They belong in the actual script files. #2: / precondition=[computer.platform == "windows"] "windows" is not what the computer.platform property returns under Windows operating systems. It returns "win".

Group: Forum Members Posts: 17, Visits: 110	Thanks! But what am I doing wrong now? In my batchfile I refer to a file that is (partly) coded as follows: <video videoExample> / items = videoExample / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <video videoPractice> / items = videoPractice / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <video videoFear> / items = videoFear / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <video videoAngry> / items = videoAngry / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <video videoHappy> / items = videoHappy / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <video videoSad> / items = videoSad / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <include> / precondition=[computer.platform == "windows"] / file="wmv_videos.exp" </include> <include> / precondition=[computer.platform == "mac"] / file="mov_videos.exp" </include> And then I made the wmv_videos.exp as follows: <item videoExample> /1="Stimuli morph task/examples/25_angry.wmv" </item> <item videoPractice> /1="Stimuli morph task/examples/07_fear.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/examples/25_sad.wmv" </item> <item videoFear> /1="Stimuli morph task/02_fear.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/10_fear.wmv" /3="Stimuli morph task/16_fear.wmv" /4="Stimuli morph task/20_fear.wmv" /5="Stimuli morph task/33_fear.wmv" /6="Stimuli morph task/37_fear.wmv" </item> <item videoAngry> /1="Stimuli morph task/02_angry.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/10_angry.wmv" /3="Stimuli morph task/16_angry.wmv" /4="Stimuli morph task/20_angry.wmv" /5="Stimuli morph task/33_angry.wmv" /6="Stimuli morph task/37_angry.wmv" </item> <item videoHappy> /1="Stimuli morph task/02_happy.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/10_happy.wmv" /3="Stimuli morph task/16_happy.wmv" /4="Stimuli morph task/20_happy.wmv" /5="Stimuli morph task/33_happy.wmv" /6="Stimuli morph task/37_happy.wmv" </item> <item videoSad> /1="Stimuli morph task/02_sad.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/10_sad.wmv" /3="Stimuli morph task/16_sad.wmv" /4="Stimuli morph task/20_sad.wmv" /5="Stimuli morph task/33_sad.wmv" /6="Stimuli morph task/37_sad.wmv" </item> And the mov file in the same way. What am I doing wrong?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 17, Visits: 110	Hello, because we want to use a task that includes movies and we would like to make it compatible for windows and mac we tried to use the following code: <include> / precondition=[computer.platform == "windows"] / file="wmv_videos.exp"(WHERE DOES THIS REFER TO?) </include> <include> / precondition=[computer.platform == "mac"] / file="mov_videos.exp" (WHERE DOES THIS REFER TO?) </include> However, it does not work. Now I read on this forum that it should not be included in a batchfile (as we tried first) but in the file of the task which included the movies. However, I don't really get where to put the code and what other things we need to redefine. Our code looks like this: <item videoFear> /1="Stimuli morph task/02_fear.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/10_fear.wmv" /3="Stimuli morph task/16_fear.wmv" /4="Stimuli morph task/20_fear.wmv" /5="Stimuli morph task/33_fear.wmv" /6="Stimuli morph task/37_fear.wmv" </item> <video videoAngry> / items = videoAngry / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <item videoAngry> /1="Stimuli morph task/02_angry.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/10_angry.wmv" /3="Stimuli morph task/16_angry.wmv" /4="Stimuli morph task/20_angry.wmv" /5="Stimuli morph task/33_angry.wmv" /6="Stimuli morph task/37_angry.wmv" </item> <video videoHappy> / items = videoHappy / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <item videoHappy> /1="Stimuli morph task/02_happy.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/10_happy.wmv" /3="Stimuli morph task/16_happy.wmv" /4="Stimuli morph task/20_happy.wmv" /5="Stimuli morph task/33_happy.wmv" /6="Stimuli morph task/37_happy.wmv" </item> <video videoSad> / items = videoSad / position = (50% , 50%) / size = (256px,256px) </video> <item videoSad> /1="Stimuli morph task/02_sad.wmv" /2="Stimuli morph task/10_sad.wmv" /3="Stimuli morph task/16_sad.wmv" /4="Stimuli morph task/20_sad.wmv" /5="Stimuli morph task/33_sad.wmv" /6="Stimuli morph task/37_sad.wmv" </item> <block MorphTask> / preinstructions = (MorphTaskStart) / trials = [1-24 = noreplace(videoFear,videoAngry,videoHappy,videoSad)] / ontrialbegin = [text.focus.textcolor = values.focuscolor] / postinstructions = (MorphTaskEnd) </block> So can someone advice us on where to put this code and what other changes we need to make? Thanks!
