Tweego not finding Start passage

Authoring Twine
1

Tweego version: 2.1.1+81d1d71 [linux/amd64]

I’m having a fundamental problem with tweego: I give it a file in tw3 format, and it swears blind there’s no Start passage.

This is the whole of my file:

:: Start

This is the start of my story.

[[Fred]]

:: Fred

This is Fred. He's a passage.

and when I run “tweego tfg.tw3”, I get the following error message:

error: Starting passage "Start" not found.

Either I’ve clearly got something fundamentally wrong somewhere, or it’s emitting the wrong error message.

What do you have in your StoryData?

Example of the StoryDate passage below:

:: StoryData
{
	"ifid": "2BBF014B-FE37-40DD-A448-FCE68799803C", 
	"format": "SugarCube",
	"format-version": "2.36.1",
	"start": "Start"
}

I don’t know much about Tweego, but are you supposed to put a space between your colon and the name of your passage?

The examples in the tweego documentation on motoslave.net all use a space after the double-colon.

It turns out that I skimmed the list of supported file extensions a teensy bit too fast and managed to make myself think that the correct extension for a twee 3 file was “tw3” when it’s actually “tw” :neutral_face:

When I renamed my file from tfg.tw3 to tfg.tw everything worked.

I’ll leave this thread up here in case anyone else ever makes my mistake :slight_smile:

Well, .tw and .twee are both acceptable, but yes, .tw3 is not a thing.
