I'm still a little upset about not having a Scratcher status, but I guess making mods doesn't automatically qualify you for Scratcher status. I guess I'll start making mini-games in scratch and uploading them.

Yeah... Almost a year of being a "new scratcher" is quite annoying.

Maybe you ought to use the Contact Us and tell the Scratch Team your other username.  They might promote you if you tell them and show you're already credible.

I agree with Greenatic, this obviously took a lot of effort and time...I'm so happy this finally came out, I've been keeping an eye on this for a while waiting for you to release it!  This mod probably has more useful and original blocks in it than any mod I have ever seen.  Once the glitches are taken care of, this mod will definitely be up there with the other "great" mods (BYOB, Panther, etc...)!  Keep up the good work!

Once the glitches are fixed, it will be better than both.  And I know dreamod is quite good at Squeak, from the block importer--I'm sure they will be fixed.

wow, thank you. I'm flattered. I've got to confess that I did take a little stuff from both, but I tried to keep most of it original. For example, the [write [] to file []] block is actually different. If you put an image in it instead of text, it will save an image file instead. Also works with sounds, sprites, and other objects. Also, I'm intending on making Dream compatible with both Panther and BYOB.

I can understand making it compatible with Panther; Panther custom blocks use Squeak code.  But how can you make it compatible with BYOB?  BYOB custom blocks are built from existing blocks, or custom ones already made by the same process.

Dream has procedures. I'll use the custom block information to create procedures with that name, and script. Procedures are the equivalent of custom blocks. Am I clear?

But BYOB doesn't have file blocks.  How can you build those, without adding new Squeak code (which I don't believe you can)?

It's not backwards compatible. What I mean is that it will be able to open byob project files and panther project files, but not save.

You can. Right-click on a block and click on edit elements. Ta-da! 

I would love to see any projects made in dream.

That's exactly the same thing as

set [Path Desination] to <[Paths] contains (Pera file.mng)>

Wow, very very cool! Must have been hard to make.

Well good to make fun complex things that could be simple.    Complex looks better.

So i was fooling around in dream 1.0 beta and made this complex block: http://oi45.tinypic.com/i3x4ko.jpg and the block is very special and the reporter with no block will say "Error! Message not understood: complexObject". If possibly this is a glitch or i put it together wrong. But i am making more and more complex blocks in dream than i could in just scratch. Keep up the good work dreamod!
:3

you know, I have taken a few list stuff from byob, but I might not have fully implemented it. Thanks for reporting your glitch. I'll remember to fix the lists.

K I hope you make it better than eva!

Thanks. btw, nice sig.

Is there anyway to view this on a Windows? 

I can only download the IMAGE file and notepad codes.
