I have used a Belkin Nostromo Gamepad n52 for about 3 years as a 
programming aid

to stop me getting sore wrists.

All USB devices will send some sort of keyDown signals and/or pointer 
movements
to the system; as long as you can interpret those keyDowns inside your 
stack there is

no earthly reason why your USB device won't work with RunRev.

Why would you want to run a Windows standalone under WINE on Linux when
it is perfectly possible to make a Linux standalone?

Hiya,

Have you tried installing the Linux version of Rev on PC-BSD? I run  
the system, but not for development, and am wondering if the Linux  
compatibility layer may be a better option. Unless you're trying to  
do something else...

I don't think that's right. Each USB device identifies what "class" of device 
it is, and the host device (computer) loads the appropriate driver. One such 
class is Human Interface Device which covers keyboards, mice, etc. If the 
device is of that class, then you should be able to get key messages. But there 
are other classes (Audio, Communications, Vendor Specific, etc.) where key 
messages probably aren't sent.

Yes, you are right; I'm sorry, I was thinking only of the class of USB 
devices such as:


Mice,
Keyboards,
Gamepads.
Dancepads,
Trackballs,
Joysticks,
Steering wheels,
Foot pedals,

and so on (data entry USB devices - I suppose).

The situation ca be complicated; for instance

my Belkin Nostromo n52 (now obsolete, but c.f.  
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=390404 )
requires settings to be set outwith the target program before it can 
interact with that program.


I had to set up a settings file called "Revolution" using the Nostromo 
Preference Pane (Mac OS X) so that

when I pressed button 06 it would paste from the clipboard.

If you are 'just' developing your stack for your own use then you should 
have no problems, but, in the
case of authoring for other end users who may have USB devices with 
user-editable settings you will

be up a gum tree.

Apart from my 'blah' above; the thing to know is whether your target USB 
device has USER-EDITABLE settings.

Re: USB dance-pad with Rev?

Sorry Richmond but it should not matter about user definable keys or  
not, as the device driver should be monitoring that and then sending  
the appropriate message to the receiving applications..


In theory you can get an external to listen to the messages sent by  
the system, but as demonstrated in my recent external there are issues  
(on the Mac anyways) with the compiled application engine and  
listening for (some?) external events..

I wanted to point here that the content of the variable returned by
the compiler is truncated. I had not in mind that the compiler was not
able to determine where the error occured.

More I think to that more I believe that the two things are linked.
Surely I'm totally wrong in the interpretation of how the compiler
could operate, but it possible that because the variable which cause
problem is composed by more than one line, it's confused the scope of
the compiler because it can found the correct line between two lines.

It could be interresting that the compiler indicates somehow a
variable is truncated to help the debugging. Maybe an improvement to
bring in a future version of RR.

Yes it's true. Thanks to correct me Jacque. However when I tested it's
well 1020&return&1024 that I obtained.
It seems that "the working screenRects" takes care the direction in
which the first monitor is extended to the second.

Re: Inconsistent bottomLeft behavior

[Larry Snider]

This was exactly the case.  The output of

put "the working screenRects :" && the working screenRects & CR into msg box
put "the screenRects :" && the screenRects & CR into msg box

is

the working screen Rects : 0,0,1680,1020
1680,24,2960,824
the screenRects : 0,0,1680,1050
1680,24,2960,824


So putting "line 1 of" ... in there worked like it was supposed to
work.  That also makes sense that the compiler could not identify the
line since it was multi-lined data.  However, the compiler's code
should be changed to account for this, as well as the
documentation/dictionary.

[ANN] ssMacWindows 1.5.1

[Shao Sean]

Just a small update, pretty much only good for 2.8 users

- fixed some issues with the demo stack
- added proxy menus for Revolution 2.8 compiled applications (see below)
- discovered that ssRegisterForVolumeEvents and  
ssRegisterForHotKeyEvents work in Revolution 2.8 compiled applications  
as well


More information and download at < http://shaosean.tk/ >


I am not certain what happened after 2.8 but it seems something not  
good happened to the engine (both the IDE one and the compiled app  
one)..


Why proxy menus do not work past 2.8

Someone poke Phil Davis, he's the king of Rev and USB and done some very
interesting work.

Some makers do produce SDKs for use with the device, though a lot of them
are for C++ developers. If it does have such an SDK, it may be possible to
write a Revolution external.

Re: USB dance-pad with Rev?

[Björnke von Gierke]

Another boon is that usb developers are lazy (like all developers). Thus they 
often use some standard lib for their device, especially if it isn't a network 
adapter or other exotic device. 

and the most standardised libs are:
disk space (USB memory stick or HD)
user interface (mouses, keyboard, ...)
serial over usb

so it might be worth a shot to check the drivernames when you connect your 
device or before and after you install relevant drivers...

of course this is pretty much a shot into the dark...

You're right. I don't have two monitors connected so I guessed wrong. I 
think Larry should send his extra monitor to me instead of you. :)


Congratulations on correctly diagnosing the problem.




But the line number in the error message should not be "n/a" in any case.
There is something wrong there.


Really


Well, just to make things more interesting, I got the same "n/a" error 
yesterday in one of my own scripts. I had changed only a single line and 
that was the one which was broken but the compiler didn't know it. 
Something has changed in recent versions of the Rev engine, I think.

FWIW, if you use screenRect (singular), you get a single line for the
primary display.

[ANN] tRev Gets Better PDF Docs, Enhanced Scratch Pad Editing (video)

[Jerry Daniels]

tRev users,

We have just updated the documentation for tRev to accomodate the new  
Scratch Pad feature with its new window style and multi-instance  
architecture. Here's the link to a page with links to the Quickstart  
guide and the Shortcuts.


http://reveditor.com/trev-quickstart-shortcuts-now-on-iworkcom

These nice little PDFs are hosted on iWork.com and view really well,  
let you download them or print them. Best of all, there is no log-in  
of any sort required.


We've also enhanced the Scratch Pad editing process so that it's done  
directly--without the inconvenience of a separate editor. I have a  
super-short video showing how to edit and annotate your links in the  
Scratch Pad. Here's the link:

PostgreSQL help

[Alex Adams]

I have successfully setup a runRev application to work with PosgreSQL on
localhost of the same machine that is running the runRev app (OS X).

Now I am ready to connect to a fresh PostgreSQL install on a Vista machine
on the LAN.  I am trying to use Navicat to move the database from the
localhost to the new server installation.  I can¹t make the connection.  I
can ping from one machine to the other, but I can¹t get a response from
Postgres.  The services are running.  Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

I know that this is a very basic question with a lot of variables to the
specific installations here, but I need to learn how to do this smoothly and
easily.  I expect to host many, many of these Postgres database on hosted
installations, perhaps virtual servers, on the net.

Any guidance would be appreciated and any reference works for my education
would be appreciated also.  I am an experienced database user.  I am
familiar with MS SQL Server, Openbase, Frontbase, and SQLite.  This is my
first time with Postgres.

Thanks,

Re: USB dance-pad with Rev?

[Phil Davis]

Yes, what Björnke (and Dave C) said is true - in USB termonology the 
device interaction requirements are defined by the class it belongs to.


   * Mass Storage class = flash drives etc. Rev lists them in "the volumes"

   * Communications class = Björnke's "serial over USB" - controller
 boards, modems etc that have a command set of their own. These
 usually have drivers that Rev lists in "the driverNames" although
 they don't always get listed. (I have a 'deviceNames()' function
 somewhere (thanks to Dar Scott and Ken Ray) that returns a more
 complete list - I'll see if I can dig it out and post it.) These
 require that you open driver / read from driver / write to driver
 / close driver. I learned a lot from Sarah Reichelt about working
 with this device type. Here is a description of her work with one
 such device:
   http://www.pdslabs.net/usb/rev-usb1.pdf

   * HID class = keyboards, mice etc.

There are about a dozen USB device classes in all, but the ones listed 
above are the ones most relevant to the current discussion.

On 1/14/10 8:15 AM, Björnke von Gierke wrote:

Another boon is that usb developers are lazy (like all developers). Thus they 
often use some standard lib for their device, especially if it isn't a network 
adapter or other exotic device.

and the most standardised libs are:
disk space (USB memory stick or HD)
user interface (mouses, keyboard, ...)
serial over usb

so it might be worth a shot to check the drivernames when you connect your 
device or before and after you install relevant drivers...

of course this is pretty much a shot into the dark...

Rev + PNG Display on OS X 10.6

[Scott Rossi]

This might be useful for folks delivering image-heavy apps on Mac OS X 10.6
and later...

Apparently with Snow Leopard, Apple has changed the default gamma of the
system to 2.2 (used to be 1.8).



I was recently throwing some PNG images on a card on Rev that looked
significantly darker than where they were created (in Photoshop), and for
the life of me could not figure out why.  I'm still searching for a reliable
way to strip the gamma information from PNG images, but after finding the
above article, I tried changing the screenGamma in Rev to 2.2 and amazingly
(or maybe expectedly) the image seems to display properly.

 set the screenGamma to 2.2

I need to do some more testing, but it appears that when delivering apps on
Snow Leopard that make heavy use of PNGs, one will need to do something to
the effect of:

 if "mac" is in platform() and systemVersion() > 10.5 then ...

Also used the following method to force refresh the display of the image:

 set text of img 1 to text of img 1

Hope this saves some head banging for other folks using images.

Images when setting the htmlText of a field

[Ray Horsley]

Greetings,

I've tried setting the htmlText of a fld to this html (below) both URL  
encoding the image path and by leaving in plain text (with spaces).   
Neither way displays the image.  Nonetheless, if I save this as a file  
and open it in Explorer or Safari (on my Mac) the image is displayed  
perfectly.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?


Thanks,

Re: PostgreSQL help

[Pierre Sahores]

See inside your windows PostgreSQL directory where to find the  
Pg_hba.conf file and just add your navicat host IP as a trusted host.





The Pg_hba.conf file is, by default, set to accept localhost  
connexions only.

Ok, I'm sorry.

Looked at the standalone builder for RR 4 on Mac and it only offers 
Linux (with 2 other options oddly greyed out)

apart from Mac and Windows.

However just cracked out RR 2.0.1 (Back to the Michael J. Fox) and see 
that the standalone builder offers

BSD.

Now I was even poorer than I am at present before I got hold of RR 4, 
so, honestly cannot recall at what version

RunRev stopped offering a BSD standalone option.

Now might be the time to start making "noises" about that option having 
been dropped . . .


These options have been dropped, somewhere along the road:

BSD
HP-UX
Iris
RS/6000
SPARC Solaris
SPARC
Solaris
Mac OS fat
Mac OS PPC
Mac OS 68  (last 3 are for Mac systems 7 to 9)
(Alternatively you could "get hold of" RunRev 2.0.1 - last free limited 
version - and, if your stack is
fairly 'primitive' - i.e. doesn't use anything post 2.0.1 - use that to 
pump out a BSD standalone).


Solaris Intel   and
Solaris SPA   are greyed out in both my Mac and my Linux versions of RR 
Studio

(maybe they are possible from Enterprise).

Sorry for asking what seems to me a blazingly obvious question . . . but!

 


Yup, the question should have been pointed at RunRev and should have 
gone like this:


"I thought you supported all sorts of platforms which you seem to have 
quietly dropped

without bothering to tell us that?"

As an EFL teacher I love 'Compare and Contrast' exercises, here's one:

Compare:

"Revolution is a leading software development solution for all major 
platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and many more."


[ http://web.archive.org/web/20021124092402/http://runrev.com/ ]

with:

"Flexible platform creates applications that run on the Web, desktop or 
server, for the PC, Mac or Linux."


[ http://www.runrev.com/products/the-rev-platform/overview/ ]

No Cambridge Proficiency Certificates for spotting the difference there!

Now the funny thing is that a few years ago there was a lot of talk 
about how RunRev were planning
to reach out to an increasing number of platforms / Operating systems 
(I'm waiting for RISC OS);

but what I see is quite the reverse.

Probably a money thing . . .   :)

AnimationEngine Arcade "shooter" strategy?

[John Patten]

Hi All...

Trying to come up with a "simple" arcade shooter type game.  I'm using  
Animation Engine. I would like to be able to aim a cannon (button that  
switches icon based on the FindAngle of canon and mouseLoc)  at a  
moving target (img) and then check for collision between projectile  
and target.


1. I can animate the canon rotation with FindAngle, however will  
probably need to rename images so direction of cannon matches angle  
returned.


2. I (think) understand the AE collision too..

3. What I'm having trouble with is understanding how to animate and  
direct the projectile, based on the direction of the canon. So many of  
the AE examples are based on a path, that I assume I will need to  
create a path, line (invisible),  between the canon and the proposed  
target. Creating the first point of that line is pretty straight  
forward, however, determining the angle of the canon's muzzle (canons  
have muzzles?) and the complimentary angle of the line and the  
intended target, a point farther down the line, feels way beyond my  
skills.


Would it be wise to have the user drag a marker, something like a  
"cross-hair" image, to a screen location to represent the user's  
proposed aim, and then get the loc of the cross hair image and then  
the loc of the cannon to create the line path? Or are their better  
ways of doing what I'm trying?



Thank you!

John Patten

Hi,

Did you set-up your remote PostgreSQL to accept non-localhost
connexions too (hba.conf) ?

Best,

Re: an interesting challenge

OK Here goes my theory. He had just joined the lists, was getting ready to 
enter his first email, when the doorbell rang. He got up to answer the door, 
kneed the desk where his coffee was sitting right next to his keyboard, went to 
catch it, startled the cat who ran across his keyboard and just caught the 
mouse button on his way by, which happened to be pointing at the "Send" button 
in his email program. 

Can anyone do better?

That's because for the French, talking is much like exploring is for the

Re: an interesting challenge

[Brian Yennie]

I believe the message was encoded using the following compression  
algorithm:


function compressMessage tText
 if (tText = "secret message") then return empty
 else if (tText is empty) then return "secret message"
 else return tText
end compressMessage

Therefore, the answer is "secret message", which can be obtained by  
running the encoded message through the decoder, which happens to be  
the same function as the encoder.


Pretty sure that's it. Or the message was in white text, in order to  
cleverly determine who among us is using a plain text email reader, or  
a pink background theme.

I still have a copy of it.
The question is if it will work with kde?
Or rather lets put it like this, Run Rev should put back the capebilities
for BSD (and kde).

mouseStillDown - Problem for trapping the mouse btn number

[zryip theSlug]

Hi all,

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't trap the mouse button
number in a mouseStillDown handler.

local lmyLoop

on mouseStillDown pMouseBtnNumber
   add 1 to lmyLoop
   put "Test "&&lmyLoop&&"Button pressed"&&pMouseBtnNumber into fld "Field"
end mouseStillDown

My pMouseBtnNumber remains desperately empty...


I missed something ?

Operating systems : Mac OS X 10.5.5 and Windows XP Pro sp 2
Run Rev version : Enterprise 4.5

Re: AnimationEngine Arcade "shooter" strategy?

[Malte Pfaff-Brill]

Hi John,

if you use AE 2.9 or higher, aeMoveTo is your friend.

aeMoveTo is a one line command that moves your object. it automatically sets up 
the needed timer to move the object and moves it from its current location to 
an end point you specify. You can apply an easing effect to the movement, which 
makes it look quite nicely. Also, aeMoveTo sends callback messages, while the 
object is moving.

Here is a starter. Assumes AE is in use and a button "projectile" and a button 
"target" exist. Also an image "cannon" Script is in the card:

on mouseDown
   set the loc of btn "projectile" to the loc of image "cannon"
   shoot
end mouseDown

on shoot
   aeMoveTo the long ID of btn "projectile",the mouseLoc,400,"inOut"
end shoot

on aeEnterFrame
   if intersect(btn "projectile",btn "target") then
  --more sophisticated collision detection goes here
  put "boom"
   end if
end aeEnterFrame

Hope that helps,

Re: answer command in .irev file

[stephen barncard]

ON-Rev is a server side technology - that means it could never bring up a
dialog - it's headless, like PHP. You have the groovyness of Transcript, the
language on a server. VEry useful.
For dialogs and other client-side action, one must use Javascript and rev in
combination for input, or use forms. This is still the html-ruled world.
Examples abound. Check http://www.troz.net/rev/

If one wants to make a 'thing' with all the interface goodness of runrev -
create a plugin.

no other language/builder offers all of these ways

Here is an On-Rev command that I use to create a JavaScript dialog,
similar to an answer dialog:

command doAlert tData
   put "alert('" & tData & "')" after tJScommand

   put tJScommand
end doAlert


Use it like this:

doAlert "This is just like an answer dialog."


But don't forget that you can "put" anything on to your web page,
including the contents of a text file.

Sarah
