Two quick questions.

Hey there! I'm a total newbie to Quest, meaning I probably missed this option somewhere, but in case I didn't, am I able to change the order that objects appear in the object list (the object list being the "You can see [...]" bit)?
For example if I had
> room
>> lamp
>> table
>> chair

Could I move "chair" so that it appears before "lamp" in the object list?

Edit: Also, is there a way to remove the whole "You see a ... ... ..." and "You can go ... ... ..." lines? They kinda get in the way of the formatting for my game as is, and they're a little distracting.
Cheers!

The easiest way to do that would be to open the editor and physically drag the chair object above the lamp object in the left sidebar. Or rearrange somehow until it is appealing. As for the "you see" things, you simply click on the room in the editor and then click on the room tab. You should see the words "Objects list prefix" and you just delete the text beneath it.

For the first one, I can't physically drag anything anywhere on the object list without it becoming a parent to that object.
If I tried to drag "chair" above "lamp," it'd parent itself to either "lamp" or "room" (depending on where my cursor is; there's no middle ground). The former serves no purpose and the latter is already the case and thus does nothing.

As for the second, I mis-typed. I want them to not be hyperlinks, so that people can't click on them and select "look at" or whatever. You know, like the old fashioned text adventures.

Heck, the first one could be as simple as making a new room, moving all the objects to this new room temporarily, moving them all back in the order you want them, then deleting the new room. Or you could just remake the objects in the order you want them.

To disable the hyperlinks, open the editor again and click on the actual "game" in the left side. Under the third tab, labeled "Options" there is a heading called "Room Descriptions." You can disable those hyperlinks by unchecking the box that says "enable hyperlinks"

Hope it helps. :)

The new room thing worked like a charm. Thanks!

:facepalm: I can't believe I forgot that whole menu.
Cheers! :D
