Just thought I put this out there just in case anyone ever has said issue.

Officially, the "one-screen" script is no longer supported. Everyone using it is recommended to remove it and use Sugarcane instead with the "Undo" StorySetting switched off. Converting Jonah CSS to Sugarcane was formerly a bit difficult, but certain changes (the "content" element now having the "body" class) have made it easier - just remove the sidebar and maybe change a few margins.

On a more practical note, this is actually indirectly caused by a bug, albeit a minor one, which I shall fix in the next release. So, the above recommendation notwithstanding, it should start working again then. If you really want a quick fix, the one-screen script can be altered thus:


History.prototype.originalDisplay = History.prototype.display;

History.prototype.display = function (title, link, render)
{
if (title && tale.has(title) && (render != 'quietly') && (render != 'offscreen'))
removeChildren($('passages'));

this.originalDisplay.apply(this, arguments);
};

I switched to Sugarcane right after discovering the issue (it took five minutes and a a handful of CSS, as you've suggested) but hopefully anyone else having the issue will at least know that they're not insane. Thanks for taking the time out to reply, L!
