This is a list of bugs in Twine 1.4.2. Some of these may be carryovers from Twine 1.4.1, and some may be newly introduced. All of these will be fixed in a future release.
=====Image syntax doesn't work with external URLs=====
Due to a bug, the image syntax in 1.4.2 only works with imported image resources - external URLs will silently fail to load.
====Patch====
To fix this, simply install this repair code in a [[script]] passage:
Wikifier.imageFormatter.importedImage = function(img, passageName) {
var imgPassages, imgname;
// Try to parse it as a variable
try {
imgname = internalEval(Wikifier.parse(passageName));
}
catch(e) {
}
if (!imgname) {
imgname = passageName;
}
// Base64 passage transclusion
imgPassages = tale.lookup("tags", "Twine.image");
for (j = 0; j < imgPassages.length; j++) {
if (imgPassages[j].title == imgname) {
img.src = imgPassages[j].text;
return;
}
}
img.src = imgname;
}
=====No History.prototype.display warning=====
A warning should be displayed on startup if a script passage contains code which replaces History.prototype.display with an older version that doesn't support the correct number of arguments. However, due to a bug, this won't ever be displayed. (For what it's worth, few such scripts are known to exist anyway, so it may be an overcautious warning as is.)
=====Missing 'y' in warning message=====
The "got itself in a mess" message incorrectly slices softErrorMessage, causing it to lose the "Y" in "You".
=====Jonah, links and passages named "undefined"=====
If you use a macro that creates internal links, such as Leon's custom <> macro, then clicking such a link will alter the ID of any previous .passage elements named "undefined" (case-sensitive) - adding a timestamp, which should normally only occur when navigating back to that passage two or more times in a Jonah story.
=====Control-L passage editor shortcut and named links=====
If you highlight a link with separate link text and passage title (such as %%[[link text|passage]]%%) then press control-L, a passage named "link text|passage" is created, instead of just "passage".
=====<> variables accessible across stories=====
Due to a naming bug, variables saved via «remember» are unwittingly shared over all Twine stories accessed from the same website (as in, the base hostname, like ''%%http://philome.la/%%'') and played in that particular browser - if a remembered variable name in one story matches that of another story, then one will overwrite the other if both are played.
====='Cancel' button in Create passages dialog=====
In the "create passages" prompt given when you close a passage containing red links, the 'cancel' button behaves identically to the 'no' button - both dismiss the dialog and close the passage.
=====Can't import from HTML files with uppercased tag names=====
If, for instance, a HTML file was saved from IE, its tags become uppercased. This precludes Twine from importing the HTML via Import Compiled HTML.
=====Stories stop working if saved from IE=====
Saving HTML from IE causes line breaks to be inserted, especially in the storeArea. This can break custom scripts.
=====innerText vs textContent=====
Twine refers to the innerText property to read code from storeArea passage elements, when it ought to use textContent. This causes e.g. multiple spaces in passages to be truncated.
=====Apostrophes in links provided as arguments to <>, <
