I'm attempting to create a Scratch 2.0 mod using the tutorial I made earlier, but it's far from complete. I've removed the link for now, since I technically don't have permission to distribute it. Features I've added so far:

• GUI icons from Scratch 1.4 (I liked the old, bitmap ones better)
  
• You can now put reporters into any menu or just type the value in
  
• The default sprite is now a Coyote
  
• More Blocks is now brown (like in 2.0 alpha)
  
• Redesigned “define” block shape
  
• Say/Think/Whisper/Shout block from early 2.0 alpha
  
• Graphic Effect reporter
  
• (( ) ^ ( )) block
  
• hide all sprites block
  

The default coyote costume is public domain and the sound is from junglewalk.com

Technically this was the first Scratch 2.0 mod (that I know of).

Hmm… wouldn't that technically be an extension? Or was it not made using the extension api? I've coded everything into the swf using a decompiler - was that that link you gave me made the same way? Or is there no technical distinction between extensions and modifications? (I'd change the title in that case.) Sorry for all the “or”s.

No, that was programmed in ActionScript. But it was sort of a joke, since I never distributed it. Here's a screenshot of the full app:



Explanation of why the blocks look sort of like extension blocks: I was too lazy to actually implement the HTML-rendering code, and Scratch colors blocks with unimplemented selectors as 0x505050 (which is pretty close to the extension block color 0x4b4a60). EDIT: Here's a version with correct colors:

Oh, I see now. Did you use Adobe Flash CS or CC to make that? I don't have either, so i use the built-in code editor in the decompiler I use, FFDec, which basically is just a text representation of all the hex codes in the swf file. Is there any better free tool? Every time I try adding blocks to the specs array, Scratch crashes as soon as I try opening it, and I don't know whether it's my fault or ffdec's. Edit: I got the flash debug projector, and it looks like I'm getting a stack overflow when I add another block onto the array. It works fine if I delete a block and then add one.

I used Adobe Flex, but I have the actual source code—you'd have to find a decompiler that got all the [Embed(…)]ed resources right.

I looked into this specific problem a little more. You need to:

1. Add a new block somewhere in the array:

   pushstring "new block!"
   pushstring "r"
   pushbyte 7
   pushstring "blockSelector"
   newarray 4

2. Change the length of the main array: newarray 245
   
3. Change the maxstack declaration at the top (because you end up with a deeper stack when you construct a longer array).
   

Update! Thanks to nXIII's help, I've added two new blocks - the say/think/whisper/shout block from early 2.0 alpha and a graphic effect reporter. I also changed the logo to Neigh temporarily since I'm technically not supposed to use the Scratch logo in mods. Edit: I've picked the name Coyote.

Please disregard this post. I wasn't thinking straight.

Yeah, n's just showing off.

Update 1: I made it so say and think blocks imported from Scratch will work. The first time I implemented the say/think/shout/whisper block I took the lazy way out and replaced the old say primitives with the new ones.
Update 2: I added this block:

(() ^ ())//category=operators

Update 3: I added this block:

hide all sprites//category=looks

Hi hate to bother but I can't download any of the flash files for some reason. Looking for Scratch v2011.05.20 if someone could link me directly to a download or something? Thanks and sorry for bothering again

Here's the direct link: http://scratch.gweb.io/swf/Scratch-v2011.05.20.swf Press the File menu, then Save Page As to save it.

The problem being that when I try opening it with Safari it just shows a white screen

Try downloading the Flash Player Projector and opening it with that.

Still not working sadly.

Well wait how would I open it using the Projector? I just downloaded the flash player over again

How would I open it with the Projector all I got was a redownload of the flash player

Edit: Flash projector isn't working I'm on a mac by the way

Alright downloaded the Flash Projector and I guess my download of the swf was corrupt so redownloaded that and all is well! thanks

Alright thanks works now

Does anyone know where in the code it decides whether an argument will accept a reporter or not? I'm trying to make it so all %m arguments will take reporters.
