The script collects a string of text input until the participant presses return. So I imagine that's what you need. If you want to add a 30 s pause to your experiment, you can simply insert an advanced_delay item (or some other item that introduces …

Hi Masoud, For text input the situation is pretty much the same as for text output. It can be done, but it requires inline scripting. Below you see simple script, adapted from this discussion, that gives a very simple example of how you can impleme…

Hi Oksana, Please first take a look at the step-by-step tutorial and the video tutorial: * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/usage/step-by-step-tutorial/ * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/usage/video-tutorials/ These will provide you with a basic understanding of ho…

Hi @Wouter, @elizabeth, @cnvanderwal, and @sviter, Thanks for all feedback, requests, and issues! Regarding the possibility of creating an online runtime for OpenSesame, as discussed by @Evadeh, @Edwin, and @EoinTravers: I think there is a lot of …
-
Hi Eoin, None whatsoever, the .exe is just an installation wrapper around the .zip file. I'm talking about the package labelled 'Windows XP/Vista/7 no installation required (.zip)' here. The Python-portable-based package is slightly different, but …

Hi Jarik, I suspect that the updated version of PyGame causes the problem. The new package is bundled with PyGame 1.9.2pre, instead of PyGame 1.9.1, because there was an issue with 1.9.1. (Something very specific, I can't remember what it was ...) …

Hi Nils, You cannot run an OpenSesame experiment in E-Prime, if that's what you're asking. However, you can easily download and run OpenSesame without requiring any installation (even straight from a USB stick). To do so, you can use the Windows XP…
-
Hi Jarik, I see. Does this occur with all back-ends or only the Expyriment back-end used by the Default template? And does it occur on all systems, or only specific ones (maybe the two other machines that you tested have the same hardware)? I haven…
-
I noticed that there is a problem, because PsychoPy tries to treat the OpenSesame debug window as a standard output, which for some reason prevents the log file from being created (issue). This doesn't happen when using opensesamerun, so you could u…
-
Hi Wing, What you will see is a semi-colon-separated list of all options that have been selected, in the variable that you have indicated. If you experience trouble, could you please be a bit more specific about what you have tried, what you expect…
-
Hi Chris, Yes, if you prefer event-style logfiles, you can use the PsychoPy logging functionality. Or that of Expyriment, for that matter. OpenSesame doesn't do this automatically, so you would have to implement that through scripting—But the fact …

Hi John and Edwin, The crosshair and box are not drawn by pylink itself, but by the client software, in this case the OpenSesame EyeLink plug-ins. And it has simply not been implemented in the plug-ins (code). I have never perceived this as a probl…
-
The form_multiple_choice has a field called 'Response variable'. If you fill something in there, for example 'my_gender_response', you will get a variable of that name that contains the selected option. Cheers!
-
Hi Or, Segmentation faults always indicate a problem somewhere in the underlying libraries, in this case presumably PyGame (which is used by the droid back-end). So there's not much that can be done about it in terms of debugging OpenSesame. But m…
-
Hi Edwin, No, I'm afraid not. One of the things that I plan to do for the next major release (but that won't be for a while) is to separate the editor component from the OpenSesame source. This will make things easier to maintain, and the editor wi…
-
Hi Daniel, (Quote) You would need to add a simple inline_script after the form, that recodes the variables so that there is a single variable that contains the name of the emotion that has been selected. For example like so: # A list of all emotio…
-
(Quote) question_text = "<span color="red">Before starting this experiment please fill some variables:</span>" Right, the reason that this doesn't work is that it's not valid Python syntax. The quotes are used to ind…
-
Hi Chris, Sure. Each item has a variable called time_[item name] which contains a timestamp of the item onset. In general, this corresponds to the timestamps that you need, such as the onset of a stimulus display, etc. The timestamp of a keypress i…
-
(Quote) Thank you! (Quote) The easiest way is to simply change the font and color settings of your experiment, in the General tab. These settings will be used by the form as well. If you want to customize your text in more detail, you can use (a su…
-
(Quote) Oddly enough, even though the package is called VideoCapture, it seems like you can only capture stills. But capturing a stream of stills and merging these afterwards should work perfectly well though. That's how I generally my optical illus…
-
Thanks for your feedback! The fact that you have to select a custom font to display particular alphabets is known. It's not really a bug, although it is definitely inconvenient. It is a result from the fact that the font rendering system doesn't aut…
-
Hi Ying, Well, you're almost there! Essentially, the font files need to be copied as well, which are the .png and .pil files located with VideoCapture.py in the VideoCapture download. Also, I would place the files directly in the OpenSesame folder,…
-
Hi, I'm not sure whether you already worked it out, but here's a small tip anyway. You can 'pad' the remaining time after a response with this simple script: total_time = 5000 # The response time + the padding timepadding_time = total_time - self.…

I don't have a Mac myself. But since Daniel (who builds the Mac OS packages) is on a holiday, I'll try to shine some light on this anyway... Clearly, this has to do with PsychoPy not finding the font files. 1) Have you tried selecting a custom fon…
-
Ok, I think I found the bug responsible. It's a general Python bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue1681974 I just uploaded 0.27.3~pre3, which should work around this issue. However, since I don't experience the bug myself, I cannot test it properly. P…
-
Hi Petar, (Quote) You can create the plugins sub-folder yourself and then place the plug-ins in there. That should work also on Mac OS. (Quote) Does Mac OSX have a /usr/share/ folder? If so, creating a /usr/share/opensesame/plugins/ folder should …
-
Hi John, (Quote) Yes, that's what I would recommend as well, in your case. Another alternative would be to use scipy.ndimage, but that's more suitable for doing mathematical things with your images (such as getting the center of gravity, of doing e…
-
Hi Natalie, I presume this is you? (Image) Congratulations! Sebastiaan
-
Great! Glad to hear you got it resolved.

It sounds like OpenSesame is unable to find the font files, and falls back to some default font. What you could try is switch to another back-end and/ or choose a custom font (i.e. using 'Other ...') in the font selection dialog. If this doesn't wo…
