New episode notification
The notification feature causes Addventure to send you email
when a new episode is created from one of the options you provided. To
enable this, you must do two things:
- Check the box on the option entry page, indicating you want the email
- Provide an email address in the adjacent box where you will receive
the notice.
This email address is only used to send you email, and is not
otherwise available.
Backlinking
Linking from one of the choices in a episode you are creating to a previous
episode requires three steps:
- The episode you are linking to must have linking enabled
- You must indicate on the scenario entry page how you want to pick
the episode you are linking to
- You must enter the episode(s) you wish to link to as part of the
option entry page
Linking enabled
Those episodes that you may link to from a later room
say Linking Enabled at the bottom
of the page.
To designate that linking to a episode is allowed, select the box labeled
Link to this episode later on the option entry page. This has the
side effect that children of rooms that may be linked to will not have
a built-in link to their parent room.
Requesting backlinking
When creating a new episode, you need to indicate that you would like one
or more of the options to link to a previous episode on the text entry page.
The pull-down menu towards the middle of the document labeled
Create all new episodes may be selected to choose one of the options:
- Create all new episodes (default)
- No backlinking. All new episodes are created.
- Allow links to previous episode - list by title
- Each option in the option entry screen will have a scroll box
next to it with the episodes that may be linked to. This list
of episodes is sorted alphabetically by the title of the episode.
- Allow links to previous episode - list by number
- Each option in the option entry screen will have a scroll box
next to it with the episodes that may be linked to. This list
of episodes is sorted numerically by the episode number.
- Allow links to previous episode - don't list
- Each option in the option entry screen will have a numeric
entry box next to it for you to enter the episode number in.
Selecting backlink episodes
Selecting the episode to backlink to depends on the method you chose to
display them in the previous step:
- If you selected one of the list choices, you can either select one
of the episodes to link to that episode,
or New episode if you wish to link to a room to be created.
- If you selected the entry box, you can either enter the episode
number of a episode that is link enabled, or enter nothing to
link to a new episode.
