Customization Guide

To customize the ODD ORACLE template, start by downloading the .zip file from Itch and extracting it into a regular folder. Open Twine and import the index.html file. It is crucial to follow the tutorial for changing the IFID in the “StoryInit” passage. Here, you can edit variables and arrays to replace the default themes, characters, and genres with your own categories and concepts, ensuring consistency across all passages.

For custom images, replace the default files in the Oracle’s local images subfolder with your preferred images, using the same filenames and formats. If you are comfortable with CSS and JavaScript, you can also modify the Story Stylesheet or Story JavaScript, but ensure that any changes to CSS selectors are reflected in the passage HTML. Finally, publish the changes to a file and review the build.
