Hi Lena,
in which version did you program your experiment, and in which version are you trying to open it now?
Can you upload the experiment here?
Thanks,
eduard
Good question @eduard:-)- T he experiment was finished 12 months ago, but I am unsure which OS Version was the latest at that time. I have attached the file here, however, there are Videos embedded so I am not sure whether there is a possibility to open the file without having a folder with videos to refer to. For us, it would be enough to see the code-we don't necessarily have to rerun the experiment. Thank you already for your support!
Hi Lena,
You created the experiment, or at least ran it for the last time, with OpenSesame 2.9.6. (You can see this by extracting the experiment file with a program like 7zip, and looking at the OpenSesame version at the top of
opensesame.script.)You can download older versions of OpenSesame from GitHub:
