Hello "World",

with regards to starting a new game/adventure, is it possible to have a choice at the beginning of the game, whether or not to use the panes on the right hand side? I know I can set the game up to start one way or the other but was hoping I might be able to give the player a choice.

I'm old school and prefer none of the panes or hyperlinks, and through reading these forums, I can now add that functionality, including turning the screen black and the text bright green

If this is not possible in 5.4 are there any plans to implement it in later iterations of the code?

Kind Regards

DD

To hide the panes, do:

      JS.eval("$('#gamePanes').hide();")

To show the panes, do:

      JS.eval("$('#gamePanes').show();")

If you don't use Code View, then add a "Run Javascript" command with either

eval ("$('#gamePanes').hide);")

or

eval ("$('#gamePanes').show);")

in the text field.

You can turn the panes off altogether by going to:

Objects -> game -> Display

and then unticking the box called "Show panes (Inventory, Places and Objects, Compass).



If, like me, you want to be able to show the Inventory, but not the places and objects or compass ones, then you need some of Jay's clever code:

But as for how you can switch it on/off during the game, I don't know :-S
