Dialogue Punctuation by Ron Newcomb (version 3)

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 23:38:31 GMT

Provides a way to ensure that a piece of text will only be printed once, or to have it appear differently the first time it's printed.

Output Filtering by Ron Newcomb (version 2)

Specify rules to modify any and all game output. Recommended usage is solving capitalization, punctuation, and whitespace issues. Includes Eric Eve's Text Capture. (Updated for 5T18.)

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 17:37:03 GMT

Allows the capture of text that would otherwise be output to the screen, so that the text can be further manipulated, displayed at some other point, or simply discarded. Version 6 avoids using phrases deprecated in 6E59.

Text Variations by Jon Ingold (version 4)

Sat, 4 Aug 2007 12:14:13 GMT

Provides the ability to vary say statements inline, either randomly or sequentially. (This ability is built into Inform as of 4X60, but the extension remains for people who would like to use it with older versions of Inform.)

String Buffers by Jesse McGrew (version 5)

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 23:30:18 GMT

Gives objects the ability to store messages which can be manipulated with more flexibility than regular text values. Includes an example in which the player can write messages in a notebook. (Incompatible past 5T18, but unnecessary given that Inform now has indexed text; we leave it on the website for people still using older versions of Inform.)

Keywords for Conversation by Matt Wigdahl (version 2)

Sat, 26 Feb 2011 02:30:24 GMT

Bridges Eric Eve's Conversation Package and Aaron Reed's Keyword Interface, providing an interface to support single-keyword conversations.

Phrases for Tables with Topics by Ron Newcomb (version 1)

Grants five new phrases regarding the player's command, the matched text, and the topic understood: if one is a topic listed in a table, if one includes or matches a topic listed in a table, what corresponds to one within a table, and the last phrase corrects a bug so the topic understood may be used within an understand-as-mistake line.

Multiple Exits by Mikael Segercrantz (version 4/080915)

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:04:56 GMT

Thu, 8 May 2008 19:52:48 GMT

Requires Atmospheric Effects and Weather. This extension creates scenes based upon the settings produced by the Weather extension for ease of use with Atmospheric Effects's scene mechanism. The number of scenes created by Weather Effects is enough for the game not to fit in the Z-Machine, so this extension is Glulx only. Updated to work with 5T18.

Basic Real Time by Sarah Morayati (version 2)

Sun, 17 May 2009 01:24:04 GMT

Sun, 12 Sep 2010 01:52:40 GMT

Player-Character Requires Persuasion by Ron Newcomb (version 1)

Ordinary Room Description by Emily Short (version 2)

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:29:32 GMT

Note: this extension is no longer supported by the author, and will receive no further updates. An extension to go with Room Description Control, emulating the default Inform output as closely as possible while enabling the author to make use of the prioritizing and concealing options of RDC. Version 2 is an internal refactoring to allow for easier maintenance.

Room Description Control by Emily Short (version 10)

Sat, 02 Apr 2011 03:10:49 GMT

A replacement of the look rules that generate descriptions of the items in a room. Room Description Control allows the author to choose items in a room to conceal from description. It also allows him to arrange the order in which objects are described and manage the form that description takes. Note that Room Description Control is only a framework and will require the author to provide a set of writing a paragraph about rules. See Single Paragraph Description, Ordinary Room Description, and Tailored Room Description for options. (Updated for 5T18.)

Single Paragraph Description by Emily Short (version 4)

Sat, 02 Apr 2011 03:10:31 GMT

Provides a very terse style of room description in which the objects in a room are listed in the same paragraph as the main room description text. Note: requires Room Description Control. Version 3 corrects a game-crashing bug that occurred when a room had no description at all.

Tailored Room Description by Emily Short (version 10)

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 19:46:36 GMT

An extension to go with Room Description Control, providing a different style of room description than the default.

Objects, items, and people mentioned in square brackets within the room description or room heading will no longer be re-described later in the LOOK command.

Requires Version 7 (or later) of Bulk Limiter; the space under objects is limited by bulk. Underside is compatible with Version 10 or later of Implicit Actions, but does not require it. Version 5 of Underside avoids features deprecated in Version 6E59 of Inform.

Hiding Under by Eric Eve (version 3)

Sat, 19 Jun 2010 15:55:52 GMT

Allows things to be hidden under other things, using a many-to-one underconcealment relation.

Version 3 of Hiding Under avoids using phrases deprecated in Version 6E59 of Inform.

Hidden Items by Krister Fundin (version 2)

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 01:25:17 GMT

Provides a simple way of defining objects (including doors and backdrops) that are initially out of play.

Trinity Inventory by Mikael Segercrantz (version 4/080708)

Thu, 8 May 2008 19:52:48 GMT

Provides a framework for listing inventories in natural sentences, akin to Infocom's game Trinity. Separates carried and worn objects, followed by objects that contains other objects. What's listed in the third section is customizable via a rulebook. Objects can be marked as not listed when carried or worn as well as marked as having their contents listed in the inventory when they're empty. This extension is based upon the extension Written Inventory by Jon Ingold. Updated for 5T18.

Written Inventory by Jon Ingold (version 3)

Mon, 5 May 2008 03:18:56 GMT

Fri, 01 May 2009 15:09:40 GMT

In lieu of compass directions, we may VISIT, ATTEND, GO TO, and FIND various people, events, places, and things. Characters may INVITE, PERMIT, and FORBID each other to or from their respective domains.

Regional Travel by Juhana Leinonen (version 1)

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 02:58:52 GMT

Modified Exit by Emily Short (version 5)

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:37:14 GMT

Changes the handling of the EXIT action, allowing commands such as EXIT PLATFORM and GET OUT OF CHAIR, making characters leave enterable objects before traveling, and altering the default interpretation of >OUT when the player is neither inside an object nor in a room with an outside exit. Version 5 removes deprecated features and dovetails more gracefully with Rideable Vehicles.

Locksmith by Emily Short (version 10)

Implicit Actions by Eric Eve (version 12)

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 17:40:10 GMT

Provides implicit taking, opening, closing, locking and unlocking actions for a variety of cases where this makes for smoother game play. The extension also defines phrases which make it easy to define additional implicit actions if desired. Version 11 can be used with Locksmith by Emily Short (although Implicit Actions covers most of what Locksmith does, and in most cases it will be better to use Implicit Actions without Locksmith). Requires Plurality by Emily Short and Version 5 of Text Capture by Eric Eve.

Limited Implicit Actions by Eric Eve (version 2)

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 17:40:27 GMT

A cut-down version of Implicit Actions for use where code size may be restricted and the full functionality of Implicit Actions is not needed. Requires Plurality by Emily Short and is compatible with Locksmith by Emily Short.
