Import Twine into Tiddlywiki

[jesse.bradl...@gmail.com]

I wanted to see if there is a way to import a Twine file into a Tiddlywiki site. How would I go about doing that?

jesse,

Please be a little more descriptive on your needs, A Quick Google gave me?

There are two kinds of files that Twine works with: story files, which are editable versions of your stories that you can only open with Twine, and output files, which are read-only versions that can be opened in a Web browser. While you write your story, you make changes to your story file, then check to see what the output file looks like. When you're done, you can post your output file to a Web site or e-mail it to others.

So what are you trying to do?

Get a new empty tiddlywiki and experiment.

Have you tried to import a twine file into tiddlywiki, or even simply open it in an editor and cut and paste into a tiddler?, try to drag and drop a file into tiddlywiki and see what happens.

I suspect hidden in your question is the desire by you to write in a twine format your own stories and this may be achieved in tiddlywiki, but then you are effectively proposing other markdown or markup language. There are other examples of this discussed in the forums such as for script writing. 

Searching the forum for twine gave a number of hits such as https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/twine%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/GOiIWbRSKZQ/Z_RnuCkxAQAJ

Perhaps someone in the community has already explored twine files so let us see if they respond.

I tried importing a published story file into Tiddlywiki and it didn't open properly. When I re-published it in Sugarcube instead, it gave me enable Javascript message. I'm using it to build callflows for work and I didn't want users to go into a separate tab to access the flow.

Hey, Jesse —

Make sure you're using TiddlyWiki Classic.  As far as I understand, TWINE never transitioned to using the new TiddlyWiki 5, so it won't be compatible.

[jesse.bradl...@gmail.com]

Rats. That doesn't help at all. Company's knowledge base is in Tiddlywiki5. Would take too much work to covert it to classic.

Hey, Jesse —

There's an upgrade path from Classic to TW5, but I suspect Twine customizes the wiki in ways that wouldn't survive the upgrade.  If you want to datamine the Twine game, the upgrade might still be helpful, but if you want to display it in the other wiki, you're probably best off using an iframe or something.

Who's this games company building a knowledgebase in TiddlyWiki?  :D  Fellow game developer here.

[jesse.bradl...@gmail.com]

It's not a game company. I work for a pharmacy software company and I had to figure out how to create an interim knowledge base until I can get the funding for something more permanent like Flare. Tiddlywiki seems to be working for now. 

Twine is actually really good to use for call flows for employees who handle calls. The decision making in hypertext is the same they would make over the phone.
