Passages not displaying properly

MattFinch

I'm making a new adventure and suddenly certain passages are reverting to previous drafts, and I can't see why.

I have a passage that reads like this:



and in previous drafts it was working fine, but now when I test it, or publish it to HTML, it reverts to a previous draft which looks like this, where I'd used text instead of an image:



(The game is set in a library and I've been putting in images from the books you encounter).

Any thoughts where I've gone wrong?

This is properly bonkers. It works ok if I test it from the passage itself, but if I play through the game it reverts to the old one. Something to do with my browser cache? (I'm doing this in Chrome).

Have you published the game to play it from the compiled HTML file?

@MattFinch: which operating system (brand, version) are you running Chrome (version) on?

Claretta

Try running Twine in another browser and import your published html file into Twine from that browser.

Opera is very similar to Chrome.

Hello all --

Yes @timsanoff I had the same problem with the compiled HTML file as with the test.

@greyelf I'm running OS.X Yosemite 10.10.2

@claretta - I switched over to Safari and this seemed to solve my problems, but now when I publish the file I get this....



How do I turn that back into an HTML file I can save and use...?

Thanks for your kindness and support in my ignorance

What you are looking at is the HTML of your story, try using the web-browser File > Save As menu option to save that HTML into a file.

@greyelf - Cheers, I thought as much. Weirdly when I "saved as" from Safari, Safari wouldn't then reload it -- but Chrome would load the "saved as" file.

I am a bit bemused but this seems to have done the job.

Thank you *very* much.
