GuideMe (TeaseMe v2.0) - Current Build 0.4.4

[philo]

Thank you for all the info

Unfortunately using a zero delay time does not work with NYX so it looks like there will be no easy solution for getting my teases working in both as I am now relying on 0.1 second delays as a work-around for range() not working inside buttons()

That is weird, I used 0 second delays for my two teases

100#page("",pic("blank.jpg"),delay(0sec,D2Kitchen2#),set(3#),unset(4#));

Have you tried the offline visual editor I wrote?
It saves the tease as a teasme xml file and generates the Nyx script for you.
I wrote it due to similar frustrations you are having with the online editor.
It also allows you to specify the range in the button and generates the 0 second delay pages automatically in the nyx script

Sorry I made a mistake 0 seconds does work, The page I was pointing it at was broke and therefore didn't load.


Thank you for the offline editor I will have a look when I get home (few weeks time)

Hi everyone! I've just bought a new computer and I'm trying to download Guide Me. When the computer finishes unzipping the file it says "File cannot be extracted, It could be damaged". I've tried all the version, old, new, 32 and 64 bit. Anyone could help?

sounds like an issue with your machine.
You could try extracting it using 7 zip and see if that works any better

Thank you man, now the extractions went well, but I can't use it lol Seems like my pc misses something. I can't open it

Please be a bit more specific in your error description... What exactly did you try... what exactly happened?
You used "start.bat" to run GuideMe and did not try to run GuideMe.jar like your screenshot indicates right?
Its called "start.bat" for a reason... y'know?


EDIT: Added "A Tease Through Dimensions" to content page at the beginning of this thread...

You're right, sorry but I'm a noob lol idk on my old pc I used the 32 bit version, when I extracted everything I only had to double click on GuideMe, that's it. I tried doing the same but it asks me with which program should I open a jar file and seems like I miss that program. Obviously I did not try to click on start.bat, seemed to easy

To double click on a jar file you need to install the java runtime.
Guideme comes with a copy of this in the java directory but windows doesn't know it is there.
Running start.bat forces it to use the version included with Guideme.
So before java was installed on your machine and it happened to be a version that was compatible with Guideme.
Start.bat also does things like assigning more memory to java than the default.

Thank man, now it works lol But when I go to User preferences it doesn't show me the descriptions. Like in the the list of fetishes i can only select the case without being able to see what that case refers to. Not so important (i guess)

Hello,

I'm new to the forum here but not so new to working with GuideMe. I actually already made a big tease but I wasn't satisfied with the work I've done so far. So I wanted to make a more interactive tease but I have a few problems with that. So I was looking forward to speak with some people who know this tool better, then me.

My first question is: Is there any possibility, to use changeable variables in a tease?
Like for example a number of strokes, that changes in amount to the time given for a picture. If I say, the picture should be shown for 5 seconds and I would like to have 5 strokes, it would make 1 stroke per second. But if I would like to change that amount of strokes into 6, I would need an amount of 72 bpm. The same would be, if you would want to change the time to 6 seconds but would like the strokes to remain 5. Then there would be needed an amount of 50 bpm, to have that.

So my question is - is there a possibility, to represent such changes in GuideMe or maybe to set a equation? What I tried so far was writing a skript with all times set to their specific bpm. It worked so far but had the very big disadvantage, that it was not able to load the pictures I wanted to have and it was also dependent on some Flags.

So maybe there is someone who could help me with my question and guide me, how that is done? Would be very nice to realize such a project with this tool, because writing it all on myself in a programming language will be a real pain in the ass ;)



What I have written so far was:

Code: Select all

// This Script is written, so different strokes speeds can be performed to different times set.

    // Set some defaults
    TimerStyle secret
    imgFolder pictures
    count = 10
    countS = 6
    countTime = 0
    set KeepMetronome


// And start the action


    if (count = 1) *.jpg, 6, 10, TEST1 // alle 6 Sekunden	-  one time
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 2) *.jpg, 6, 20, TEST2 // alle 3 Sekunden     	-  two times
	countTime = countTime + 1 	
    if (count = 3) *.jpg, 6, 30, TEST3 // alle 2 Sekunden     	-  three times
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 4) *.jpg, 6, 40, TEST4 // alle 1,5 Sekunden   	-  four times
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 5) *.jpg, 6, 50, TEST5 // alle 1,2 Sekunden	-  five times
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 6) *.jpg, 6, 60, TEST6 // jede Sekunde		-  six times
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 7) *.jpg, 6, 70, TEST7 // 1,16 Mal pro Sekunde	-  seven
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 8) *.jpg, 6, 80, TEST8 // 1,3 Mal pro Sekunde	-  eight
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 9) *.jpg, 6, 90, TEST9 // 1,5 Mal pro Sekunde	-  nine
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 10) *.jpg, 6, 100, TEST10 // 1,6 Mal Sekunde	-  ten
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 11) *.jpg, 6, 110, TEST11 // 1,83 Mal Sekunde	-  eleven
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 12) *.jpg, 6, 120, TEST12 // 2 Mal pro Sekunde	-  twelve
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 13) *.jpg, 6, 130, TEST13 // 2,16 Mal pro Sekunde-  thirten
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 14) *.jpg, 6, 140, TEST14 // 2,3 Mal pro Sekunde-  fourten
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 15) *.jpg, 6, 150, TEST15 // 2,5 Mal pro Sekunde-  fiften
	countTime = countTime + 1
	countS = countS - 1


//Within 5 seconds

    if (count = 1) *.jpg, 5, 12, TEST1 // alle 6 Sekunden	-  one
	countTime = countTime + 1
    if (count = 2) *.jpg, 5, 24, TEST2 // alle 3 Sekunden     	-  two

I'm not sure, i understand your question. Yes, you can use "changeable" variables. You can save, load, manipulate and change them as you like during a tease... GuideMe supports javascript and has a lot of useful helper functions (like overRide and comonfunctions) to easier interact with the tease. So there is a lot you can do with variables in a tease. But i don't understand what exactly you want and your code example doesn't make any sense to me...

A very simple function to calculate the required bpm for a number of strokes in a number of seconds would be:

Spoiler: show

// returns vBPM for given vStrokes in vSeconds
function getBPM(vStrokes, vSeconds) {
var vBPM = round((vStrokes/vSeconds)*60);
return vBPM;
}

I personally would add this function into the globaljavascript part of the tease script, so i can use the function on every page i want. On an actual page i could use this function as follows if i already decided and saved my desired vStrokes and vSeconds on a previous page before that using scriptVars.put...

Spoiler: show

<Page id="stroke2pic">
<Text>Follow the beat! You owe me <span>vStrokes</span> strokes!</Text>
<javascript>
<![CDATA[
function pageLoad() {
var vStrokes = scriptVars.get("vStrokes");
var vSeconds = scriptVars.get("vSeconds");
overRide.image = "*.jpg";
overRide.setMetronome(getBPM(vStrokes, vSeconds));
overRide.setDelay("success", vSeconds, "", "", "", "", "");
}
]]>
</javascript>
</Page>

Ah, thank you very much. That already looks sort of handy :)

What I wrote was some script concerning the script engine.
When you say, that GuideMe includes JavaScript, then I assume my version is already outdated, since I never even started to think about JavaScript so far?

But anyway - thank you very much. Now I at least have some point where to start. Looks like you already have an idea of what I need to do what I want :)

[d3vi0n]

glad i could help...

What I wrote was some script concerning the script engine.

I never used Playfuls script engine for GuideMe. Personally I find it easier to write scripts myself in Notepad++. This way I'm in full controll and freedom over the code to get all creative and crazy with the script. You can find more tipps for writing GuideMe Scripts in this post.

When you say, that GuideMe includes JavaScript, then I assume my version is already outdated, since I never even started to think about JavaScript so far?

No idea what you're talking about. GuideMe supported Javascript from the start. That was one of the main goals for GuideMe in comparison to the old TeaseMe viewer. You should also always use the latest version of GuideMe.

GuideMe v0.3.3 Windows 64 bit runs fine on my Win 10... so your problem can't be Win 10...
What exactly did you do to start GuideMe? start.bat and nothing at all happens?

GuideMe v0.3.3 Windows 64 bit runs fine on my Win 10... so your problem can't be Win 10...

I can confirm that guideme is developed on a windows 10 machine and the 64bit version was tested on it, so it isn't a windows version issue
