Updating TiddlyWiki RPGs

[nondescrip]

Hello, fellow TW fans!

I've converted a few popular tabletop roleplaying games:

* Fudge RPG: http://fudgerpg.tiddlyspot.com/

* Warrior, Rogue, & Mage: http://wyrm.tiddlyspot.com/

But I've been having problems uploading updates to Tiddlyspot i.e. it doesn't work.

Looking at TW, I see a lot of progress and upgrades! :D

Should I:

1. Upgrade to the latest version, 2.6.6.?

2. Continue using Tiddlyspot (and what are the remedies), use "TiddlyWiki in the Sky", or try another option?

Thanks! TiddlyWiki was awesome then and is "awesomer" now! :)

Tighter browser security has been messing up tiddlywiki save
strategies a lot. An earlier version of a browser, e.g. Firefox 3.6,
will probably work for you for saving to tiddlyspot.

In other news, it was your Fudge RPG tiddywiki that turned me on to
Fudge. Thanks for that, fudge rpg is awesome -- at least
theoretically it is, some of my player group moved away, and I've only
run a couple of fudge sessions since then. However I'm enjoying
writing up my own set of magic rules. Ever a tinkerer.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

Thanks, Daniel, I'm glad you like the game. :)

I plan on adding more Fudge RPG content, like the chapters of the 10th Anniversary book.

I'm leaning more on putting the TiddlyWikis on Dropbox so that we easily upgrade to future versions of TW.

... unless somebody can point me in a better direction, that is.

Awesome, RPGers are one of the original groups that breathes life into the TiddlyWiki community. RPGs make great examples of works that are too complex to scaffold within a conventional office document.

But I've been having problems uploading updates to Tiddlyspot i.e. it doesn't work.

What browser and operating system are you using? Do you get any error messages, or entries in the browsers JavaScript console. As others have noted there has recently been a tightening of browser security features, but I wasn't aware of any changes that affect using TiddlySpot.

Suddenly there is quite a lot going on.

Should I:

1. Upgrade to the latest version, 2.6.6.?

Yes, I would recommend doing so. Keep a backup from before the upgrade, and check carefully that it functions normally after the upgrade.

2. Continue using Tiddlyspot (and what are the remedies), use "TiddlyWiki in the Sky", or try another option?

If you're happy with it (when we get it working again) then there's no reason to switch away from it.

If you're happy to use Dropbox then TiddlyWiki in the Sky could be a good option. It can edit TiddlyWiki documents stored anywhere in your Dropbox folder, including public folders and files. This means that it can be used in a similar way to TiddlySpot - visitors can access the wiki using the ordinary Dropbox public URI, and the owner edits it by visiting http://dropbox.tiddlywiki.com

Another option is TiddlySpace at http://tiddlyspace.com which is a much more sophisticated and flexible online host for tiddlers. The advantage of TiddlySpace is that it makes it easier to share tiddlers between distinct spaces, so you could, for instance, arrange things to have one space that contains all the generic gubbins required by your RPGS, and then a separate space for each RPG to contain its specific data. These latter spaces would each include the generic gubbins space so that they get those tiddlers automatically.

Thanks! TiddlyWiki was awesome then and is "awesomer" now! :)

Many thanks for the kind words,

Cheers

Jeremy

I've tried uploading to TiddlySpot on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 using Firefox 15. I don't get any error or any other message. It just keeps saying "uploading".

Anyways, thinking of the options available, I've decided to upgrade and use "TiddlyWiki in the Sky"!!!

Thanks for all the advice!

P.S. I use TiddlySpace too, for non-rpg stuff. :)

Hmm, I'll do some exploring and see if it's working for me.

Cool. Do bear in mind that it's quite early days for it. I'm still
tracking down problems with international characters (and emoticons),
so I'd suggest steering clear from them if you can.

Best wishes
