Scratch

I have decided on a name for the open source version: OOPS. the thread is here: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=78046

open-browser-ScratchUIPanes-ScratchFrameMorph-private and replace the coding of update project name with:
updateProjectName
    | t1 |
    projectName ifNil: [projectName _ ''].
    projectTitleMorph contents: (self nameFromFileName: projectName).
    projectTitleMorph contents size > 0
        ifTrue: [t1 _ projectTitleMorph contents , '- (name of mod)']
        ifFalse: [t1 _ '(Whatever you want the title bar to be)'].
    ScratchPlugin primSetWindowTitle: t1.
    self fixLayout

Oh i thought you meant the title bar at the very top that on regular Scratch says: Scratch 1.4 of (date). I think you have to do something with the scratch skin for the 'based on scratch' title.

Ah, I see I inserted another Sketch. Now the mod has a visible name.

Thank you!

A really interesting thread. I have the same problem changing the default sprite. But I do not understand exactly:

name it defaultsprite or something but it is not permanent

What is ment with permanent?  Isn't the defaultsprite loaded every time the mod is started?
By the way which directory I have to save the defaultsprite?

How do I

change the skin

?

Change the skin like I did with the "based on scratch" sketch does not work. But cetainly I misunderstood your words.

Perhaps it is better to tell what is my problem:
I'd like to have a default sprite named "NXT" that is loaded as the first sprite when the mod is started. Furthermore it would be great if this first sprite is undeletable.

Too many people are asking, on different forum threads, questions like how do i load my skin? This post aims at keeping this forum clean and answering all those FAQs that annoy experienced modders. just link the users to

Code:

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).

before u open the workspace, edit anything you want in the ScratchSkin folder...

Thank you nathanprocks!
Defaultsprite is changed now. Hope noone gets annoyed answering the always repeating questions from newbies like me.

One thing is left. Teh defaultssprite name is still Sprite1 and it is deletable. Perhaps someone can help me.

By the way: Is there a place those newbie questions are answered like in a wiki? I know the faq but couldn't find the topic you have posted.

did u change the scratch skin? if you did then u do not need a defaultsprite file... and after u have loaded the skin u do not need the ScratchSkin folder unless u want to edit other parts of the skin

Sorry my post wasn't clear enough. I changed the skin and the sprite loaded as default is now changed. Everything oK about that.

But the name of this (new) default sprite is set by scratch as "Sprite1". As you load a second sprite this is named automatically "Sprite2". I'd like to have another name for the first sprite: "NXT" instead of "Sprite1".
In addition the first sprite should not be deletable from within the usermode of the mod. If a user right-clicks on the "NXT"-sprite he shall not find the entry "delete" in the little pop-up menu. There should always be a sprite named "NXT" in the mod.

Hope that's makes my point visible.

P.S. If anybody knows how to call the say:duration:... method I would like to hear. Or better: How to make a pop-up-message-window. That the sprite says that it is not deletable is somehow strange.

Found this:

[DialogBoxMorph warn: 'Test this'.] fork.

gives a pop-up messagebox and the execution of the script is not interrupted.
