philo wrote: longer term I want to write a .scr parser that would load .scr files.
my current plan is to try to convert the scr lines to guideme pages on the fly.
this should make debugging scr scripts a lot easier.

philo wrote: I am also thinking of adding an scr node to the guideme xml so scr scripts can be mixed with more complex xml pages giving the best of both worlds.

I have changed the folder structure to make the script engine and scripted teases more self contained, and to provide a better structure for developing your own script based teases.
In your Guides folder there will be a "PG" folder. If you have created any scripts you probably have them in PG/Scripts.
The new release package uses folder "ScriptTeases" instead of "PG".
After unzipping the new release package move your scripts from PG/Scripts to ScriptTeases/Scripts.
You can then delete the PG folder (unless you have one of my other teases you want to keep).

Code: Select all

Any script line not recognized as a comment or other command is assumed to be a page command.

page        A page command has the format
            imagename, delay, metronome page text

            Page text may be a text block enclosed in curly braces

            imagename, delay, metronome { This is the beginning of the page text
                  which is continued on one or more subsequent lines.
                }   // A closing curly bracket on a line by itself or at the
                    // very end of the line ends the block.

Comments    Any line that begins with // is a comment
                Trailing coments are supported. In the line above (and the one below),
                everything after the // would be ignored as a comment

Audio       Specifies an audio file to play when the page loads. 
               The audio command can appear within a text block. 
               Only one Audio command is supported on a page. If more than one is given only the last one will be used.
AudioFolder   Sets the subfolder used for Audio commands
ImageFolder   Sets the subfolder used for images

Button and GlobalButton
            Button and GlobalButton have the syntax
              button Label, Target
            Label is the button text, and target specifies one of the following:
              A script label
              A GuideMe page
              An Exit command
              A Return command
            Button commands (but not GlobalButton) can appear within a text block

RemoveButton  Removes the specified global button from the list of defined buttons
                RemoveButton Label
goto        Goto the script label or GuideMe page specified
              goto someScriptLabel
gosub       Goes to the specified script label or GuideMe page and records the
              current script position. A return command then sends control back
              to that position.
return      Returns to the command following the most recent goSub.
            May be specified as the target of a button as in
              Button Leave, Return
Metronome   Metronome bpm|off
TimerStyle  secret|normal|hidden
Exit        Exits the script engine.
            May also be specified as the target of a button (Button Leave, exit)
            By default will return to the GuidemeScripts page which loads the list
            of available scripts for you to select one.
            If the variable onScriptExit is defined control will go to that
            GuideMe page. This is to support better integration of Guideme pages
            and scripts. See Variables below
Set/Unset   Set and Unset set or clear simple Truue/False flags. These establish
            conditions that can then be tested with ifSet and ifNotSet
ifSet/ifNotSet
            Tests whether the given flags are set or not and executes the given
            command. Command can be any valid script command.
              ifSet flags command
              ifNotSet flags command
Include     Include the contents of another script file

Variables   Variables (GuideMe ScriptVars) can be set using a simple assignment
            like
                onScriptExit = "GuidemeScripts"
                myCount = 30

Formatting text
  Embedded HTML   Any valid html codes can be included in your page text

  Special codes
    \h Heading /h   \h and /h mark H2 style heading text
    \p text /p      \p and /p mark a paragraph
    >               At the beginning of a line indents the line 2 spaces
                    Can use multiple like >>> to indent more
    \               Backslash followed by a space inserts a non breaking space
    \\              Inserts a backslash
    \< and \>       Insert angle brackets
    \&              Inserts an ampersand (&)

  Named styles
    Style     Define a named style with a command like
                style largeGreen = "font-size:120%; color:green;"
                Then apply it to a page using
                  image,delay,metronome style text
                In a text block each line can have a different style as in
                  image, {
                    Style1 This text uses style Style1
                    Style2 This text uses style Style2
                  }
                This allows mixing of styles in the page.

need to experiment with it a little bit longer. But it's a simple way to create teases.



Will be videos supported in next versions?

Like during the slideshow. The metronome randomly switches tempo between each slide.

I think this sort of thing is just a limitation of GuideMe which is inherently "page based"
