Hi Toni,
Thank you for contacting us!
I have started to look over this and it looks really interesting.
We normally like to see something up & running before setting up staff accounts
- I see detailed instructions on your site, so I will try as soon as I have
time.
Jon Blake would then look after the setting up of the account, so if you don't
hear back from us in a week or so please jot a line to this list addressed to
him & myself.
To pick up your various notes:
Hosting - as you rightly point out, the books need to be downloaded by the end
reader from the AON website - but it is OK to include a button in the
application for that.
Translation - all languages would need to be the AON translations - only
translations on AON would be covered by the license.
Running from the AON site - I don't see any problems with this - sounds pretty
cool and should work in principle. Once you have an account, you should be able
to get this up & running.
...The files "mechanics-*.xml" are rules system to play the section specific
rules... - I see no problem with this. mecahnic/rule files which do not contain
complete text sections from the book can theoretically be posted anywhere.
...I have used and modified the Spanish Project Aon logo... I doubt there would
be a problem with this, but it is a little on the line, so you may choose to go
with a generic logo for now.
...Can I distribute these files?... - mechanic/rules, I see no problems. Logo -
would be "at your own risk" - I can't directly confirm this one I'm afraid.
For Lone Wolf Saga source code, the best bet is to contact the author directly
- I believe his details at in the app? If you can't track him down, give me a
shout and I'll look around.
I've always had an ambition for a "Common Navigation File" which any book
player could use to decipher the XML book text into machine processable format
- that is a project which is long overdue resurrection!
Finally, if you haven't done so already, please head over to the AON forums -
you will find boards for discussions on ideas & progress.
Shout if I can help any further

Subject: [projectaon] 'Kai Chronicles' books player
Hello,
I'm Toni Bennasar, from Mallorca, Spain. My English is awful, so sorry about it.

1)
I come to write this mail from
https://www.projectaon.org/en/Sanctum/WebAccounts.

As a volunteer developer of software for Project Aon, you can request a web
account on the mailing list which will allow you to host your files on the

I have written a Lone Wolf books player, just for books 1 and 2. The code is at

kaichronicles - Lone Wolf game books player
It's a "player", not just a "reader". It's similar to the "Lone Wolf Saga", but:
* It only supports books 1 and 2 (right now)
* It supports translations (Spanish and English)
* It's a web player (and an Android app, but the app it's just a wrapper of the
web application)
It's entirely written on JavaScript, so nothing is executed on the server.
I cannot distribute the Project Aon book data, so it would like to request to
publish it under the Project Aon domain (the web site and the Android app)
Can I?

2)
I have some concerns about legal issues:
* At https://github.com/tonib/kaichronicles/tree/master/www/data, I have put ;
the game rules. The files "mechanics-*.xml" are rules system to play the
section specific rules. They do not contain anything from the book, but they
are really the books semantics itself.

I have put the objects descriptions (and object effects). This file contains

I have used and modified the Spanish Project Aon logo (I'm a programmer, not
a designer, and my drawing skills are kindergarten level)
[https://github.com/tonib/kaichronicles/blob/master/www/images/logo-white-bg-40.png]
Can I distribute these files?

3)
And this is for my curiosity (too late to do anything about it). I did this
because:
* I played Lone Wolf Saga, I liked soooo much, but I almost cannot understand
advanced English, and it had no Spanish translation
* I wanted to learn some more JavaScript (confirmed: JavaScript is disgusting)
There is a Lone Wolf Saga source code published anywhere?
Thank you and happy new year!
