#VISIONARY problem
2 messages in this thread
To Pat at OXXI, I bought VISIONARY and sent in my registration card a
week ago. You should have received it by now. I compiled the MAGIC
POTION game provided and everything on the startup screen works. But
when I click on the West button it doesn't go to the 'ByShack' room.
I examined the source code and could not find the bug. I then
recompiled MAGIC POTION so that the main potion.adv file used ByShack
as the INITROOM location. I got the SCREENMODE TEXT screen and typed
East (e) and was able to get to the 'ByTree' room. But, again, when I
typed (w) west to go back to the 'ByShack' room I kept getting the
message 'You're back by the tree' and was not able to get back to the
'ByShack' room. The source code says clearly in the DEFAULT/END
DEFAULT space in the 'ByTree.room that 'ByShack' is (w) and yet I
can't get VISIONARY to transport me West from the SCREENMODE GRAPHICS
'ByTree' room. Do directions work while in SCREENMODE GRAPHICS using
the supplied source code for the commandline in SCREENMODE GRAPHICS?
Am I missing something?

Yes, Patrick, and if you compile this mini-adventure as a text-only
adventure, (w) works… The developer, who wrote this particular
game, has been working on the problem, and even HE hasn't come up
with an answer, but we suspect it has to do with the GO command bug
that he has now fixed. If re-compiling and linking here with this
new code works (I should have it today), I'll upload the new VLink
and DBug modules to you in E-Mail tomorrow morning.
