You know what, poking through Reactable Quips, I think all the compiler errors come from a change in the way blank table columns are specified. If you replace Section 3 of Reactable Quips (the latest version, version 10) with the following:
[code]Section 3 - Quip Tables
Table of Quip Texts
quip quiptext
quip_null “[generic ask quip]”
quip_dtell “[generic tell quip]”
Table of Quip Followups
quip (a quip) option (a text) result (a quip)
Table of Ask Results
NPC (a person) topic (a topic) result (a quip)
Table of Tell Results
NPC (a person) topic (a topic) result (a quip)
– – --[/code]
then it compiles, and the example “Security Consultant” seems to run as desired. So maybe you can do that and just stick with Reactable Quips instead of converting to Eric Eve’s extensions.
The extension isn’t fully adaptive–the messages aren’t formatted for easy replacement and conversion to non-second person present viewpoints–but that’s probably not a problem for you if you’re already working with it.
(The original format was like this:
Table of Ask Results
NPC topic result
a person a topic a quip
which I think was partly because the old compiler used to choke on headings like “NPC (a person),” even though it wasn’t supposed to.)
