TADS Creator for Mac 7.5

[SirFoxx]

Are there any programs out that allow me to compile a TADS game for the old 680X0 macs? My friend and I would like to make a simple game, but cannot find any programs besides MaxTADS, which is not able to create games as far as I know.

Try tads240_macos.sit on the following page:

http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXprogrammingXtads2Xexecutables.html

I don't know enough about this to advise much further. 🙁

Will the TADS2DOC.Zip work instead of finding the .SIT file? It supposedly contains overview documentation for TADS, as well as the source for "Ditch Day Drifter, a complete sample game". I am having no luck finding the .SIT version online, but I did find the .ZIP on the IF archive.

As far as I can see, the tads240_macos.sit (which is almost at the bottom of the page) is the only Mac version which allows you to compile a game on an early Mac operating system.

A direct link from that page is here:

TADS Errors

Does anyone know how to write code for TADS anymore? Today, after installing the PPC card in my Q950, I and my friend added a line of code in our game for a simple object, and got a TADS-100 error (invalid token). I managed to get rid of the error code, but only to have all of these errors show up:

The "why" part in the error is the name of the document. I don't know why all of these errors are showing up. On friday, we managed to compile a working "game", but it didn't really have any objects in it except for a few rooms w/ descriptions.
