Request from Pertex in
http://www.axeuk.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t;=2482:

In the container-tab there are the checkboxes 'is open' and 'can be opened'.
Is it possible to add 'is locked' and 'can be unlocked' and perhaps a new list
'unlock with' next to it where you can choose the object which unlocks the
container?

As in Quest 4.x, rooms should be able to have a description script tag, or a
description that is just words, instead of having an automatically generated
description.

Would be nice to have a flexible wordy mechanism, so you can write, "As you
approach the castle you see its turrets looming down upon you. [rock: There is
a small rock in your path.]"

If a type inherits another type, and overrides a script property, it should be
possible for the child type to call the script defined in the parent type.

e.g. if I have a food type that defines an "eat" script, then create a dessert
type that inherits food, I want the dessert "eat" script to be able to call
the food "eat" script.

There are various issues with audio under different browsers. We are currently
using jPlayer as not all browsers support the HTML5 tag.

These problems may be browser bugs which will go away in time, so it may or
may not be worth attempting to fix these:

Safari: Audio doesn't play at all. If you uncomment the jPlayer.event.error
binding in playAudio (in player.js), you'll see all requests result in an
"e_url" error.
Chrome: The "loop" option doesn't work. The event does fire, as you can see if
you put an alert in endFunction, but the call to play doesn't seem to be doing
anything.
IE: We have to use to get WAVs to work, as IE <9 doesn't support the
tag and the Flash fallback option doesn't support WAVs. This means we
can't get implement the "sync" option as we have no way of getting a
notification when the sound has finished. I expect this is unfixable.

Also, I've not looked at implementing support for MIDI files at all in
WebPlayer. We may just leave these as unsupported.

Dynamic templates should be able to handle "they are" in addition to
"he/she/it is"

For example this is the current "AlreadyOpen" template in English.aslx, which
will be grammatically incorrect for plural objects with a gender of "they". We
probably need a Conjugate function to conjugate the verb "to be" correctly in
English.aslx:

CapFirst(object.gender) + " is already
open."

should become

CapFirst(Conjugate(object.gender), "be"))

• " already open."

Core.aslx defines the "player" object, so how do we make it so that this
object can have more properties added to it, either by the game or by other
libraries?

Some kind of tag perhaps, like in this example (supplied by Jonathan
Dobson):

<extend name="player">
    <someElement type="int">10</someElement>
</extend>

Or maybe just allow further tags which are then merged with the
existing object? I think I prefer the "extend" idea though as at least that's
being explicit about the intention, allowing duplicate object tags with the
same name would get confusing.

The issue described in this thread
http://www.axeuk.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t;=2388
with "case" not
working correctly should have caused an error when the game loaded, instead of
being subtly incorrect at run-time.

So, in this particular situation, a "case" not followed by an expression
should cause an error, but this will also be true of most script commands.

A limitation of FLEE is that if you pass in an expression using dot notation
(like "object.property"), it expects the "property" to be a .net property.

We work around this by converting dots to underscores in expressions, but that
means that you can't use underscores in variable names now.

There are a few ways we could resolve this:

• use a more obscure character
• convert dot notation to a function, e.g. object.property becomes GetProperty(object, property)
• since FLEE is open source ( http://flee.codeplex.com ), modify that to add a ResolveProperty event (like the existing ResolveVariableValue etc.)

As suggested in the forum,
http://www.axeuk.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t;=2460
, since an object's
"look" property is separate from its "description" property, and the
"description" property of a non-room object is otherwise unused, we could add
the descriptions of all objects in the visible scope to the room description.

In Quest 4.x we have the concept of "status variables", which are variables
whose value is always displayed on-screen (underneath the inventory box). Used
for score, health etc.

In Quest 5.0 we should have a similar concept. Logically something like health
would be a property of the player object, so maybe we should use the ability
to run script whenever the value of some property changes. This could trigger
an update of some kind on the game playing window. I don't really want to have
the status variables in the inventory box again though, as they are not
related and it means we'd have to add special logic so you couldn't use verbs
on status variables. I don't really want a separate box on the right pane
either, so maybe it should be like a status bar at the top of the screen.
Perhaps this could be done entirely using HTML and Javascript? If so, this
could be done entirely via Core.aslx, PlayerDefault.htm and WebFunctions.js -
no .net changes required.

Authors should be able to specify hints for each stage of their game.
Multiple-level hints would be good - the first hint can be quite broad, then
if the player keeps typing "hint" they get more and more detailed clues (and
perhaps they also lose points, so it should be possible to hook scripts in to
the hint system).

Quest 4.x supports "beforeturn" and "afterturn", which let you run a script
for every turn in the game (either before the turn has been processed, or
afterwards). I think these concepts should also be in Quest 5.0, and could be
added very simply to Core.aslx.

Also the ability to trigger a script after a certain number of turns would be
good. So you'd be able to set up a script that would run say 10 turns after
the user entered a room, with the ability to cancel if the user found the
escape hatch etc. It should be possible to implement this entirely within
Core.aslx I think.

If you've moved to a different screen than the one the undo applies to, you
probably want to move back to that screen to see the effect of your change.

There is some setFocus behaviour in the current UpdateField code, which I've
just commented out as it was causing strange things to happen - if it fired
because of an update to the underlying data because of the user leaving a
control, you could end up with focus set to two controls at once. The screen
wouldn't paint the two "focussed" controls correctly and subsequent updates
would appear to come from the wrong control.

In Quest 4.x there is the "enter" command, which means within a turn you can
prompt the player for further input. That input then goes into a string
variable, instead of being handled as a normal command. This means you can do
things like prompt the player to enter the answer to a question. There should
be a similar command in Quest 5.0.

Every object should support a "visible" property, allowing it to be hidden.
This would need to be implemented in CoreScopes.aslx. Also there should be the
concept of scenery, i.e. an object that the player can "look at", but which
doesn't appear in the automatically generated room description because it's
not actually important to the game.

Editor needs cut/copy/paste buttons to allow any element to copied and pasted.
This should also work between games.
