Hello! I'm currently working with SugarCube 1.0.34, and I'm currently attempting to create a Homestuck-esque walkaround in the style of
Openbound. I'm aware that it's very hard to create the actual walk-around bit with the characters moving from one room to the next, etc, but the part of it that I'm more interested is the part where the characters talk to each other. I've created/found most of the assets that I need to put this together (backgrounds, the grey text boxes, character sprites, etc) but I'm having trouble inserting the (image) text boxes into the Twine, finding a way to insert text over the top of said images in the style of Openbound, as well as getting the character sprites to hover to the side of them.
Also, is there a way to make music play continuously during the length of the entire story?
Comments
The only thing I couldn't figure out was how to make the music loop continuously in the background through every page of the Twine. Or even how to get the music playing at all, really. Help would be much appreciated!
Are you using SugarCube's audio macros and, if so, how are you playing the BGM? Is your BGM a single track or multiple?
Yeah, I've put a heck of a lot of work into this thing already and I don't feel like modifying what I've got already/learning a whole new system to program, and I'm completely unable to download new stuff onto my computer anyway, so that's out. :P sorry for the trouble
I've tried using the <<audio>> macro that's mentioned here, with no success. I have the mp3 file (just a single audio file) saved online, and I tried linking to it in a variety of different ways, without success. It's never started playing
<<cacheaudio "mk_theme" "https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5QfFtHaVNfSODFVWWpOMmJtUlk/view?usp=sharing">>
Then, I placed <<audio "mk_theme" play>> in the opening passage, but it keeps coming up with 'Error: <<audio>>: no track by ID: mk_theme'. Should I be putting the cacheaudio code somewhere different?
Your options here are somewhat limited by the second issue.
How would I go about using a query/hash string?
(sorry for being such a pain)
The URL you're using opens Google Drive's web view UI for the file. It is not a valid download URL. You want something like the following:
PS: The Google Drive Direct Link Generator site can help you turn sharing URLs into download URLs, if that's not something you're comfortable doing yourself.
