Guncho, the multiplayer IF system: A reminder and some updates
vaporware
Despite the April 1st announcement, Guncho is not a joke! It's a real
multiplayer IF system, where you can write games -- "realms" -- in
Inform 7 and have them played by several players at once, all walking
around in the same world. It doesn't solve the problem of *designing*
good multiplayer IF, but it does give you a place to try your hand at
it. (Or a place to do live beta testing... or just a place to chat.)
See www.guncho.com for more information.
* Updates *
I've made a couple changes since the announcement to make Guncho more
accessible.
First, for those of you who don't have a MUD client installed, you can
now play directly from your web browser: http://www.guncho.com/javaclient/
Second, if you'd prefer to use the I7 program to design your realms at
home instead of editing them on the web site, you can install the
Guncho Mockup extension: http://www.guncho.com/guncho_mockup.zip
Third, we have a wiki now, with tips on writing realms and
descriptions of some of the realms that have been created: http://wiki.guncho.com/
See you there!

I was testing a spanish adventure (Vampiro) programed in I7. I can't
use the spanish extension, but it is a great start.

It would be great if the I7 team could update the main.i6 with those
additions :
around line 80 :
{-open-file}!% +language_name=Selector
{-call:compile_icl_commands}
around line 417 :
#IFDEF ForeignLanguage;
#IFNOT;
Include "Grammar";
#ENDIF;
It wouldn't alter anything for other users, but would help for the Spanish
and French games.

really? thanx a lot!
We have the I7 spanish library (INFSP7) in http://www.caad.es/informate/infsp/i7_index.htm
The direct link is: (infsp pack)
http://www.caad.es/informate/infsp/downloads/infsp_i7.rar
How to 'install' that? Let start over a I7 just installed in Inform7\
* Paste the files (from dir "\libreria INFSP"): Spanish.h, SpanishG.h,
INFSPR.h and Selector.h; in dir \Inform 7\Library\Natural
* Overwrite .i6 files (Main.i6, Actions.i6, Printing.i6, Relations.i6,
Tables.i6, Time.i6, and Verbs.i6) of the dir Inform7\Extensions
\Reserved\
Use the .i6 replacement from dir '\Hacks' of the infsp pack.
* Install the I7 Extension "Spanish Localization" from dir \Extensiones
\
All our spanish games must include this extension. If the extension
is not included, I7 will compile for english. (kind of magic?)
And the last: I need that the report rules (and so) of 'Guncho Mockup'
have name, in order to make possible the replacement with spanish
report rules.
Espero que mi ingles haya sido claro. :-)
Saludos!
