  • Hi @gerhono That’s curious... I also tried replacing mono with arial in the general script, and the text still showed up normally in the control view. I'm not sure what could be causing the issue on your end. Could you share a few more details abou…
  • Hi @gerhono Thanks for the update, I’m sure it’ll come in handy for others facing similar issues with touch screen setups! Cheers, Claire
  • Hi @gerhono I tried to reproduce the issue you described, but couldn't. Which font family did you use as a replacement? That might help pinpoint the problem. Best, Claire
  • Hi @gerhono I'm not sure why it isn't working as expected when you touch the screen, since mouse_response and touch_response should both work for touches and mouse clicks. Is it working if you double tap the screen instead? (if so, see this issue: …
  • Hi @gerhono As far as I know, the touch_response item should come pre-installed with OpenSesame. If you’re not seeing it in the list of available items, I’d suggest reinstalling the latest version of OpenSesame (you can find it here). It should nor…
  • Hi @shaza, I gave it a try using the experiment template you shared earlier, as I’m assuming this is the one where you want to have the video playing in the background. https://forum.cogsci.nl/uploads/156/LCL5E2OTLH0T.osexp To make it work, you just…
  • Hi @gel1428 Glad it's working now! When using solution one, make sure that you have a line right before it that defines var.list_locations. If you have already done that, check that your logger item is placed after your inline script and that you …
  • Hi @gel1428 My first guess is that this issue is happening because even though you're assigning a list to var.list_locations, OpenSesame stores it as a string representation of that list. A couple suggestions to fix it: 1) You could convert the str…
  • Hello @Joosjo Could you provide a little more information so that we can help you better? Also, I don't see any files attached. Thanks, Claire
  • Hi @gerhono, Yes, I think there’s a bit of confusion here: .csv is the file format. It’s not a .csv file "in Excel format", but rather a comma-separated values text file format i.e., it is already a "standard csv file". The reaso…
  • Hi @shaza I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve just yet; could you share a sample of your experiment, or at least describe the design in a bit more detail? When you say the muted video should play for the whole duration of the experi…
  • Hi @gerhono To clarify: OpenSesame does not export Excel files disguised as .csv files... The logger creates a standard, plain-text CSV file (comma-separated, UTF-8 encoded, double-quoted; see documentation). Excel might misinterpret the format whe…
  • Hello @gerhono, Do you happen to know which variable is generating this number? Normally, OpenSesame logs all timestamps in milliseconds, so this value looks unusually large. Are all of your timestamps that size, or just this one? Regarding the Exce…
  • Hi @shaza If you are using the sampler item to play your audio files, you can simply indicate 'sound' as the duration. The sampler will then wait until the sound has finished before moving to the next item (see the relevant documentation here: Soun…
  • Hi @Maroes Thank you for the detailed report. However, I'm not sure what's causing this without looking at your experiment file directly; I'll ask SigmundAI, our Opensesame AI expert and copy paste its answer below so that you can try its suggestio…
  • Hi @shaza Here is a slightly modified version of your experiment, which should work as expected even for 240 target trials. If you add your full set of stimuli, you just need to adjust the 'run if' conditions in the 'target_sequence' sequence to in…
  • Hi @shaza What do you mean when you say that the 'run if' function doesn't work? Have you tried [count_trial_sequence]/20 == 1? (constraint to add on your items for the catch/distractor trials) I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve, b…
  • Hi @Katharinaaa I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you have a .xlsx or .csv file for example, with a column 'sentence', where each row consists of a different sentence, you can use the loop item, and set the 'source' to file. Then you set 'order…
  • Hi @platzf Could you please share your OpenSesame experiment file (.osexp) so that I can take a closer look? The above "trick" worked for me, so it would help to see your experiment's settings and structure. Cheers, Claire
  • Hi @RemcoRenken Thanks again for sharing your files. I tried running your experiment and for me, it consistently froze at trial 253. Each time, it would halt at the same point and I had to abort the experiment. However, when I switched the backend …
  • Hi @platzf If I understand correctly, the text is aligned with the top of the checkboxes by default, and you’d like it to align with the bottom line instead; is that right? One possible workaround I found is to fine-tune the linebreak by adding a s…
  • Hi @RemcoRenken That’s indeed a strange issue. So, just to clarify: the zeros appear only for one specific line in your block table, always the same one? If you remove that line, does the experiment run without problems? Or is it more that it alway…
  • Hi @rrr Here’s a minimal working example where the rating screen appears right after the sound ends, using 'sound' as the sampler duration. It should behave as you intend, so maybe compare it with your setup to spot any differences. As for the upda…
  • Hi @rrr I'm not sure what's happening from the information you provided, but a few things you can check: Make sure you are using the latest version of OpenSesame. What operating system are you on (Windows, Mac, Linux)? Are all your audio files the …
  • Hi @adrianamartins9995 It looks like you are specifying the file names incorrectly in your loop table. Make sure that the names include the extension, such as 'uncaught.png', and that the files are actually in your file pool. Claire
  • Hi @rrr If you're looking to repeat background music without using any inline_script, a simple workaround is to create a longer audio file e.g., by using Audacity to copy-paste the tracks multiple times, re-arranging them as you like. Then, play th…
  • Hi @rrr Have you tried the above solution? (i.e., add a sampler item with your sound at the beginning of the experiment, and set the duration to 0) Duration indicates the duration of the sampler item, before the next item is presented. This doesn't…
  • Hi @adrianamartins9995 Yes, you can do this in the same way as for the images, by adding more variables to your loop and setting your sketchpads accordingly. To change the background, I think you can do it by adding a line like set background "…
  • Hi @adrianamartins9995 Yes, to randomize your images, you’ll want to use a loop item. Add a loop and place a sequence inside it. Put your sketchpads inside the sequence (and anything else that is part of a trial). In the loop table, create a column…
  • Hi @Ahorn_siroop, First of all, you might want to use the latest version of OpenSesame and therefore read the latest documentation: Visual world // OpenSesame documentation Second, I am not quite sure I understand what the problem is here; what do y…
