order of links bug?

18 years ago

Hi, this is weird. I brought up my story to continue working on it today, and in the Advanced Editor, it looks how it always does, but when I go to play it today, the links are out of order. For example, in character creation, I have some of these links:

  • + - Punch
  • PRE-MADE: Start with an Energy Specialist
  • PRE-MADE: Start with an Armed Combat Specialist
  • PRE-MADE: Start with a 'Jack of All Trades'
  • PRE-MADE: Start with a Ranged Specialist
  • + - Kick
  • + - Palm Thrust
  • + - Grab
  • etc...
  • PRE-MADE: Start with an Unarmed Specialist

It should look like:

  • + - Punch
  • + - Kick
  • + - Palm Thrust
  • + - Grab
  • etc...
  • PRE-MADE: Start with an Unarmed Specialist
  • PRE-MADE: Start with an Energy Specialist
  • PRE-MADE: Start with an Armed Combat Specialist
  • PRE-MADE: Start with a 'Jack of All Trades'
  • PRE-MADE: Start with a Ranged Specialist

The list usually shows punch, kick, and all the rest of the skills, at the top for selection, then the Pre-Made links together at the very bottom. That's how it looks in the editor, but now when I play the game, the Pre-Made options are up near the top for some reason, except for one, that is still at the bottom of the page! They out of place one's are not even right at the top, they're sandwiched between the skill options. It looks odd in the game. What's really odd, is like I said - in the editor, the links are all in the right order!!!

AAAARGH!!!

I deleted every link on the page. I recreated every link on the page. I ran saved the game. I ran the game. The links are mixed up again - in exactly the same way as this morning! AAAARGH! Why won't they display properly, like they do in the editor???? And yesterday, they all displayed fine when playing the game... AAARGH!!!

That's crap, man. Seriously, it's never happened to me before. I don't know what could be wrong with it. Must be a job for Alex.

Do you have link scripts running?

I don't have any global link scripts in the story, and there's no scripts on that page.

Well, it's strange, but I'm happy :) I was playtesting my game, then exited, and ran it again, and this time, the links page that has been mucking up... looked how it was supposed to!  I exited out, and ran it again to be sure, and now it's working again! What a strange bug it was.
