TADS 3 plugin fails to save games under Zoom 1.1.0

Oops, it seems that due to a bug in CocoaGlk, TADS 3 games are unable to save their contents. If you’re encountering this problem, I’ve written a workaround. You can download an updated version of the TADS 3 plugin here.

To install it, right-click on your copy of Zoom in the Finder, choose ‘Get Info’, then go to the plugins tab and click ‘Add…’: the old plug-in will be replaced and TADS 3 will regain the ability to save games.

The next version of Zoom will incorporate this fix.

    Andrew –

    it’s working now! Thanks! Takes a few seconds to load saved games though. The save file itself is in .dat format. Minor quibble: It does not show up in the “Saves” dialog in the “iFiction” window.
