[v20140007] Orphaned Pages Disclaimer

17 years ago

I've noticed that when trying to publish, the code thinks many pages are orphaned, that really aren't. I know what the reason is, though. It's because the only way to get to the pages is from scripts, which work perfectly. This probably wasn't implemented since scripting isn't really finished, but I thought I'd give you a heads up.

Noted, and same thing with item only rechable pages.

We cannot fix this. Meaning, it is not possible to know what pages are programmatically assigned until after all of the scripts have run by the player.

So, instead, we should perhaps add some text on the Publish Warning page? Can you think up some text -- it would be displayed only for advanced games -- saying that you "May" have orphaned pages?

Make sense?

Sure: Just put directly under the red "Orphaned."

"Note: Pages reached only by scripting will always show up in this list, whether or not they are orphaned."

That may get right to the heart of the matter by being direct.
