A transcript is a recording of everything the player types and the game prints, and can be very useful when beta-testing, for example.

When using the desktop player, transcripts will be saved to the directory Documents\Quest Transcripts. This file will be in the TXT format.

When playing online, transcripts will be saved to the user’s browser in local storage. Online users can visit this page to access online transcripts: https://play.textadventures.co.uk/TranscriptViewer/index.html

IMPORTANT NOTE TO ONLINE USERS: If your cookies are deleted, your transcripts will all be deleted. If your browser settings have been changed to delete cookies when closed, your transcript files will be deleted. Make sure to view and/or print your transcript(s) before closing your browser if it is set to delete cookies when closed.

To turn the transcript on, use any of these commands during play.

SCRIPT
TRANSCRIPT
SCRIPT ON
TRANSCRIPT ON
ENABLE SCRIPT
ENABLE TRANSCRIPT

If it is already enabled, Quest will print, “The transcript is already enabled.”

To stop the transcript:

SCRIPT OFF
TRANSCRIPT OFF
DISABLE SCRIPT
DISABLE TRANSCRIPT

Note that during play you can type a * and then some text, and Quest will ignore it. This is useful for when you want to comment on something, such as a bug you have found. The comment will appear in the transcript (and can be searched for as it starts with a *), but you will not confuse the game with your weird command.
