Hello! I just started making a text adventure in Quest today, and I ran into a pretty big problem: The objects simply don't work. When I type in "look at bed" it should say, "There's no time to rest," but instead it does nothing and the text is still in the box where you type. Am I missing something obvious? Yes, I have set the message, but it won't do anything when I click on the hyperlink OR when I type the command. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi PoochieMoo,

I'm new here, too, but, if you have a link to the game and/or a sample of the code, I'll see if I can help.

Best Wishes!

Are you using windows XP still? if you are... I'm not sure if there's a way to get it to work with quest's more recent versions.

otherwise...

sounds like this could be another case of needing to update/download the 'MS .net framework' and/or 'CefSharp' files, as doing so, seems to help with a lot of problems with quest not working with one's computer.

but, hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help with this stuff, as I don't know anyhting about this stuff.

from what you describe in your post of quest not working, definately means there's some issue between your computer and quest, what ever the cause/issue/reason may be. But, this isn't an issue with quest or trouble-shooting mistakes in trying to make games with quest, as your quest isn't even working.

And also, now looking back at your post about teh Game Book Page Links also not working, definately points to issue between quest and your computer, not of quest and/or mistakes in trying to do stuff in the game you're trying to make with it.

here's about the MS .net framework, as best as I can tell, it allows lots of programming languages to work and/or work together, which is likely needed/used by quest and why it fixes a lot of issues people have with quest not working on their computers:

here's a link for the MS .net framework:

(remove the dot/period in the ht.tps for it to work in url)

and I'm not sure if the 'CefSharp' are apart of the MS .net framework or something else entirely separate/different.

Is this on-line or the desktop version?

Try playing another game on the text adventures site (make sure it is a Quest game) and see if that works.

If that does not work:
If you are using the on-line version, it might be an issue with the web player (though it is working fine for me).
If you are using the desktop version, it could be a problem with your install of Quest or dot. net maybe. I would start by uninstalling Quest, and installing again.

If it is just your game:
Do other commands work like LOOK?

No, no commands work. I am using the desktop version. I have windows 10 installed. I will try downloading .NET, and if that doesn't work I'll uninstall quest and re install it.

Did you try downloading a game, and seeing if that will play? If it does, then it is an issue with your game, and reinstalling stuff will probably not do anything.

If the game is small, you could do Tools - Code view, and copy-and-paste the entire game into a post, and we could take a look.

Are you able to use quest now? or, do other games work, but not your specific one that you're making?

Everything works fine now, just started using my desktop instead
