Hi, That's an excellent question! Good to baptise the JAPS & BayesFactor subforum with. I'll leave it to the experts to answer, but for now I'd like to point out that you haven't uploaded the image. And could explain in more detail about which …

In a nutshell, the multiprocess runner starts the experiment in a separate process. The main advantage is that, if a hard crash occurs, the OpenSesame doesn't go down. Also, the live-updating function of the variable inspector only works for the mul…

Hi Chiara, Data transfer can take some time. But this is in order of minutes. 40 minutes is clearly excessive, so something probably went wrong. A good thing to know is that your data is not lost: Even if it's not transferred to the experimental P…

Hi, If you have accents or non-Latin characters, you need to indicate exactly how these are represented: the character encoding. OpenSesame uses utf-8, but this is not the default character encoding on Windows. (Although it's usually recognized cor…

Hi Fabia, Thanks for pointing this out. As it happens, as of 3.0.2 the syntax of OpenSesame scripts is checked, and this problem shouldn't occur any more. If it does, please let me know. Cheers! Sebastiaan

@alisdt That's great, thank you. Since you seem to known what you're doing, would you be interested in submitting a pull request with this fix through GitHub? If so, please submit it to the os3 branch of my fork, which currently has the most up-to-d…

Hi guys, Ok, that solves it: The external runner is broken (#371). There's generally no reason to use the external runner (which uses opensesamerun); it's mostly a remnant from the days before @dschreij developed the multiprocess runner (which uses…
-
The plugins that are bundled with PyGaze (in the folder opensesame_plugins) need to be somewhere OpenSesame can find them. To do so, you can add that folder (the full path to opensesame_plugins to the OPENSESAME_PLUGIN_PATH). Something like: OPENSE…

Hi Helene, It looks like a 2 PC setup should work: In pygaze_init, you can enter the IP address of the computer that is connected to the SMI. I feel I need to add a disclaimer though: SMI support is part of PyGaze, but it is not an eye-tracker tha…

Hi, Could you post the full stacktrace? You can find that in the debug window. And is there any regularity behind the crash. For example, can you take certain steps to reliably reproduce it? Cheers, Sebastiaan
-
Hi, It looks like you're running an older version of OpenSesame; the var.my_variable syntax is new in 3.0. So you could: * Update to OpenSesame 3.0. * Read the documentation for your version. You can select a version of OpenSesame in the drop-down…

@Zeke There hasn't been significant progress that I'm aware of. I believe that the Open University project is ongoing, but I haven't heard from them—and I assume that I would have heard if there was something to report. (Quote) As far as I know, th…

Hi Joshua, Not really, I'm afraid. The closest thing that I can think of is presenting a slideshow of images as a video. But that's only practical for short fragments, of course. Cheers, Sebastiaan
-
Hi Harold, It seems like something goes wrong in Expyriment, the library used by OpenSesame. I cannot really say much more about it, because I've never seen this issue myself, and these kind of 'hard' crashes are very difficult to debug. But, sinc…
-
Hi, I'm not familiar with your Python environment, but as a general tip: Python just takes the first matching thing from the Python path. In your case, this is apparently pygaze from site-packages. If you want to use a different pygaze, you can eit…
-
This happens when pygame cannot initialize the sound mixer. There's not really a workaround, but it's very rare and generally indicates a problem with the sound device—even if sound is apparently not completely broken for you. Does that help at all…
-
Hi, This is a really basic question, which suggests that you haven't followed any of the tutorials. So I would start there to familiarize yourself with the basics of OpenSesame. It won't take long. * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/tutorials/step-by-step-t…
-
You've opened nine (!) discussion about different PyGaze issues in the past few days. I realize that they are all slightly different, but—to keep the forum clean—shall we nevertheless keep the discussion in one place? This one, for example: * http:…
-
I still cannot reproduce the problem. Can you describe a way to reliably trigger the error? * Step 1: Open the experiment * Step 2: ? And do you have any idea where the 2776119884 might come from?
-
Hi Frouke, Thanks for sending those reports. Is this the error you're talking about? "2776746932" is not a valid variable name Even looking at the full traceback in your report, I don't understand where this comes from, and I cannot rep…
-
Hi Chiara, You can simply get the portable .zip version of OpenSesame 3.0.2: * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/getting-opensesame/download/ That way you don't have to change the installed version on the experimental PC. You can have as many versions of Op…

Hi Harold, This is the third discussion that you've opened on calibrating with the EyeTribe. Would you mind helping us to keep the forum clean by keeping things in one discussion? * http://forum.cogsci.nl/index.php?p=/discussion/1690/ Cheers, Seb…
-
(Quote) I suspect so. Or at least it's probably some underlying library that is used by both OpenOffice and OpenSesame. @dschreij, are you familiar with this problem?
-
A few people have reported this same problem now, so let's try to get some more information. Question: * Does this happen with both the multiprocess and inprocess runner? You can change the runner under Tools → Preferences.
-
This error has been reported before, so I'm closing this one to keep things in one place. Please see the discussion below, and post any more information there. * http://forum.cogsci.nl/index.php?p=/discussion/1696/ Cheers, Sebastiaan

Hi Harold, Are you running the latest version of OpenSesame (3.0)? I know that this was an issue in 2.9, but it should be resolved now. Cheers, Sebastiaan
-
(Quote) var_list is already a list, so you don't need to put brackets around it; that will just put the list in another list. (Quote) This is essentially the same problem as before. You've replaced the a standard log object with a StreamReaderWrite…
-
Hi Tali, (Quote) Good to hear! (We usually hear only the things that go wrong.) (Quote) If all the systems run smoothly, there's no reason why you couldn't combine results from different systems. An exception may be when you are interested in abso…
-
Hi, In the Window with the error message, you should see a detailed error message under Traceback. Could you post that as well? Does this error occur with all backends, and in both fullscreen and window mode? Cheers, Sebastiaan
-
Hi Harold, You can simply insert an inline_script with: eyetracker.calibrate() As described here: * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/devices/pygaze/#function-overview (In 2.9 or earlier, you need to call exp.pygaze_eyetracker.calibrate().) Cheers, Sebas…
