I am just an end user of Stroybook Pro. I would volunteer to test anything to get the software back up and running.

See Sourceforge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ostorybook/

In Files go to the subdirectory “previous”, my work is storybook499.zip

Unfortunatly I’m french but I can understand english. Use the Discussion part to ask something.

All my code is Open Source. No “pro”.

Hi,

thanks a lot. It runs perfectly. I was thinking to purchase other software. Now I can continue my novel with it.

Merci ;-)

Gustavo.

I had some choice words with the developer when he decided to add the activation requirement. Now I’m doubly glad that I didn’t pay for the upgrade (I did pay for 2.X if I recall), since the activation servers did that thing every developer promises won’t happen (going down.)

Hi, many thanks for continuing the project! I was a bit confused about how open source vs. licensed (Pro) version worked for Storybook. I was happy to support it, but now that it has gone under, it is good that people who have paid can still use the software.

There do seem to be some bugs, however. For example, editing a scene or other item sometimes edits the previously selected item, or even gives a blank (“null”) value. And after some work, I have a completely blank screen for “manage scenes” which makes using oStorybook impossible.

Unfortunately I cannot program in Java, and thus cannot help. I think this is well worth developing, though! Version 4 has a flexible, clean look which is a vast step forward, although it took me a few hours of working in it to fully appreciate the new features.

Best, /Pavi
