Cover Art Dimensions & Player Alias

I remember reading somewhere the recommended size for the cover art file but I just can't find it anywhere, does anyone know what size is good for a gamebook or text adventure cover?

I am also asking here to prevent spam in the forums, but does anyone know how to allow the player to enter their name in a Quest 5.8 gamebook? I'm pretty sure there is an Input code (I have 0 experience with coding sorry) but in the drop down menu in the gamebook script/script+text box there is no choice for that.
Is there even a way for the player to input their name to the gamebook for characters to call them by? Any feedback would be great!

Hello,

Sorry you haven't had much luck. Gamebooks are a different breed and finding help for creating one is going to take a lot of patience and time for every question you have.

I would say like 95% of people on the site use the text adventure half.

With that said, for text adventures you would use...

msg ("What is your name?")
get input {
player.alias = result
msg ("Pleased to meet you {player.alias}")
}

It's probably different for a gamebook though :/
