Explore 3.4, Scratch mod
I have created a Scratch 1.4 mod called Explore, named this because not only am I exploring Squeak and Scratch in a whole new way but also the users of this mod will too. Explore has many features that let the user explore programming outside of Scratch - using files, the Internet, and more.

Download Explore 3.4

This the website for Explore: http://explore-programming.weebly.com/
Download Explore 3.4
The latest completed version of Explore is 3.4. Download. Explore is not a virus! Read here.
Please give feedback on how to make Explore better!
Help!
liam48D is writing a great guide to Explore here.
Also, check out the Scratch Wiki article for Explore.

Two problems:
Thanks you!
- I'm doing this mod off of the source code. Various features of the mod, like entering presentation mode or opening/importing a project, do not work. For instance, the File>Open button gives this error:It seems like maybe part of opening a project is undefined? Is this supposed to happen in the Scratch Source code? How can I fix things like this?
UndefinedObject(Object)>>error:
UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:
ScratchFileChooserDialog>>labelForHomeFolder
ScratchFileChooserDialog>>addShortcutButtons
ScratchFileChooserDialog>>type:
ScratchFileChooserDialog class>>openScratchFileFor:
ScratchFrameMorph>>openScratchProject
CustomMenu(SelectionMenu)>>invokeOn:at:
ScratchFrameMorph>>fileMenu:
ScratchMenuTitleMorph>>mouseDown: - Another problem: I have created two categories, called “Connect” and “More”. They show up on the category panes, but when I try to use the blocks I have put in them, they do not do anything. The blocks are colored red (like the obsolete blocks) but I added in the code to make them a different color. Any way to make them work again?
Thanks you!

#1. My mod does the same thing so i have to use the .image, if you were using an .exe, that's why.
#2.
So connect and more…. did you do certaino r g and b's, not the obsolete combination? also, they don't work? Are you sure the code is right? try putting one in control, and see if it works then, if it still doesn't work, it is the code.

1. Yeah, I'm using an exe. So if I use the .image and then save it with an exe for whoever's using it, will it work then?for Two problems:

2. I did enter a non-obsolete color code. I'm just redoing the whole process; I'll post again to give results.

Yes! I redid the same process, and now the blocks work. The only problem is that the block colors are still red. I'm going to use rgb for the color value instead, since I'm more familiar with it.
Edit: Fixed the colors too! And thank you SFollis; now it works having to do it in the .image.

How do you add a new menu on Scratch (menu as in File, Edit, Share, Help, etc.)?

oh this, sorry for being late D: i was working on something How do you add a new menu on Scratch (menu as in File, Edit, Share, Help, etc.)?
I actually haven't gotten this to work, but yet it might just work for you
goto
Scratch-UI-Panes>>ScratchFrameMorph>>initialization>>createMenuPanel
now, where it says
t1 _ #((#File #fileMenu (#Edit #editMenu (#Share #shareMenu (#Help #helpMenu ).
you replace it with this
t1 _ #((#File #fileMenu (#Edit #editMenu (#Share #shareMenu (#Help #helpMenu (#NewMenu #newmenuMenu.
then, go to
…>>…>>menu/button actions
then add
newmenuMenu: t1
| t2 |
t2 _ CustomMenu new.
then use
t2 add: ‘Text’ action: #textAction. —- adds a section you can choose, and if clicked, does the action.
t2 addLine. — adds the line in between sections
then add after your done doing that stuff
t2 localize.
#(3 4 5 ) do: [:t3 | t2 labels at: t3 put: ((t2 labels at: t3)
copyFrom: 1 to: (t2 labels at: t3) size - 1)
, ScratchTranslator ellipsesSuffix].
t2 invokeOn: self at: t1 bottomLeft + (0 @ 10)

That's fine; I was busy with other stuff anyway.oh this, sorry for being late D: i was working on something How do you add a new menu on Scratch (menu as in File, Edit, Share, Help, etc.)?
And thank you so much for the menu code! I'm busy with File I/O right now, but in a bit I'll be able to test it out.

Oh, and how do I get rid of the check-box from a reporter or boolean in the block palette?

No Stage monitor: The checkbox can be removed from next to a block by going to Scratch-Blocks >> CommandBlockMorph >> private >> canBecomeWatcher. Add #yourSelector:GoesHere: before “) includes: selector)”. Accept.
