Hi!
I've programmed my study using the free trial version of Inquisit 5, but our lab only has a license to run Inquisit 4 as a web experiment. Is there any way to convert my script to Inquisit 4, or do we need to purchase a new license?
Thank you!

+xHi! I've programmed my study using the free trial version of Inquisit 5, but our lab only has a license to run Inquisit 4 as a web experiment. Is there any way to convert my script to Inquisit 4, or do we need to purchase a new license? Thank you! No, there is no way to convert it automatically. What you'll have to do is go through the script manually and replace any Inquisit 5-specific syntax features you may have used with their Inquisit 4-syntax equivalents (insofar as any equivalents or near-equivalents exist). If you attach the script here (click +Insert -> Add File when posting a reply), I should be able to tell you what needs changing and what -- if anything -- cannot be implemented in Inquisit 4 syntax.

Thank you so much! Inquisit 4 syntax has no <paramaters> element; you can use <values> instead. That's the main change required. The attached revision should work under Inquisit 4.

Thank you so much! I combined all the experiments so that it would be in one file, but I'm actually using the batch feature to randomize them. Does batch work in 4 also? Thank you for all your help!

Thank you for all your help! Yes, your <batch> elements should work fine under Inquisit 4. However, don't take my word for it -- download and install Inquisit 4 Lab via https://www.millisecond.com/download and run your scripts through it.

+xWill do. Thanks so much, Dave. If you hit any compatibility problems with the other scripts under Inquisit 4, let me know here and I'll gladly take a look!

I dowloaded Inquisit 4 and ran the script, and it works really well--thank you! The only problems I've run into are formatting problems (e.g. changes with buttons, text shift, etc.) and for the most part they've been easy fixes, but for some reason the text of certain options of certain radio button questions are getting chopped off. For one of them, I was able to use /size to fix it, but for the others, the change seems impervious to /size manipulations. I've attached a screenshot as an example of what's going on.  I imagine I could simply change the size of the text, but if it's possible to avoid doing that, that'd be miraculous. I also might be missing something completely obvious, and if that's the case, I sincerely apologize for my obtuseness! Thank you so much! Darby

Darby I don't think you're missing anything obvious -- can you attach the script with the above cut-off question so I can take a closer look? Thanks.
