Hi Felipe, Could you provide some details? * How exactly have you installed OpenSesame? * What methods of launching OpenSesame have you tried? * What kind of error messages do you see / problems do you encounter? Cheers! Sebastiaan

(Quote) It is! os is a Python module that you need to import before you can use it with the following line: import os

Hi Tamara, You could pause the experiment while any button is pressed, at some point before you collect the response. This will require a bit of Python inline_scripting. I don't have an SRBox here to test, but something like this should do the job:…

Hi Yojimbanima, The parallel plug-in is best avoided, because, as I mentioned above, it can be unstable. But in your case it doesn't seem to be necessary at all. You use the parallel for two purposes, neither of which require true parallelism: * P…

Hi guys, I'm not sure what's going on here, although I can reproduce it quite easily. It's not a font issue. Rather, it seems that the keyboard layout is not respected, and all input is treated as though typed on a US keyboard. I'll look into it, a…

Hi Adam, From your screenshot, it is clear that OpenSesame's custom icon theme (os-custom-icons) fails to load. All icons that are missing are part of that theme. I have no idea how this could have happened, but it's not fatal and there are two thi…

Hi Yojimbanima, I cannot download your experiment, but the parallel plug-in is known to be unstable. What happens exactly? Does OpenSesame crash completely, or do you see a Python stacktrace in the debug window? (If so, please post.) (Quote) Don't…

Hi Isabelle, The Windows packages are built on Windows 7, but a lot of people also use them without any issue on Windows XP and 8. Windows 10 is untested as far as I know, but I imagine it should work. But is Windows 10 even available yet? Cheers,…

Hi KJ, First off, please don't mark your question as URGENT in the title. That comes across as pushy, and will not get you an answer any quicker. Regarding your question, I'm not sure what the underlying problem could be (@dschreij?). But if the v…

(Quote) Right, it's not bad practice per se, but it's unusual and will confuse the logger. What happens is that a logger checks which variables exists the first time that it is executed. So when you add new variables afterwards, they won't be logged…

(Quote) That should be within the realm of possibility, I agree. When I run your experiment, the videos don't play at all. But when I replace the videos by avi files, they play fine. So that appears to be a file format issue. However, the media_pl…

Hi, There are many ways to abort an experiment, but in your case it seems like you simply want to stop a loop whenever the participant has pressed a specific key. Is that right? You can do this using the break-if statement, which you'll find under…
-
Hi Tamara, The SRBox plug-in flushes automatically when you call the start() function, so that is unlikely to be the problem here. What comes to mind is that the first button may, on occasion, still be pressed when the script is executed, thus trig…

Hi, Your script looks ok, assuming that the indentation is correct (but I guess that got messed up when pasting it here on the forum). But there's a plug-in for this very purpose: the touch_response. So it will probably be easier to use that. See …

Hi Boris, Thanks for sharing this info. As a follow up: I've noticed too that newer versions of OpenSesame sometimes crash on older Python installations on Windows. Usually, this is not because of Python itself, but due to PyQt4 (which you may have…
-
Hi Yunjoo, (Quote) Thanks and you're welcome! If I understand correctly, your question is how you can mix various-length sentences in the simplest way possible. Is that right? You already know how to implement a blocked situation, in which all sen…

Hi Daniel, (Quote) Yeah, there were some technical issues and a handful of posts were lost. Sorry about that. (Quote) You probably explained this in your previous post, but could you provide some more information? What exactly are you trying to do…
-
(Quote) Technical issues, sorry. But we're back online now! Yes, you can certainly read images from a folder. OpenSesame doesn't just accept files from the file pool, it also looks in the experiment folder, and accepts relative and absolute paths. …

@thomasusa80 I'm afraid your question is unclear. (I assume it has been machine translated?) Could you please rephrase your question? The English doesn't have to be perfect (most people here are not native speakers), but we have to be able to unders…
-
Hi Floor, I think you could make your experiment a bit simpler. Let's assume that you have two sequences, called level1 and level2, which implement your two categories of questions. The logic is, if I understand correctly, that you want to run leve…

Hi Simon, Thanks for letting us know that you figured it out. Cheers, Sebastiaan

Hi Thomas. You're not doing anything wrong. There are known issues with the parallel plug-in. A fix was suggested by @dschreij, but this has so far not been tested. So you could take a look at that, in which case, please report back with your expe…

Hi Nynke, It was a sneaky little bug in the form_multiple_choice plug-in. Harmless, as long as you don't try to view the logger or variable inspector. I'll upload a new pre-release of 2.9.0 later today in which this should be fixed (look for >= …
-
Hi, I'm afraid that your question, as asked now, is not specific enough: What does it mean to 'pull from a folder'? Have you already implemented something, and, if so, what? Are you using Python scripting or not? If you haven't already done so, I …

Hi Jan-Maarten, Welcome (finally!) to the forum. The short answer is that forms do not provide mouse-over functionality. However, if you really want this functionality, you could implement your own form programmatically. This may be more trouble th…
-
Hi Frank, That's very odd and should never happen. My best guess is that the experiment sometimes crashed just before it finished, and that there was still some text pending, waiting to be written to disk. This can happen, as the operating system h…

Hi, You're very very close. The problem was that an unchecked checkbox sets its response variable to 'no', and not to 'None'. This explained in more detail here: * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/forms/form-variables/#checkbox So the script below should d…
-
Hi Floor, That's an interesting problem. Your code is already quite good. However, what's missing at the moment is a stop criterion. When do you want the experiment to terminate? Once we have established that, we can see how this can be implemente…

(Quote) The code validation only checks inline_script on their own. Therefore, if you refer to names that have been defined elsewhere you will get a warning. But unless you actually experience a crash, that's no problem. You can disable validation i…

Just a quick note to let you guys know that I included PyGaze + the corresponding OpenSesame plug-ins in the latest pre-release of OpenSesame 2.9.0. * http://files.cogsci.nl/software/opensesame/pre-releases/ I'm not sure whether I'll include them …
