AHHHH!!!
Why does this happen on every single program that I post!?
Use TiLP. It's the one thing that works for me...that and tilem. Seems to me that if it's third party, it's engineered to work instead of block people from doing things.

If that still doesn't help, I could try first posting it on a different web site (ticalc.org, perhaps) and posting a link here.

If all fails, I could just type the source for every program that I write and post .txt files.
I really hope that whatever the problem is, it isn't that bad...

Is there a thread on omnimaga like 'Posting Programs on Omnimaga for dummies' or something like that? Step-by-step instructions hopefully? Another format?
Something???

attachments? when you reply to a post, below the textbox that you enter the post there's something that says "Attach:" and to the right has a little button saying "Choose File" where you can click, and then search for a file on your computer. presumably, it's a .8xp (calculator program file) and then you click ok, and it'll attach the file to your post so others can download it.

I think he is reffering to how his previous program gave an incompatible type to everyone, as he attached it before.

What do you use normally, ti-connect? When you want to post something next time, don't change the extension, first test it on wabbitemu or the like to make sure it works, and/or type it out fully (although there is source coder you can use). What extension does it give as a default when you send it to the computer? umm, that's all I can think of...oh linux, windows, or mac?

Okay, I'll outline the process.

pre-edit:
I'm using, quoted from command prompt:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
[insert copyright junk] Microsoft Corp.

1) Installed TiLP 1.13.
2) Hooked up 84+, OS 2.43.
3) Launched TiLP
4) Right-clicked left part, selected Change Device (Ctrl+D).
5) Selected DirectLink cable, Port #1, TI84+. Clicked OK.
6) Clicked the Dirlist button on top, list of all programs on calc appeared.
7) On right pane, selected Change drive, L: (flash drive), navigated through (sic) organized folders to desired folder.

Opened Windows Explorer (not Internet, but folder), navigated to same folder as in right pane of TiLP window.
9) Went back to TiLP, click/dragged desired program (ie. ZSRCDMND and ΘSOUND) to right pane.
10) Logged on here, selected reply on bottom
11) Typed something
12) Selected Browse... to the right of the Attach: box
13) Clicked, say, ZSRCDMND
14) Clicked Open
15) Read attachment box. Validated right file.
16) Clicked Post.
Note: I already attached this file, as the error message told me, so I re-tried and it told me I already posted. So I went back and checked, and it wasn't there. Tried posting it again, same message. Another joyful moment at the library.

That's it. Any problems with the process?

_player1537 · « **Reply #394 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:52:17 pm »

so let me get this straight, you wen tto a library, installed tilp, and used that to send the program to a flash drive, then right after attached the program?

I assume the library has windows computers.

That should all be correct. (although I have a feeling installing stuff on library computers is against their TOS). Mind posting the program again, and maybe another random one (doesn't have to have anything important in it) as well (as in resend both and try posting again)

Darl181 · « **Reply #395 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:53:38 pm »

Probably get another error message, but I'll post something from the weekend. Hold on...

Okay. It worked in Tilem. Use tilem, somebody try it with that.

ZSRCTLE2.8Xp source
ΘTILES2.8Xp compiled executable

oops, random characters mean theta Θ (alt+233)

How about this, I'll attach some that don't use theta
COMPBOLT is compiled
Tested and works in Tilem .975

I repeat, somebody try it with TILEM

Library session times out in 17 minutes.
I may not be able to reply until tomorrow, about 11 pacific time

_player1537 · « **Reply #396 on:** July 06, 2010, 03:11:21 pm »

Every one of those failed Wabbitemu, except for COMPBOLT.8Xp

Going to try sending to the calc in a minute

Edit: Same thing with sending to calc, COMPBOLT.8Xp worked, the others did not

I think BuckeyeDude should examine those file formats, because it might be good that his emu supports this format.

Madskillz · « **Reply #398 on:** July 06, 2010, 07:31:03 pm »

I always had problems with programs with goofy characters like theta in TI-Connect. I would get rid of them and use a character like 'a' in place of them.

Darl181 · « **Reply #399 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:10:34 pm »

Yeah, I spent about an hour fighting with the TIOS's group thingy. It's the only way I know how to safely rename stuff on-calc.

Psst! I don't use ti-connect!
TI-connect or not, the thetas are gone. I have a different organizational system in place now.

Thetas or not, the programs worked in tilem.
All of them.

@DJ is BuckeyeDude one of the people who wrote wabbitemu or something?

Just in case it does make a difference somehow, I've attached some newer programs--in a zip folder
Tested, works

Hey!!
I just got a random idea, and it WORKS!!!
All you wabbitemu addicts, rejoice!
Well, that was kind of overkill, but whatever.

Apparently TiLP doesn't like receiving things from the archive.
Or is it wabbitemu not liking the Archive file setting?
I changed the files in 'beamsgalore' to the RAM and tried re-sending.
YAY

Working ones are posted.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #400 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:34:29 pm »

What do you use as linking software right now?

And yeah BuckeyeDude is part of the Wabbitemu dev team. You may need to PM him for support with your program files since he doesn't seem to notice that thread.

Btw, for this last zip file, BEAM1.8xp and BEAM2.8xp sends to WabbitEmu fine. The source files won't, though. Btw, here is a screenshot of the beam stuff. It looks quite nice and could be used very well for some animations

Sadly I don't have TilEm so I can't test the rest in it now, though. Anyway, screenshot of BEAM1 and 2 below!

EDIT: oooh I see now! Seems like it would be a nice bug to report to the TiLP team. Something similar happened when sending files to PindurTI back in the days

It sucks to have to use TilEm otherwise, because while at the time of its release it was the best emu around, now it's not even close to match WabbitEmu and even PindurTI, performance/accuracy-wise. Most people advise against using Flash Debugger, TilEm and Virtual TI.

ztrumpet · « **Reply #401 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:35:59 pm »

That looks nice! Excellent job!

Darl181 · « **Reply #402 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:44:37 pm »

Yeah, I got bored.
I was kind of busy/amusing myself last weekend making random animations involving quadrilaterals and lines and stuff.
I'll try to find some of my older ones that didn't work, put them in a zip file and post it.

PS. I don't really like saying the same thing multiple times, but if anybody else has something they want to post, don't let this whole wabbitemu-vs.-archive-file-setting thing stop you.
Let's get back on topic.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #403 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:49:39 pm »

Could you repost new copies of the other programs you posted, fixed for Wabbitemu the same way as you did for the beam ones?

I would like to see them in action but I don't feel like installing TilEm on this computer, not to mention I am not even sure if it's Windows 7 64 bit compatible

Darl181 · « **Reply #404 on:** July 07, 2010, 04:29:39 pm »

I was just about to do that.
in tiles2 they didn't have the dots on the sprites. RAM clear will fix.

All are source files,with an explanation txt file.
