Problems with CYOA

[Adventure_Knight]

I used the Create You Own Adventure tool to make an Adventure hack, but when I finished, and I try to run DASM, the program won't run! Someone can help me?

Welcome to the forums. Under File in the CYOA toolbar, choose Create Source and Binary Files, then create a source file. This file will compile using DASM. If you need details on how to compile source files, read the DASM readme text file. Here's the syntax:

dasm filename.asm -f3 -ofilename.bin

where filename is your source file (can be filename.txt). DASM compiles your source and outputs it as a binary file. Note that you need to run DASM as a command line, and not just click on it, if you are using Windows. You can make a batch file using the sample syntax (in this example, the source filename would be cyoa.txt, and the output created would be cyoa.bin).

 

If you are just playing with new rooms/mazes, you can use CYOA's Create Binary feature. However, DASM is very useful for compiling the source file if you make changes with your favourite text editor .
