Scratch

Magnie · 2012-04-02 14:26:55

I was thinking about the April Fools joke and everyone talking about Scratch being renamed to Neigh, though of course it was a joke, but what if there were an actual Mod named "Neigh". I mean, there's already a logo and mascot, so why not? tongue (Though I guess I would need to ask for permission to use the logo and mascot.)

I'm no Scratch Modder (nor do I have any knowledge of Squeak), so if you could explain what code I need to do to change the logo and default sprite, that would be nice. big_smile

I'm mostly thinking of just changing the Logo and default sprite, not adding any blocks. (Though if I feel like it in the future, I might actually add a couple features, but I don't think I will.)

Thanks for your help!

Haha, I was considering doing this myself. For the logo, you can just put Scratch in dev mode, and then alt-click the logo until it just selects the logo. Then click the edit button and import the logo. I dunno about the default sprite but I'd definitely seen tutorials for that around.

Hmm. Well, I've changed the logo and the task-bar title to Neigh 1.0 of 1-April-12. Only items left are the Task-bar icon and the default sprite. Hmm...

For the program icon (taskbar for Win7), use a resource hacker.

To save the default sprite, you find the sprite (picture) and export it, and then save it as default.sprite. When you open it up again, it should have the sprite right there. smile

Where do I save the sprite?

veggieman001 · 2012-04-02 22:17:54

In the same folder as the .image, I believe.

slayerrobe7 · 2012-04-02 22:37:14

i just open it in squeek and delete the sprite that appears than i find the pic i want and it becomes a backround than go to backround and click make a backround and deleate the backround

Doesn't seem to be working then. hmm

I remember seeing a file that had settings like "default_sprite=sprite.sprite" or something. But I don't remember.

Ah, thank you! Now that is done.

Now I guess I need to find a resource hacker thing and modify the program icon.

CreepyToad · 2012-04-02 23:45:19

Now this would be interesting.

I particularly, think that Neigh is annoying.

Use Resource Hacker lol. Then select the first icon group and on the menu it has a replace icon button and just find your icon. After that, do the same for the other two icon groups.

Mmk. That's done now too! Thanks!

So I've changed the icon, logo (have a logo with "Based on Scratch by MIT" just in case I need to switch), default sprite, and I've taken out the "Share Project" menu option and replaced it with the Mesh options. I've change Scratch.ini to Neigh.ini and Scratch.exe to Neigh.exe.

Is there anyway to change ScratchPlugin.dll to NeighPlugin.dll? Renaming alone doesn't work. tongue

Anything else?

You should flip the icon vertically; and add an alpha channel to the icon and logo.

You need to find out which program - the executable, the image, what? - is using the DLL. What is it used for? that might help figure it out. If its the executable, it gets more complicated. It is also more likely the executable, because windows (only?) uses the dlls.

Is there going to be a point of this mod other then it is a spoof on the April 1st prank?

Do you want my gobopony? Or any other sprite edits?

I'm guessing you need to find the name inside the source code

It'll probably just be a spoof. As for the gobopony, I'm not sure. It's a possibility, though I'm not sure if it's worth it.

LiquidMetal · 2012-04-03 21:28:23

I made it already though, I would just need to dig up the link.

Which idea? tongue

veggieman001 · 2012-04-04 18:42:56

Is there any reason why sharing shouldn't be allowed? The mod doesn't change any functionality of Scratch in any way.

chanmanpartyman · 2012-04-04 18:46:23

Awesome. I guess you won't have to delete the "Share" buttons if you don't add any blocks. I'm not sure though, I'd ask one of the Admins, help@scratch.mit.edu doesn't help with mods at the moment (busy with Scratch 2.0). Are you editing it in Squeak or through the Shift+click R thing? I'm doing Shift+click R because it is more comfortable. My mod that I am working on is basically a block extension called Stack. I've had trouble and am sort of using this as a frame of reference.

l-drago100000 · 2012-04-06 07:44:17

Are there going to be new blocks?

I'm thinking about it, though I have no idea how to make blocks. I've followed multiple tutorials and I haven't really gotten any blocks to work.
