C3 Scriptorium

I get a blank scriptorium screen when I try to run it. The help file says that means C3 isn't running, or scriptorium can't find it. I've got C3/DS running, so my problem must be the latter. Is there anything I can do to help it find C3, or am I SOL?

I've never heard of Scriptorium for C3.
What operating system are you using? This could be an issue where the programs have different permissions--eg. in Windows, if you run one program as an administrator but not the other, it won't let them "talk" to each other. I have this problem occasionally with the Genetics Kit or CAOS Tool if I forget to run them as administrator.

It could be the C3 Scriptorium Browser?

I've never been able to get the scriptorium to work, so it isn't just you.

Yes, Malkin, it's the Scriptorium Browser. :)

Ghosthande, I'm running Win XP in VMware Fusion on a MacBook Air running Lion (OSX 10.7). I run everything as Administrator.

Liam, darn, that's not very encouraging. It seemed like such a good way to start figuring out how things work! *sigh*

Have you tried the game's CAOS Documentation file?

You can always just look at the .cos source of files in the Bootstrap directory? :)

Ghosthande - Yep. I'm more of a kinesthetic learner, though. Reading instructions doesn't do anything for me until I've had my hands on whatever it is the instructions are about. IRL I take things apart and then see if I can get them working again (which really used to irritate my parents ;) ). I do the same thing with code...until I've taken apart somebody else's code and made it do different things, the command listing really doesn't help much except to give me a vague idea of what else might be possible.

Liam - I stumbled over Grendel Man's Tutorial: Extracting Plants and Animals from a Metaroom today, which is getting me off to a good start. (Thanks, Grendel Man!)
