Help needed for Riddles

[Nickynack]

ok so in freewebs i am trying to make a new riddle and i dunno how to get the levels to change.....ie when you type the answer.htm it should take you to a different page but i cant get it to work....anyone help?

[Mistery]

You need to make different pages (HTML files) with those names, e.g.

start.hm (main page)
level1.htm (level 1)
apple.htm (answer to level 1)
banana.htm (answer to level 2)

thanks Mistery but i tried that and it aint working - do i need to link them in any way or will it do it automatically?

[Mistery]

Well, just a basic question: Does the player have to enter the answer in the URL or in a kind of form on the page?

If the player has just to change the URL, there is no need to link the pages.

Have you been able to make different pages?
If so, what happens if you test it, and enter the URL of the next level?

You don't need to link the pages. You just name the page as the answer to the appropriate level should be. And if they are smart and lucky they will get it right. :D
You could test it your self.

how do u make a riddle im confused

[Mistery]

You need to create different pages that contain your riddle levels.

For example create a page called start.htm or start.html that contains the start page (Welcome to my riddle.....).
Then create a page called e.g. level1.htm or level1.html that contains your first level.
After that you make a page with the name of the solution of level 1. For example if the solution for level 1 is "apple", then create a page that is called apple.htm or apple.html, and write the riddle of level 2 on that page.

sorry my computer wont let me popup blocker or sumthing

thank you but every time i create a page you have to click on one of the side buttons for the riddle instead of it just being there.. like you would have to click the name of the riddle by the home tab and the guestbook tab

[Mistery]

It seems that links are created automatically.
Edit the page and take out the links.

ok thx ill try that hopefully it will work

[colbymichael]

i sound dumb but how do u take it off

[Mistery]

What do you mean by taking it off :?
If you mean the links, you need to click on edit, and edit the page. You have to delete all the links to other pages in the source, and then save the page.

o ok thx that makes alot of sense now
and also when i put the mouse on the paragraph it lights up and makes this big box around it

what is a widget?

i dont get it but thanks anyway for your help

[Mistery]

Well, I'm not familiar with making riddles on Freewebs, therefore I would suggest you to look around which member has made a riddle there, and send a PM with your questions :)

[colbymichael]

how do u send a pm?

[Mistery]

Just click on the name of the member, and choose "Send a private message to ...."
To view your private messages, click the link in the top right corner of this page (under "Welcome, colbymichael").

And please stop asking for help for your riddle in other threads. I have already sent you a PM about it. It's enough to discuss it here ;)

Right, I'm working on my second Riddle Game, Riddle of Ages 2, and I just wondered, how do you add things into the source code on freewebs?

I really don't know...

[Justeazy]

To add something to the source code, for a freewebs riddle, you have to have the editor disabled.
You then must switch to html editor (it gives you a warning for advanced users) then you can edit the riddle.


For freewebs riddles, it must be like this:
www.freewebs.com/myriddle
www.freewebs.com/myriddle/level1.htm
www.freewebs.com/myriddle/level2.htm

Where level1/level2 is the answer.
You must have the .htm, no "L" at the end, and it has to have your screen name thingy before it. Also, your homepage must be the one without anything after the name.
