I've just uploaded this new script to the site, called 'SexScripts Tutorial'.

This script is based on the default 'test.groovy' script that comes with SexScripts. The original was written by Doti, and all credit for the initial idea and versions goes to him.

I actually made it initially as a personal resource, so I could have all my code snippets handy and a quick reference on how to script common tasks in SS. I eventually expanded it into something more detailed and friendly for others to use and read.

I have tried to make both the running script and the code itself easy to read and follow.

Hopefully this will prove a useful reference and source of "code snippets" for those wanting to make their own scripts!

Please post any feedback or suggestions for new examples to add in this thread, as I am happy to add new useful "tricks" to this script that people might find helpful.

Latest Version: v1.8

Requirements
None

Download
Via MediaFire or SexScripts Database

Everything ok, nice

This tutorial showed a bug in the software.
It will open an ton of IE screens when you dont have an email client installed or configured.
IE is not my default browser, chrome is.

There are actually two problems I discovered through making this:

1) If you don't have a default email client or a media file type registered with a player, there will be unexpected issues. Not sure how to get around this short of SS handling media playing internally (which I know a few of us have requested but understand it's a lot of work) or even an option to handle emailing internally.

2) when you are asked to pick an image (second time in tutorial), if you don't pick one or choose "cancel", the program hangs. Could this be fixed with some sort of "returns null" if clause?

SexScripts has not much control over this. I add a test.


getFile() contains "return null", you shoud use it, but it will make the tutorial a little bit more complicated

Just wanted to ask, Doti, if I wanted to update this script (which hopefully newcomers still find useful), are there any new SS features I should add to the tutorial that didn't exist when I last published this?

Yes, your question shows a project managment error, there's no archive of the documentation.
So, in this page : viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2 :
- isConnected(), receiveBoolean(), receiveFloat(), receiveImage(), receiveInteger(), receiveString(), send(), sendImage()
- setImage(byte[] bytes, int useless)
- getImage(String message)

Just finished adding a few tweaks to the tutorial update. Are those new functions all "connect to the net" functions? Since I'm avoiding using those, I just wanted to make sure there were no new offline commands to add to the tutorial before posting.

Those functions do not connect to the net
- setImage(byte[] bytes, int useless)
- getImage(String message)

Thanks!

So getImage is for webcams only?

What does that setImage variant do, though? That description in the documentation is beyond my understanding.

This version of setImage() is an advanced one, if you build the image yourself. Used by The White Queen and Interesting night.
That's why it receives an array of bytes (byte[]), that is, a big chunk of data. This generic state makes it possible to load from a file, build with the help of a library, etc.

getImage should fall back to selecting a file so should work even if you don't have a webcam.

The setImage variant is used in the overlay example so you have that already

Updated with some very basic examples of using arrays, and how this can be useful.

All of this is very good.

Just one thing, there is a standard email address domain for samples : whatyouwant@example.org (or example.com, .net, .edu).

Small update to fix missing file errors in previous version.
