Content creation (technical)
author=MarrendIn JavaScript? No. Well using HTLM5 plus Javascript you could use a file-input tag (like the browse button in the upload dialog of your locker) ... maybe the user could select one or more directories instead of files. But even that would feel cludgy.
I feel like there should be some kind of method that can be used so that potential authors/users wouldn't need to specify every single directory that exists, or could potentially exist, in the base Heartache/Story directory. However, if my limited experience with Tsukihime's resource-checker for VX Ace is any indication, I could be dead wrong!
In PHP you'd just use either readdir () or better yet scandir () and would be basically done.
What Javascript can do to local files is deliberatly kept limited. Because the normal use involves downloading the script from some webpage and running it locally. So the computer *running* the script should not be too trusting towards the person who put it on the *remote* machine where it was downloaded from.
If the script resides on your local computer it has at least limited access to the files in the same directory (including subdirectories). But if it doesn't know the exact location of a file it has to guess ... and if it doesn't know the directory-structure ... you're just out of luck.
In a nutshell: without a webserver to help my script out there'd have to be a config file naming each and every directory that could contain stories, profiles, tachie ...
*Edit:* to make things more ... interesting: stuff like
A: 87191 DONE IN dunno.txt
is probably either a CONDITIONal jump to BRANCH A if there really is a dunno.txt containing a STORY 87191 ... or it's regarded to be part of a choice. (Scroll back a few pages to the discussion about an example in "Ijona on'nanoko" where it turned out that a CONDITION containing a wrong ID is enough to turn A: 9 LIKE into a choice instead of a conditonal jump).

And now for something completely different.
Announcement: I'm currently working on a parser/grapher/maybe testool for heartache ...
The base idea is that I want to make it easier (for me) to keep track on which stories lead where. It will at least be able to load all STORY files of a project and understand those CONDITION = funparthere lines. ... Then I should be able to browse to say WingGirl, STORY 7999 and retrace all paths that lead there.
It'll be written in Javascript, the parser is half way through done. (condition parsing is one part that is not yet done)
Two questions:
#1 Are you interested in me publishing the final tool?
#2 If yes: my current version is able to work with local files ... but it would be somewhat easier if it could rely on a php-enabled webserver (for one you can't really search local files with Javascript, you have to use try-and-error, and what's worse: you'll have to name every possible directory to look for them in a config file). How would you feel about setting up an local apache + php installation to use such a tool (you won't have to give others access to the website. http://localhost/ would be enough for using it).

author=dewelarIn doubt one should pick the easiest way ...
As I mentioned above, the way I've typically heard it phrased is "You have me at a disadvantage." However, one fairly straightforward way to do it would be to have Kazuhiko say, "I'm sorry, should I know you?"
That would yield:
ID = 0
Sorry. But should I know you?
ID = 77
No. We never met before. My name is <last> <first>.
author=dewelar
Next up is STORY 7702:
Not about what <b>you</b> have to gain of it.
- "gain from it"
I don't know you good enough to reveal all my secrets to you just yet.
- technically should be "know you well enough" but I hear it often enough this way that it could stand like this
it's your decision, of course. But I think you're making a mistake.
- Missed capital letter at the beginning
To bad. But I have to accept your choice.
- "Too bad". You do like this one, it seems :) .
@#2 Oops: I read this scene a hundred times. Allways read it as "well enough".
@#3 Maybe a search&replace victim ...
@#4 Told you this were my favorite mistake.

author=dewelarMaybe I'm reading to many English fantasy novels. ;)
Huh. I have literally never heard anyone say that. Then again, it is marked as being a "dated term", so perhaps it's something people used to say?
I read it somewhere sometime ago. It sounded weird enough to remember.
*Edit*: ... Do you know a better way to say "Excuse me, Miss, you seem to know my name, but I don't know yours, so why don't you just fix this?"
author=dewelar
Noted :) . I know you changed some things in 7701, but here's a couple other things I noticed:
That's besides the point.
- beside the point
And you seem to be not be quite "my type".
- One too many "be"s :) . You can remove either one and it would still work.
Especially as I am not interested in you for myself - so I won't sabotage your efforts regarding other girls.
- This dash should definitely be a comma :D .
Fixed the first two ... the third had been fixed in the meantime, anyway.
author=dewelarSearch me ... I'm German so I'd happily chain three or more nouns together without giving it a thought. ;)
Another global observation: I'm wondering if perhaps "wing girl" should be hyphenated (i.e., "wing-girl"). Instinct tells me it should, but I can be convinced otherwise :).
Hm. The term wingman doesn't need a hyphen. But I think it should be either wing-girl or wing girl, not winggirl.
*Edit*: 'Know what: I coined that term and I agree that wing-girl looks better then two seperate words.

I'm searching for Arisawa Hiroaki. He is offering to help us 2nd years with math and geography.

You're right, the easiest way is the best.

Intermediate update to WingGirl.txt and crossover.txt.
Note: currently the first few stories no longer have PRIO = High
Don't be confused if you bump into unplayable girls before you meet Himeko too.
(This change will be better as soon as there are more then just the twins and Himeko available)
This is just a temporary release, if some bug hunter (nods @dewelar) want's to debug the current files and not those released a month or so ago.
- Fixed contractions to my best abilities.
- Removed that unwanted feature.
- Fixed stories up to 7613

Talking about "I'm a 2nd year" and stuff ...
Is this OK?

I don't want to write "2nd year" in every other sentence of this conversation.
And another thing about contractions: does really anybody use "what're" instead of "what are"? If I would do anything to "What are you " it would be "Whatcha "
Hmm ... contracting "who are" to "who're" is a bit unfortunate, ain't it?

Vote request:
"Anyway ... you wanted a ballad - this is one of my favorites."
Dash, comma or colon between ballad and this?

author=dewelarI haven't supplied any sound or music ... I was referring to Maayumi's taste in music (if you follow her route to the end you will know ...)author=Garage
Hope Mayumi's music too ;)
Actually, I generally play with sound off now, since my PC isn't the only one in the room and wearing headphones gives me a headache pretty quickly.

Next up, STORY 7700:
Seems you're in advantage of me.
- Usually, this would be phrased as "Seems you have me at a disadvantage," but "Seems you have an advantage on me" would also work.
She is from the same year as me - so I run into her regularly.
- This doesn't need a dash - just a comma, I think. ;-)
Regarding "in advantage of me": I could've sworn this to be the correct grammar, maybe a bit dated though. Oops. According to wikipedia it should have been "you have the advantage of me"
Dash, smash ;) Yeah I know - nobody likes them dashes just as much as me. I'll smash most of them ... after all those contractions ...

Update: Fixed 7700 ... btw: the two dashes at the end of 7701 are goners too!

author=MarrendWell - Mayumi's reaction is a bit too strong.
To be fair, I didn't know the context of what that conversation was about off-hand. If the context was some perv stealing her sister's stuff, I doubt she would make that reference, and make a different one. Like, if it's in the Hall, point one out, or something?
Context: She has had "bad experiences" with boys and her locker is sometimes unlocked, while she's sure that she's locked it. And personal objects of hers keep "disappearing" ... So she *thinks* she has a stalker ...
Kazuhiko has no way of knowing this at this point in time. Hints and pieces of actual information are scattered all over her route. Like she'll be missing a hairbrush ... or once she starts to come out of her shell and tells him why she'd acted shyly.
Plust this is only the second time they meet Kazuhiko. So she might have a positive first impression of him, but she really doesn't know anything about him.
