Scratch

Thanks!

Now I have another question. How exactly do I get to the source code? Through searching for files on my computer, or through Scratch?

is it in the source code or normal scratch?

I'm confused. I just want to know how I get to the source code.I need to paste some coding there.

did you download the source file or do you want to pu the code in the normal scratch?

I need to place the ScratchSkin in the source code, but I don't know how to get to the source code.

ProgrammingFreak wrote:

k, I guess you are using normal scratch. goto it and chift+click the r in 'Scratch' a menu pops up. press turn fill screen off

I know how to do that...

I have resurrected a few obsolete blocks, etc.

I just need to know the location of the files. Through the browser.

Scratch - Objects  then ScriptableScratchMorph then blockspecs then blockspecs

I did that, created my own topic, etc. Nothing appears...

Besides, I think that just changes the way a block looks and what it will do.

You need to program what it does when it does what it does  in the source code, which is where I need to put the ScratchSkin.

Bump!

Help with locating the source code?

Okay, another question. In the instructions given by LS97 at the link provided by ProgrammingFreak, I am told to add 2 or 4. I am confused about this (and about the fact all the other categories disappeared!)

Scratch Documentation on Source.
You download the ScratchSkin and the ScratchSource, and extract it all to one folder.

(If the ScratchSkin is not in a folder, but a lot of pics, then save it to a folder named ScratchSkin (MUST STAY THAT NAME))

Then,
1. Copy everything except Scratch.image and save it to your new Scratch Source folder.
2. Open theScratch Source Code
3. Select the Workspace
4. Delete all the text in it
5. Follow the instructions on this page.
*Where it says ScratchFrameMorph readSkinFrom: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'ScratchSkin', add a parenthesis ( a ) )  before doing the next step.*
6. If something goes correct, shift click File, then Save Image
        Then Reboot.
7. If something goes WRONG, like you showed, then quit, wait 25 seconds, then try again. 

8. Ask in this thread if you need more assistance.

Okay, I keep trying to run it, and I've even deleted everythign and started again, but it keeps doing this:

I type the ScratchSkin code into the workspace and do it. Then it expects a  right parentheses, so I put one there and it does it.

Now the striped background (where you stack blocks) starts disappearing wherever a window was.

Now if edit the UI Panes to say my category, nothing changes. I update the ScratchSkin again.

If I click on one of the categories, a red alert window pops up saying there is an issue involving ScratchSkin. I don't even know where the bug is, so I can't fix it. (Oddly enough, when I click on the Pen category nothing changes.)

So after this happens, I shift-click R and select save image for end user. Now another window pops up and tells me - surprise - there is an error in the ScratchSkin. And then all the categories disappear, and I figure I'm screwed so I cross out without saving.

Please help, I feel like deleting the Scratch application altogether right now.
