Most of the major mods don't have any scratch skin folders, so how did they get the new catagories.

They deleted the ScratchSkin after they were finished with loading and adding.

How to change your spelling of catagory

Translated: How to change your spelling of 'category'?

johnnydean1 · 2011-06-17 13:31:25

It should be spelt catagory.

And how to change all the blocks' colours in a catagory.

Category, rdococ's right. Get a dictionary before you correct someone with something that's wrong.

johnnydean1 · 2011-06-17 14:32:10

I meant I think it should be spelt catagory.

I think we're having some problems with E's and A's here... I found it rather funny, but can we get back on topic (or at least not discus E's and A's)?

There's definitely something wrong with that code.
When I fix the small problem (no end parenthesis) and run, it flashes between normal cursor and glasses cursor and after a few seconds, nothing happens.
Save image for end user, open it again, skin not changed.
ScratchSkin folder is in same folder as the Squeak image.

Thanks for the info but the blocks within the group appears in red, how do you change the block colors for that group?

Code:
[url]http://tiny.cc/vfaq[/url]
Contents:
1. Loading the skin
2. Adding categories
--------------------------------
1. Loading the skin
IMPORTANT: always use the source code not scratch 1.4!
- download the skin here
- place it in the scratch source code folder and name it ScratchSkin.
- shift-click-r and open a workspace (world menu -> open -> workspace)
- type this code into it:
ScratchFrameMorph readSkinFrom: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'ScratchSkin'
- select that text, right-click and click 'do it'.
- repeat these steps each time you need to load the skin for some reason.

2. Adding categories
- edit the skin first: copy the files called control, controlPressed, controlOver and paste them with the names yourcategory, yourcategoryOver, yourcategorypressed.
- use any graphics editing software to change the color of the buttons (optional)
- load the skin (see chapter 1)
- in the scratch browser (see shift-click-r in wiki), go to Scratch-UI-Panes, ScratchViewerMorph, all, rebuildCategorySelectors.
- you'll see a list with all of the existing category names. add yours (add 2 or 4).

When I added a category,if I opened scratch,I got an error: key not found

I just saw that you hadn't put it in there, and had instructed the user to put an even number of categories.
i know, just couldn't be bothered to write all that stuff

They should make it so that you only get the 60-second rule if you've been caught spamming.

Also. Thanks! I think there should be likes for forums. I would sure like this.

It should be stickied!

shadowmouse · 2013-02-22 11:28:18

I'm trying this out for the first time. I have the scratchskin (modified with 2 copied of Control, Control presed, and Control Overbecause it said to add wo or 4 categories) and teh scratch source ode both in the same folder. I couldn't get the scratchskin to go, and stay, off read-only. But I did what it said and pressed proceed until it did it. I then added two categories to the liist of the pre-existing 8, but I can't find out how to save the two new categories. I tried save image in user mode but it didn't add the categories and now when I go back into user mode, the browser and workspace are behind teh scratch window and I can't bring them to the front. Help please.

shadowmouse · 2013-02-22 14:02:23

I've solved the problem with the browser being behind the scratch window, my computer must have just got stuck, but how do you implement what you've put into the system browser. I typed in 2 new categories and it didn't do anything even when I reloaded the skin.

LS97 · 2013-02-23 03:03:56

You will have to shift click the loop in the R and click save image for end user.
Make sure you have a backup of the image!

shadowmouse · 2013-02-23 08:15:18

I'm using the source code so there is no loop in the R. But I've done exactly what you said, added two categories, both are in the skin, clicked do it on the rebuild category selectors, it then came up with unknown variable pne, then unknown variable rebuild category selectors and then when it did it and I reloaded the skin, nothing had changed. I then save image to user mode and it just closed down. What am I doing wrong?

shadowmouse · 2013-02-23 08:19:55

*unknown variable pen

How do you add blocks to the categories???

Then, when you open it again, it should work...

shadowmouse · 2013-02-24 05:57:01

Nope. I open it again and it's got 10 categories in the system browser but only 8 on the scratch window. Then when I try to go to a different part of the system browser (to add blocks for example) it just says 'Cahnges have not been saved. Is it O.K. to cancel these changes?' and when I say no it keeps me on rebuild category selectors. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious and thanks for the help so far.

shadowmouse · 2013-02-24 06:31:19

Now it says that Squeak does not have the write permission to change the ScratchSourceCode1.4.changes even though when I check security in properties, it says that I have full control for the changes file. What's wrong this time?

jslomba · 2013-02-24 09:02:01

you need to right-click and click "accept" every time you make a change in the system browser

shadowmouse · 2013-02-24 10:18:32

Thanks, but it still comes up with an error (key not found) when I try to save it.

The write control problem is that you had two copies of Squeak open, so one of them was keeping the changes file read-only.
