Data Extension 1.0.387 : Let the testing begin?

Question

The greatest extension Small Basic has ever seen has finally returned!

The 1.0.387 release can be considered as am unstable development version. NetworkServer and NetworkClient aren't included this version.

Update doesn't work and some new features have been included.

• Step 1: Download
• Step 2: Install
  
• Step 3: Test
• Step 4: Send feedback

Updates may be provided as they are complete.

Answer 1

Would it be possible for you to tell me how you got these commands to function in Small Basic?

I've tried with my own DLL and XML file, but it didn't work.

Thanks.

Answer 2

Answer 9

 tried to download the Small Basic Data Extension from here:

http://download.o-programs.com/projects/data/Data_Extension_1.0.300.exe

but it responds with "Program not found".  Has it moved?

I'm using Win XP SP3 X86, all updates.  I've tried Google Chrome, Firefox 3.0.6 and IE8, all fail in slightly different ways.  IE8 indicates that it cannot process the page, or something like that.

I've been messaging with litdev, and he suggested that I ask if there is some other way that I can get the download.  I'd really like to check it out!

Answer 10

There is nothing with your computer, looks like I just changed few file names when I updated my download site on weekend so it's really  my fault =). The download center is in beta state so there might be some bugs.

Link http://download.o-programs.com/projects/data/Data_Extension_1.0.300.exe should work now.

For all downloads regarding Data Extension you can visit http://download.o-programs.com/projects/data/

Page should work without any bugs on firefox+4, chrome+13 opera+10 and IE8+ (legacy) and you must have javascript on in your browser.

Answer 11

Thank you very much!

Answer 12

Is there documentation for Data Extension?  There wasn't any in the download.  I Googled trying to find it, to no avail.

I found the Import RZZ532-2 which is supposed to be for Data Extension, but it uses an object called Tortise, which Small Basic does not recognize.

RussPC

Answer 13

RZZ532-2

Not one of my samples.

But I do have made few samples myself:

• GameController Sample 1 : VXF713
• GameController Sample 2 : DGG883
• GameController Sample 3 : RZS268
• Dialog Test : VHP408
• Security Sample 1 : ZMC479
• Security Sample 2 : CQT390
• Scanning Sample : SDN647
• Speech Sample : ZNL251

 

And I am planning to do more samples.

Answer 19

it would be great if you were able to read and write hexadecimal data from/to files. can you please add something like this?

Answer 20

any plan to include more controls in next version of your extension? a list box and a canvas???

I have been working with combo box so it might be included to next version. Canvas would be nice too but it's just too complicated for Small Basic.

Actually all shapes and controls in GameWindow are stored to one canvas.

Answer 21

it would be great if you were able to read and write hexadecimal data from/to files. can you please add something like this?

The feature is possible but I think Unicode is enough for this language.

The feature is possible but I think Unicode is enough for this language.

i don't think so. it would very useful, at most for decoding files.

ps: the NetworkClient.Connect isn't working correctly. you can't connect to a server, it always crashes. please fix, this feature is really important for some of my projects.

Answer 25

I have 2 questions:

1) When one sets the Game Window to go into fullscreen, does the window set the resolution to 640 by 480, or does it just take up the whole screen?

2) The NetworkPlus.UploadFile class keeps returning as failed. Surprisingly, that's the same result as the FremyCompany extension.

Answer 26

googlebob,

1) No, the resolution does not change but the windows does take up the entire screen.

2) Maybe you should try running as administrator:

Security.RestartAsAdministrator()

When I try to run the simple program below:

Answer 32

Oskariok,

The download link no longer works: http://download.o-programs.com/projects/data/Data_Extension_1.0.300.exe

Can you upload it on MSDN Code Gallery or on CodePlex instead? That way we know the link will stay alive.

Thanks!

Answer 43

Oskariok,

Great job!  It's a wonderful extension.  Downloaded and used print function with no issues.  Looked at and tested some of the other functions and they worked OK.

---

JR

Answer 44

Oskariok,

Doesn't look like the variable functions work right in the extension unless I am looking at this wrong.

a=5
Value=ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable(a)
TextWindow.WriteLine(value)
programplus.SetValueOfVariable(a,99)
TextWindow.WriteLine(a)

If I run this the first writeline prints blank.  The second writeline prints 5.  Appears that programplus.getvalueofvariable doesn't read the value and programplus.setvalueofvariable doesn't set the value.

---

JR

Answer 45

I think you meant like this:

a=5
Value=ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable("a")
TextWindow.WriteLine(value)
programplus.SetValueOfVariable("a",99)
TextWindow.WriteLine(a)

Answer 46

Math Man,

That does work, but it doesn't make any sense.  Why would you have to put quotes around a variable?  Generally when that is done that value is the variable.

---

JR

Answer 47

It wants quotes because when you do

Value=ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable(a)

Then it thinks that 'a' is a variable and replaces that spot with 'a's value. So what Small Basic is interpreting that as is

Value=ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable(5)

And obviously there is no variable named '5' so Small Basic doesn't do anything. Does that make any sense? Please ask if you need a better explanation.

---

I am a 10 year old that loves math, games, and computers. 'Binary is as easy as 1, 10, 11.'

Answer 48

Math Man,

Say I have variable a and I assign value 5 to it

a=5

Then I want to print a

Textwindow.writeline(a)

It prints 5

My variable was a.

If I do this:

Textwindow.writeline("a")

It prints 'a' without the apostrophes. Meaning that was a value.

Value=ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable(a)

I think 'a' here should be the variable.  Not "a". So, I do see how it is working, but it doesn't seem to follow the rules.

---

JR

Answer 49

Well, the function ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable needs the name of the variable. The name of the variable would be considered text, so you would need the quotation markings to show that it is text. What would be the point of using Value=ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable(a) when you could have been using Value=a? The point of this function is to use the name of the variable to access its value. If you run this program (it should work, but the computer I'm on does not have Small Basic at the moment), I think you'll better understand my point. Please tell me if it doesn't work.

a = 56
While 1=1 
TextWindow.Clear() 
TextWindow.WriteLine("Type 'a' to see its value or type something else to assign that value to 'a.'") 'show a message' 
typed = TextWindow.Read() 'get user input' 
If ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable(typed) = "" Then 'If that variable is not empty' 
ProgramPlus.SetValueOfVariable(a,typed)
Else
TextWindow.WriteLine(ProgramPlus.GetValueOfVariable(typed))
EndIf
TextWindow.PauseWithoutMessage()
EndWhile

Answer 50

GameKeyboard.IsKeyDown("d") = GameKeyboard.IsKeyDown("c") why?

---

R. G.

Answer 51

Oskariok,

Is there anyway to make your extension work with the regular graphics window too?  Or maybe do an extension with radio buttons, check boxes, set focus and print capability just for the normal graphics window?  I know that I can have multiple extensions do all of these things, but that gets complicated.  If your extension had these capabilities added then you could have a regular graphics window with those controls and an actual game window.

Thanks,

JR

Answer 52

Um, how to make the program get an event when i use a control? Or is the GameControls.RegisterKeyDownEvent doesnt work wuite properly? :/

Answer 53

Hi,

how can i get the cmd.RunCMDcommand  back? seems not to be in this version.
