That's very strange. I uploaded a video
here, where i create a folder and export the game. You should be able to do the same.

I'm sorry to say that it doesn't work as you described. As I said before, I'm not worried about saving the project. Belle won't let me EXPORT it.
I understand that, but if that's not working as i expect there's something wrong that needs to be checked. It may even be connected to the export problem.

That is correct.

I can run the project using the run button, and also using the Menubar > Novel > Run commands.
Again strange, since the functionality is basically the same. Internally the run button uses the same code that is used for export, so the problem should happen on both at least, not only in export.

You might want to consider installing version six on a machine other than the one you are using to build the tool, and see if you can create and export a project.
I know, as i said before i tested this on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8 64-bit. The latter is not used for developing or building anything.

When I played the VN using the Run function, and pressed the menu button to assign a value , my VN would not advance to the next scene, even though I had that command listed "When mouse released"
I tried using buttons, and then tried using a menu to assign values to a variable, but neither worked.
I tested this and in fact i found a problem with the Branch action, that's why neither the Button nor the Menu worked. In those tests i was also able to find some other minor issues. So thank you for that. I created a very simple test game to make sure it was working, you can download
here.
You can fix your current version by just copying actions.js, views.js and game_model.js files from that zip to to Belle's "engine" directory, if you want.

Browser cache sometimes can be annoying, but i never had to clear browser history to make a game work, even if i use the run command many times. Instead of clearing browser history you should try refreshing the page instead.
fleet wrote:This is frustrating. I'll wait until Version 7 to do any more testing.
I understand, i'm sorry, that's why i won't be bothering you (or anyone else) anymore. Feel free to keep comenting here and testing if you want, but i'm done. Thanks for the help, i appreciate it.
Goodbye.
