Super Videotome

Are there any updates to this engine? I noticed you had made yet another successor to this engine so i'm not sure if i could be worth start trying out Videtome Heartbreak instead

Hi! I have a very stupid question! Reading your History of Videotome post, am I correct in assuming that there's no way to simulate the more PC-98 look/layout of Videotome:ADV in Super Videotome, correct? There's a few features in Super Videotome I like, but I'm shallow enough that the looks of :ADV might win out for me. Thanks!

I'm making a game for the game jam, and I'm a little confused as to how choices are implemented.  I'm also having trouble testing the game in my browser, the screen is just blank?

Also, it says in the instructions to put something in the stylesheet when putting character names--"add the appropriate css class to stylesheet.css."  I don't understand what you have to do here?

Learned about this tool a while ago, and have been itching to use it for a long time. Just released a tiny thing using it. Had a lovely time c:

FYI, I ran into an issue where text was rendering weird on Firefox -- sometimes totally unreadable. I narrowed it down to the bottom of drawText(). Something about the combo of "globalAlpha = 0.8" and "filter = 'url(#remove-alpha)'" was causing it. I basically just did this to get around it:

if (navigator.userAgent.search("Firefox")) {
    console.log("firefox detected, failsafe to make sure text is readable");
    ctx1.globalAlpha = 1.0;
}
else {
    ctx1.globalAlpha = 0.8;
}

Everything else is the same. No clue how robust this is, but hey it works fine enough for my purposes. It does make some letters weirdly bolded, but it's better than the alternative.

Can you load animated gifs?

Hey everyone! I just made an account because I really need some help. I might be a bit clueless here, but I'm having trouble adding custom colors to the character names. Any tips? Thanks!

Hello, I have a question about the license for this engine. Does the CC BY-NC-ND refer to the engine, itself(any changes or tweaks in code, etc) or to any games made with the engine? I'm a little confused on that point.

I'm not sure why, none of the Videotome engines work for me. If I open index.html in Videotome or Videotome Adv, I get a mostly blank screen that says press Enter or Space but then it doesn't respond to my doing so. I've tried different browsers and I've tried clicking on the screen. With Super Videotome I get a black screen with two white boxes.

Okay, now that I've spent enough time/made a game with Super, I can confidently say that, as much as I love ADV, this Videotome's my favorite.

Thank you so much for sharing it. Super's a treat to use.

Hello,

I've been playing around with Super a bit, and quite like it, but I've run into a bit of a thing.

I still haven't ruled out user error 100% but I've noticed that the REMOVE function seems a bit borked. It kind of glitches out, necessitating hitting the spacebar/enter multiple times to continue, and whatver text is on the same line as the REMOVE gets eaten/doesn't show up on screen.

I've tried it without brackets around the choice text to be removed, as per the ReadMe doc, with brackets like in ADV, and with one bracket(by accident); the same thing happens, regardless.

I've been faking the effect REMOVE has to the choice options with GOTO to sort of simulate non-blocking choices to the player since GOTO clears the choice box, and while it's not quite the same, it's close enough for a quick jam game.

The other option I've played with is putting extraneous text on the line that gets eaten (an ellipsis or something) so it looks a bit like it's supposed to, narratively-speaking, but the multiple-press-to-continue thing is still jarring, so I'll probably limit that.

Either way, I'm planning to make it work because I want to/am a stubborn weirdo, but I thought you should know for any future updates to Super.

Cheers :)
