World: r4wp

Max, yes, docs for VID (beyond the basics) have always been lacking. 
It took me a long time to find OF for grouping as well. Part of the 
issue is the design of VID itself, where you need to know internals, 
and there isn't a documented public interface for styles.

MaxV: radiobuttons are best used with true and false in stead of 
on and of like in some documentation mentioned. The true and false 
I just tried out of frustration and I discovered it worked. Undocumented. 
Same with the block after a text or label to make the label clickable 
like a button. 
VID has an effect and a draw that could be better documented.

When bound, ON and OFF are the same as TRUE and FALSE

At the surface it looked like it. But I needed the true and false 
variant. Other was simply not working in my mirror game.

Sometimes I could check more than 1 radiobox, although I grouped 
them, and I had to initialize the values to true and false myself 
to use these in my statements. Using true and false solved it.

It may be a binding problem, then

We're supposed to be hearing about the license for the R3 source 
this week ... no updates yet I guess

Marco (about RebRap): how do you render 3d scene in rebol and how 
do you controll the printer thru rebol, via some DLL?

Looks great Max, maybe all the docs make for a large script/download? 
The syntax highlighting, yes,the syntax file for UltraEdit is here 
for inspiration: http://www.ultraedit.com/files/wf/rebol.uew

I've an issue with RebolIDE,

I get "Script Error: Face object reused (in more than one pane): 
Example..."

Here is the steps to reproduce: open shape document from help menu, 
click on an example (opens a new window), close the example window 
and the document window, then click on help menu.
Great work by the way, I especially like the documents.

@ ENDO: I think that error is something related to RebGUI . However 
it's no so easy to create. If you have suggestions to eliminate it, 
I'm here.

@Arnold: there is a rebol editor with syntax hilghting, it's http://trac.assembla.com/shadwolforge/wiki
, I think to incorporete it someway.

Nope, I don't think it is related to RebGUI (or it is indirectly).
The wierd thing is, it happens just in this case:

Run RebolIDE, Help -> Shape -> Execute the LAST example, Close windows, 
click on Help ---> Error.

If you open some other documents first, or run another example in 
Shape document, or do anything else, then this error doesn't appear 
anymore.

Probably there are so much nameless widget that RebGui loose control 
and mistake the blocks. If you find a solution, let me know.

JEdit also has syntax highlighting for REBOL, but starting Java VM 
takes forever (more than 10 seconds that is).

Get the error too, just downloaded 10 minutes ago. ** Script Error: 
Face object reused (in more than one pane): Binds words to a specified 
context
** Where: set-focus
** Near: show face
After closing the help core

Cool that all downloads worked flawlesly (RebGUI and the docs.)

MaxV: interesting but now error is gone. same pc, same steps, no 
error.

Oh it is now in VID section, "alert" function.

I said you, too many nameless faces. It's something related to RebGUI. 
Rebol can't understand if a face block is new or the same already 
used. If VID had tab panel, I' would use only VID.

I have all the images from the docs from REBOL-IDE cluttering my 
scripts folder now. Is it possible to use a seperate map for these? 
Please?

OK, ath the moment you can move the rebolIDE script to an empty folder, 
next version will use a seprate folder for all Rebolide files. Is 
it ok for you?

Geomol, you are great!

Stunt Ace looks great John. Hope it sells well.

Thanks, guys!

Geomol, great accomplishment. What language did you use ultimately 
for the game?

Java. Being this type of game, it's not too object oriented, so we 
use Java features like direct reference to static variables in classes 
for things like assets. "We" is myself for the most part and my nephew, 
who has more experience with Java than me, so he could give some 
guidance.

Ah, java. thanks.

Congratulations to both John and Robert!

@Janko: rendering of 3d scene is similar to code in opengl.r found 
in rebol.org, and to control the printer I simpy send ascii gcode 
throu serial port.

I haven't reviewed your CGI stuff yet Arnold, but it looks useful. 
Thanks for posting it.

Red Compiler: Nice work Arnold. Quick feedback: Need error handing 
(compiler not found etc.), config file to remember previous settings.

Endo, preferences should be preferences not just last time settings 
imho those could be some quick test experiments. But preferences, 
indeed preferences is what I missed while testing this bugger. Prefs 
filename something like app-name.preferences.ini? When prefenced 
start dir is set via preferences probably the rsc.r script will always 
be found? But testing for existance is more robust, so I agree definitely. 
Maybe in time there will be a completely different way to compile 
Red or other changes needed to keep this script actual and useable, 
so I invite everyone interested to feel free to add and sculpt this 
script!

The main issue I have with this script is this. My script did not 
compile. I used 'now in my script to time a kind of loop foreach 
versus forall and this failed. The control was not passed back to 
my script, I just compiled hello.reds script and this was successful 
and my script got the focus again. So that is nice but with unsuccessfull 
build it woul be nice to gather results and maybe restart compiling 
with different setting (for verbose for example). I have no idea 
how to do this.

Doc - that's perfect? Where did you dig the code from? :-) Something 
old, or new creation related to your R2 latest project/contract? 
:-)

4 years old code that I wrote for a customer app. I've already published 
it in REBOL3 world (there was a dedicated group), but I guess that 
Github is the right place, so others can improve it.

I wonder how many megabytes of source code it would take to write 
the same in Java? ;-)

I must say that I had a lot of fun coding that scheme, especially 
learning CUPS and coding some Postscript custom routines.

Hi Doc, it is a great piece of code! Thanks a lot.
in readme file it says:

http://raw.github.com/dockimbel/printer-driver/master/printer-scheme.r

but it doesn't work. I think it should be https instead of http, 
then it works:

https://raw.github.com/dockimbel/printer-driver/master/printer-scheme.r

Thanks Endo, I'm fixing that right now.

Jerry, looking forward to helping out.

Thanks. James. I hope opening the book can help Carl make the decsion 
to open source R3 .. even though the effort I put in the book is 
not compartable to Carl's effort in R3.

Hi Jerry, maybe a combined edition in Chinese and English would help 
more Chinese rebolers to join in the Rebol community. (Make them 
more comfortable using english.)

I'm here to help you Jerry

Jerry, looks like a smart move. My Chinese is a bit rusty to say 
the least.

Thanks for willing to help me on the translation.

I don't know Chinese at all, but can help with final English wording.

Every pages is carefully drawed and layouted. To make the English 
Edition of it, I have to re-layout every page. Since English Sentence 
is shorter than it's Chinese one in most of the cases, I will need 
to re-layout everypage. the aspect should be change from 4:3 to 16:9 
or 16:10. This will take some time for me to prepare.

Carl got my book last Friday, maybe that's why he decided to think 
about the future of REBOL and wrote that blog article. I hope our 
opening the R3 book and trying to gain more new users will make him 
make the second move, opening R3.

Even though I've prepared in my heart for the worst situation.

I am kind of shy and not talkative. But recently I've talked a lot 
here, because I really don't want to see the death of REBOL.
