I need details of how, when and where
Story Teller accesses the filing system
The wide range of network systems available make it difficult to give
installation instructions for each permutation. The following is a detailed
look at how Story Teller accesses the filing system and should be helpful to
network managers in setting up the system.
| File/directory name | Location | Permissions | Comment |
| tellstories.exe | In application folder | All users need read access to this. | This is the Story Teller program |
| stpath.ssp | In application folder - i.e. the same folder as tellstories.exe | All users need read access to this. | Contains the path to the working folder. Set from Options>Change network options. |
| Validate.val | In application folder - i.e. the same folder as tellstories.exe | All users need read access to this. | Licence validation. |
| storyteller.options. | In working folder - i.e. the directory pointed to by stpath.ssp. | All users need read access to this. Teachers need write access. | The options files contain all information from the options screen. |
| saved stories folder | Probably in the working folder , but see the comment. | Read/writable by all users. | This is the location where stories are saved and loaded by users. Note that Story Teller can dynamically create this folder in My Documents or on any user drive via Options>Change network options. |
| Endings, storypicsets and symbols folders. | In working folder - i.e. the folder pointed to by stpath.ssp. | Readable by all users. Writable by teachers if they want to create or edit picture sets. | These folders contain the pictures used by Story Teller. The storypicsets folder will contain about 5000 files and you may wish to delete the original if you have copied it to a new location. |
| Waves folder | In applications folder. | Readable by everyone. | This contains sound files for the verbal promts. |
If there is further information you need, please contact us - we will add it to the above.
Which printer will Story Teller use on my
network?
Story Scaffolds always uses the default printer on your system, you cannot
select a printer from within Story Scaffolds.
When trying to run on MS Vista I get a
huge number of errors about files being unregistered or not available.
Install as 'Admin' and answer yes to any questions about files. Run the
software once as Admin so any files or registry entries that need creating or
updating can be. Now the software should run fine at a more restrictive log in.
