revServer (again)

2011-11-25 Thread Malte Brill
Hi folks,

after trying to install revServer on an UBUNTU server yesterday (it worked 
flawlessly in my virtual machine of course) I am running into a new problem. It 
seems that the Database external does not bind. The XML external does work on 
the physical machine, however, the database external does not appear to load. 
How would I check if it has been loaded? I tried to do:

put revOpenDatabases() which came back with an error in function error. This 
makes me believe the external has not been loaded. Anyone got an idea what 
might cause this? Any idea how to debug this? Server surely is a different 
beast from desktop.  *sigh*

Any help much appreciated.

Can just repeat as i said before : worked fine for me (both VM and physical 
boxes) under RedHat Enterprise Linux and CentOS. I went unsuccessful under 
other Linux distro (Debian and OpenSuse) to get the PostgreSQL db correctly 
binded to the revServer / LC server installation.

Hi Malte,

One way to check whether the XML external has loaded would be

put the externalCommands of stack Home contains revAddXMLNode

I am not sure that the server has a stack Home but you should be able to use 
the externalCommands.

If it works in Ubunty in a VM, it should also work on an actual server. Have 
you set all permissions correctly?

since the xml works and the database stuff doesn't, sounds like everything
is in the right location but there might be a permissions problem. If the
externalcommands doesn't show the db stuff, list the files in the externals
folder (which should be in the same folder as livecode-server)
ls -la to get a complete list of files with all details, see if permissions
differ for any of the files, and if so make the non-working externals match
the working ones.

or if nothing else, while in there do a sudo chmod 755 *
Which will set read, write, execute for the owner, and read and execute for
group, and everyone on all files in that folder. (will set the perms on the
.txt file in there too but it shouldn't hurt anything.)
Then give it a shot.

Hi,

My externals folder contains another folder with database drivers. I suppose 
this means that the server folder would contain externals plus one folder. 
Therefore, you might want to do

sudo chmod -R 755 *

Re: revServer (again)

2011-11-25 Thread Björnke von Gierke
I'm not 100% sure, but when using invalid syntax with external functions, you 
get the same error as when using them when no externals are loaded (for 
standalones at least). so just issuing revOpenDatabase() with invalid params 
like that, you won't actually find out anything at all.

So the question is, how to find out wether an external is loaded? Sadly that's 
extremely hard to do reliably. It's actually easier to do a fake db call that 
ought to work, for example using this code:

try
  revopendatabase(sqlite,doesRunOrNot.sqlite,,,)
  --make sure your process has writing rights for the files position
end try
if there is no file doesRunOrNot.sqlite then
  put OH NOES!!!
end if

The only other way i know is to find out all mainstacks, and all their 
substacks, then query each for their externals or externalCommands.

I wish there where an application space externalCommands, because after all, 
externals _are_ application wide, and not bound to a single stack in function. 
Especially with server and the way externals work on mobile platforms, where 
they're bound to the home stack (I think, maybe someone can test that).

It was revopendatabases() (plural) that was being used to test I think,

Of course now that I think about it, is the server external identical to

Seamless Tiles 2 stack updated

2011-11-25 Thread Wilhelm Sanke
Just uploaded a slightly updated version of the Seamless Tiles 
Generator 2 to


http://www.sanke.org/Software/SeamlessTiles2.zip

See the descriptions on page Sample Stacks on my website 
http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia.


Among other things this stack features an improved resizable and 
draggable selection graphic that lets you choose a segment of any size 
from the imported source image  to create a seamless tile.


The ink of the selection graphic needed to be adapted both to the 
differences between Windows and MacOS and the stackfileversions 2.4 and 2.7.


With engine versions  2.7 we need admin for MacOS and srcAnd for 
Windows. For engine versions  2.7 and higher srccopy is necessary for 
both platforms to show a transparent graphic.


Moreover, I have changed the stack extension from *.mc to *.rev, to 
enable users of Rev 3.0 to see and load the stack.


See the quote of my earlier post (to the Metacard- and Improve-lists) 
concerning  this special problem:




  Strange change of file associations with Rev 3-gm-3 engine

Wilhelm Sanke
Sat, 20 Sep 2008 11:59:50 -0700

Rev engine 3-gm-2 displays both *.rev and *.mc-files in the open 
stack dialog as Revolution stacks. Engine 3-gm-3 restricts the 
displayed stacks to files with the *.rev extension; even when you 
choose All files the display of mc-files is suppressed, but other 
files like dlls and txt files are shown. It is even impossible to 
enforce the display of mc-files by typing *.mc into the file name 
box of the open stack dialog. Putting the Revolution.exe engine 3-gm-3 
into the Metacard IDE shows the same restrictions: No mc-files are 
displayed. However, when you rename Revolution.exe to MC.exe, both 
Revolution stack-files rev and mc are displayed in the open 
stack dialog - like before in gm-2 with Revolution.exe. This holds 
for both IDEs, the Revolution and the Metacard IDE. The consequence 
for users that primarily work with the Rev IDE - but wish to access 
Metacard files once in a while - would be to rename their Rev engine 
to MC.exe. This works fine within the Rev IDE. 



Regards,

Wilhelm Sanke

[ANN] More about masks (+ sample stack)

2011-11-25 Thread Wilhelm Sanke
Accompanying is a sample stack with a side-by-side comparison of a 
number of approaches produce and use masks and containing most of the 
discussions below with examples:


http://www.sanke.org/Software/MoreAboutMasks.zip

To run the stack you need Rev 2.9 or higher.

As a starter for this overview about how to produce masked images in 
Revolution here is a two-liner:


on mouseup
crop image to-be-masked to the rect of image SelectionOval
set the alphadata of image to-be-masked to the alphadata of image 
SelectionOval

end mouseup

This is the essential core-procedure to create masked images, one of 
several options. Usually such a two-liner would be sandwiched between 
lock screen and hide SelectionOval, and additionally there would be 
procedures in separate buttons that determine what to do with the newly 
masked image, copy it elsewhere, save it as an external file, patch it 
onto another image etc.


Image to-be-masked can be of any format, JPEG, GIF, PNG, image 
SelectionOval must be a PNG of course.
If a graphic is used as a selection tool to determine the area of the 
resulting masked image by capturing the transparency of the graphic with 
a snapshot, it is *not* necessary to group graphic SelectionOval. The 
selection graphics and images in my sample stack *are* all grouped, but 
only because they are combined with a handle-graphic for resizing and 
reshaping, otherwise a grouping of the selection tools as a prerequisite 
to capture transparency is not required.


And, contrary to what the Rev docs state for import snapshot (The 
format of the resulting image depends on the current setting of the 
paintCompression property.), since Rev version 2.7 the resulting images 
are invariably PNGs, irrespective of what the current general setting of 
the paintcompression is, RLE, PNG, or JPEG. Although with pre-2.7 
versions the snapshot images would not be PNGs, their formats are also 
not directly determined by the current paintcompression. 
Paintcompression, however, plays a role for the speed of processing 
imagedata and alphadata, RLE is fastest here, PNG the slowest setting.-


Graphics do contain transparency in the area outside of the shape of the 
graphic, but this transparency is not represented by mask- and alphadata 
properties of the graphic. We have to make detours to get at these data 
or to reconstruct them. I hope that with future versions of Revolution 
graphics will additionally have alphadata and maskdata properties. If 
that would be the case, we could mask images using graphics as selection 
tools with two-liners like in the starter script above, too.


What follows here is mainly an overview of such detours, of different 
attempts to build masks along with the discussion of details and 
possible problems - derived partly from individual experience, but much 
of it is based on the results of a number of offlist-contacts and 
discussions during the last weeks between James Hurley, Bernd Niggemann, 
and myself about problems, solutions, and workarounds concerning the 
creation and application of masks to images. I have also considered the 
onlist exchange between Scott Rossi and myself - at the time after I had 
announced my first sample stack Three Masks. On Ken Ray's website 
(http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/imag009.htm, we 
found the trick to produce transparency with the help of the bucket 
tool. Ken presents a two-liner from Jeanne DeVoto, which I managed to 
integrate into one of the script examples.



==

We could distinguish between two major categories: Creating masks 'on 
the fly' and  Using prefabricated masks.



1. Creating masks on the fly

a) == within-functions==

Jim Hurley has experimented with the native Rev within function to 
produce masks and encountered the edge problem, flat edges appearing 
at the right and bottom of the masked images. Variations of the original 
script did not help to overcome this problem.
Curiously enough, when you reverse the direction of the scan in Jim's 
script, you get the edges on the left and on top.


I found three workarounds for this problem (but not a real solution of 
the basic problem), namely super-imposing the edged alphamasks:


1. Double scan from right and left, and then superimposing the two 
resulting masks.
2. Flipping - by script - the left half of the alphadata onto the right 
half, and the top half onto the bottom half.
3. Capitalizing on the feature that since 2.9 flipped images preserve 
their alphamasks (and flip them also), I run a normal scan, after that 
flip the image horizontally and vertically, get the resulting second 
mask (then return the image to its previous state) and superimpose the 
two masks.


All three workarounds produce masked images without edges.-

Eventually Jim - as an expert in matters of mathematics and geometry - 
has now developed a within ellpse-function on the basis of the 
mathematical properties of an ellipse, which due to the more complex 

LiveCode.tv event needs you

2011-11-25 Thread Björnke von Gierke
As you guys know, the event has been slowly dying since summer.

We do need repeated presenters, people who organise, any kind of participation. 
If you have an idea for a presentation, don't tell us to do it. Instead inform 
us about a date when you will do the presentation. 


Here's a rough approximation of time and things needed for first time 
presenters:
A Windows or Mac computer
A Microphone
At least 300 kilobit down and upload (or accept reduced quality)
Time:
2 hours technical set up before the date
1 hour presentation on the agreed date
Whatever you need to prepare the presentations content

Ask me or mark if you have further questions about how you can help.


thank you for your time

Re: uuencoded

2011-11-25 Thread John Brozycki
Warren,

Although UUENCODE and BASE64 are not the same, there is some similarity and 
newer versions of UUENCODE have the ability to output to BASE64.  If you have 
any control of the image production process, you might be able to output them 
in BASE64, then you can use the base64Decode command in LiveCode.  

If not: I've never tried decoding a uuencoded file with base64Decode, but it 
wouldn't hurt to give it a try.  (I don't think base64Decode will decode 
uuencoded files, but it's possible that the uuencoded files could actually be 
BASE64.)  If this fails, you could shell an external command.  For example, in 
Mac OS X there are built in commands uuencode and uudecode.

Good luck,
John

Thanks for the explanation.  I was just if there were similarities

I think I found a open source that will take care of the UUENCODE and
even yENC which I will require as well.  Am testing it now.

Re: Re: revServer (again)

2011-11-25 Thread Malte Brill
Hi all, thanks for the thoughts!

Björnke, I used put revOpenDatabases(), which ought to work without parameters. 
Also the same code I have been transferring to the physical UBUNTU machine 
works flawlessly in a VM under the same distro of UBUNTU server, under UBUNTU 
Desktop, Mac OS X and Win. So a scripting error is pretty much out of question. 
It must have to do with permissions, or the DB external broke when I moved the 
files to the physical server. I did unzipped the package on the Mac and then 
moved it over, mabe that screwed things. I shall try unzipping on the server. 

Mike: What I found interesting was you talking about some .txt file. There is 
no such file present as far as I can see in the livecode-server 4.6.4 package. 
(Neither in the VM though, so I rule that out).

I really wished we could just apt-get install livecode-server :-). Unlikely to 
happen though. :-/


All the best,

Malte

Oops, the text file reference was a brain fart that was crossing desktop
externals with server. DOH. No text files with server.

As for apt-get, i'm wondering how hard it would be to create your own .deb
 package. (for personal use of course to ease future re-installs) read some
stuff at
http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/How-to-make-deb-packages/
might
not be too bad to do.

Of course, since it won't be used in a repository, might be easier to whip
up an LC app to do the install. (perhaps even an apache front end with file
editor etc)

It would definately be cool though if runrev could offer lcserver in rpm
and deb package formats.
