Exit links not displaying

I'm guessing this is something I've switched off in my text-based game (panes are turned off) but using the text processor {exit:room2} does not display a hyperlink. I've got the spelling right because it displays the alias to room 2, but it's just the name, just not a link. In the text processor when I click the Exit Link button on the right, a window pops up asking me to insert the exit name. There appears to be a drop-down list which I assume should show me all available exits, but it is empty. The exit to room 2 from room 1 is one way only. The hyperlinks option in Display is selected.

Any pointers?


This seems to be a bug


Hi Pertex. Fortunately I've changed tack and am now using objects so it no longer affects me. However this certainly seems to be a bug unless there's another explanation.


Have you actually given the exit a name? The drop down, I think, only shows explicitly named exits.

Is "room2" the name of the exit, or the room it leads to? If it's the room, then ProcessTextCommand_Exit will happily create a link, and then the javascript will immediately remove it because the room isn't on the list of exits in scope that is passed to UpdateExitLinks.


Ah, yes, as the documentation says you must use the name of an exit with the exit tag. Then it works


Hmmm... I thought I'd named it but maybe I didn't because I now have it working. Thanks for the replies.
