Scratch

I tried 32x32 pixels but it doesn't work.
It showes the same window like the others said.
I also tried 20x20 but it doesn't work too.
When I canceled the error was still shown.

Awesome, I downloaded it (Scratch2Exe).

Is it supposed to make a shortcut on my desktop using the .ico file or is that something else?

Great Job! I'll definitely use this!

Downloaded chirp, and it asked for a .image file... where can I find it? I chose the Scratch image file and it just took me to Scratch

Ok I'll re-download it when I get home, I think I may have messed something up.

Anyway, great job once again!

Thanks for the cool compiler ! Works well on a XP Media Center . I'll try it next on a Vista tablet PC.

bugfix in Scratch2Exe

I just fixed a tiny albeit very annoying glitch in Scratch2Exe: Vista's paranoid UAC-security thing used to require you to execute all compiled Scratch project-exe's as admin. I changed it so now these exe's can be run under Vista on a regular user execution level, without those nagging confirmation/password dialog boxes popping up first.

I advise everyone using Scratch2Exe to download and install it again, even if you're currently not using Vista, so your exe-files will be able to run hassle-free under every Win32 version.

[addendum: This fix makes Scratch2Exe actually somewhat useful, because it lets you run Scratch projects on "locked down" Vista computers which have neither Scratch installed nor internet/java access, and on which you have no admin rights: Just put the compiled Scratch project onto a portable/pluggable media carrier and run it directly from there]

Hi frogy17500,

Scratch2Exe currently works only with projects created in Scratch 1.2.1 or earlier. If you're compiling Scratch v 1.3 (or later) projects you will get the "bad header" error message. I'm planning to update Scratch2Exe sometime soon, so hang on!

Jens, now the 1.3 source code is released... Maybe, if you have some time you could update?

update

I updated Scratch2Exe, so now it works with all Scratch projects (1.3.1 and before). You can download Scratch2Exe here: http://chirp.scratchr.org/dl/ChirpCompiler-setup.exe

Please be aware that compiled projects only run on Windows XP or later, and that the compiler has some issues with pathnames containing apostrophes. Also, please note that Chirp itself is not yet updated to be compatible with Scratch 1.3.

JSO: Feel free to use it for discScratchR.

Enjoy!

Thanks Jens 

For discScratchR I'll be using a modified Scratch image, not the compiler.

I am able to do it my self. (The easiest thing is always quitting, no errors will happen afterwards  )

I just replace the whole exitPresentation thing with

^Smalltalk quitPrimitive

I learned that from the Chirp code...

I've released anew version of discScracthr compatible with 1.3.1! The link is in my signature.

DiscScratchr is a different application then Scratch2Exe, but it is related and you might check if it fits your needs.

it can't read my 1.3 projects!

Hi ferret10 and GoldenAxe,

are you having these problems with Scratch2Exe or with discScratchr?

oi (hi) Jens, I'm using vista and it compiled just fine, there's only two things I dislike, the icon file doesn't work (but then again I was using 50x50 not 32x32) and that a strange  scratch window pops up when I run the new compiled scratch applet, but suddenly closes, and the game runs...

hi, me again. It turns out the icons I was using were made on mspaint and therefor not compatible, but I downloaded a random icon editor, made it 16x16 and it works!
