Scratch

Does the black dos boxes keep on your screen?

Normally they should dissappear automatically.

btw, it's not C, but dos.

Very strange.
You might want to post a screenshot of what you see after running discScratchr without closing dos windows manually. It might help.

Another thing might be the scripts are not really finished. Scripts activated to run things - like the explorer or the autorun.exe program - are not finished when the started program is not "finished" yet. For example, the script started when you check "I want to watch the result now" will only close when you close your menu.

However, when discScratchr is running from a disc (or when you manually start autorun.exe) there should be no "continuously shown" dos scripts.

The download link seems to be broken. JSO, could you post a new one please?

Download works fine for me at this moment...

Probably the skynet servers had some trouble (they usually have) 

Wait a moment and... Try again! (wow - that could be a Windows error message!)

While there used to be an image link to the download, the PunBB upgrade seemed to take all forum images and turn them into <image>, which links to the original image on a new page. Could you please add a text link?

NOTE: Discscratchr 0.5 does not supports 1.3 projects yet. please be patient until I finish a new version.

discScratchr is a standalone program which converts multiple Scratch projects into an autorun disc. (at least the exact files for a disc - you have to burn them yourselves). Including a nice looking menu, automatic full screen startup etc. The disc can run on it's own, you don't need Scratch or Chirp to use the disc.

To run discScratchr, run wizard.exe in the discScratchr installation folder.

discScratchr uses Jens' Chirp chirp.scratchr.org for running the Scratch project files.

I posted this in advanced topics because it is still a beta, and i would like to know how to improve it functions, compatibility,...)

DiscScratchr should work for Windows ME,2000,XP,Vista
It is tested on vista - this does not works. I will try to fix it soon.

It is recommended to extract it in Program files or even directly on a drive (C:\discScratchr for example), when i ran it from my documents it crashed - the batch files won't startup from the .exe(s)

Flash source files are included in data\source, feel free to change.

When you say it wont work for 1.3 do you mean if that it has the new blocks in?

can you finish the 1.3 soon?

you say it worked on your vista computer right? where did you find your projects writen on scratch? ive looked under C:programfiles/sratch/projects, nothing. I ran a search on program files, nothing. ran a search on my C drive, nothing. I ran a search on my whole computer, nothing. i included hidden files as well, but all i could find was the sample projects

can you download it on a Mac Mini?

finnaly got it to wrok  , it everything is great, excpt in some of my projects it gave me a header error, the project cotains no lists thou, but was made in V1.3 of scratch. Is it because everything was remade in 1.3, or is it just a diffrent type of error?

i know how every one can make it work on 1.3! just delete the image file for scratch then add the 1.3 image file!

No it won't.

I used a tweaked image file made by Jens so it would start in presentation mode emmediatly when you start it.

Nevermind, Firefox is being much more cooperative. But other IE users might have the same problem.
