Before I forget, i've made some changes to the plugin api, the new docs will be uploaded later today,... need food now...

This is the last Beta with new features, so Girder 3.1 can stabilize from now on. Although it feels solid already.

[Ron]

Ah you'll need the microsoft installer.

Hmm, maybe not. Looks like I have to make an installer for this. Dear Microsoft, please provide an installer for your software, thank you.

Could someone please test if this install of the speech runtime works ?

I've noticed that reordering the tree is tricky, i'll look into that.

And the eventstring should not nest, i'll look into that.

Also event string should not be deleted when they are dropped on themselves.

[Ron]

How on earth did you get an nested eventstring ?

[Ron]

I see, yeah thats what I understood from you previous question. I also found the problem now.... ( its still in beta 6 ) but i'm fixing it now.

[Ron]

Go ahead :smile: Beta 7 is released.

New feature: worked on the dropping in treeview.
Replaced old change resolution function, now allows free resolution changing!

Specify resolution like this
640x480x8@74
this means:
Horizontal 640
Vertical 480
8 bit per pixels = 256 colors
74 Herz refresh

[Ron]

Okay double clicking on a plugin on the plugin tab will cause an access violation, just use the settings button next to it for now. Will be fixed in next release.

Hi Mike, could you give some more details ?

Hi Ron, beta 5 of 3.1.0 is excellent, thanks again for such a great program and all the time you've put into it.

I've noticed a bug, don't know whether you've seen it. It has to do with dragging eventstrings around... when an eventstring is dragged onto itself, it is deleted. Should this happen? Also, if an eventstring is dragged onto a nested eventstring (ie an eventstring nested under another eventstring - why do we need this btw?), sometimes girder crashes and exits. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it doesn't happen every time for some reason.

I also thought of a feature which may prove useful when changing the order of groups and commands in the tree structure. The extra nesting that is now possible also makes it difficult to accurately reorder the tree elements. I suggest using a hotkey in combination with the up/down arrows to reorder tree elements, so that when a tree element is selected, if the hotkey is pressed then up/down arrows, the element moves up or down the structure accordingly.

Thanks again, keep up the good work!

Ron,

I got a nested eventstring simply by dragging one eventstring onto another (quite by accident actually). This resulted in a structure like:
. eventstring
. |
. +-- eventstring

That is what I mean by "nested event string", sorry if it was unclear.

Ron, I can send you a .gml file if you need an example...

[gfee]

I'll look forward to testing beta 7!

I have also noticed it crash without any noticable syptoms. Both times I have been moving stuff about in the tree I think.

Mike

[jediperry]

If I could remember I would :smile:. I'll play arround and try and get it to happen again.

Great update! I just can't figure out what to do with the .msm speech file that you linked to above. How do you install/use it.

Thanks
