Right-click causes 'bong' error sound on mac

troyhome · 6 May 2009, 22:26

Whenever I right-click while using SU, i get a "bong" sound- the error sound made by my Mac. There are no problems with the right-click functioning- i just have to turn my sound off to get any work done.
Any ideas why?
It just started happening.

so you can't bring up the context menu?

what happens if you push control and left click?

I get the same issue on one of my XP machines, I turned the sound off.

The context menu comes up just fine- in fact everything works just fine... except the annoying beep.
I see it's not just a mac issue...
mysterious.

It could definitely be a script doing it. If you can figure out which script it is, I can help you remove the annonying boing from the code.

You might be on the right track, Chris. AS IF I'd remembered something like this.

You might be remembering the HouseBuilder script...

It could be the housebuilder script- i loaded that just around the time i upgraded the Fredolib and Freescale scripts... ??

I can confirm that housebuilder has a few beeps in it and once I installed it, it makes my right click beep all the time. I can't fix it and host the file here - against forum policy. So here's how to fix it on your own.

Open the file Plugins\HouseBuilder\HouseBuilderTool.rb in a text editor.

Search for the word "beep". There should be 7 of them, and they all are on a line like this:

UI.beep

Just add a # sign in front of that line. So it should look like:

#UI.beep

That will silence all beeps from the script. Again, there are 7 places that beep in the script. To be precise, I think it is the 4th one that is causing the right click beeps. It is on line 800 in my version of the script I just downloaded.

Hope that helps silence your beeps,

Chris

Thanks Ansi and Chris - yes, I can now remember.

Csaba what exactly is your avatar?

TIG · 8 May 2009, 15:04

I think Gaieus's avatar is a calm spined puffer-fish [blowfish] - or something equally ugly... Better than that ugly horse anyway...

Chris,
Thanks so much! this totally worked! I feel uneasy when things are not working as they should, so now i can relax

Chris Fullmer · 8 May 2009, 22:16

Good, glad it worked!

Hi!

First of all, I would like to say that I know absolutely nothing about programming. But I still tried to correct this error . And my english is not very good. Then ignore possible grammar errors.

I tried to do the walkthrough explained by Chris Fullmer, but couldn't find "UI.beep". When I open the HouseBuilderTool.rb file in a text editor, it appears as the posted image.
If you can give me another tip, my ears would appreciate it!

TIG · 2 Dec 2019, 15:15

Where did you get the HouseBuilder RBZ from ?

I guess it's the metric one, as that is obfuscated...

The latest version of it has the wayward UI.beep code removed...

There are links to the posts where you can download the very latest versions' RBZ files - see this post for those links:

Hi!

The last time I downloaded, yesterday, was from here:
https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=519210

But I've downloaded it so many times that I'm pretty lost ... So I have no idea which of the downloaded files I'm currently using. I believe I also converted rb to RBZ by changing the extension to ZIP. I don't know if this could have caused this "problem" of finding UI.beep.

I will try for this link you indicated!

paulofukuta · 2 Dec 2019, 20:41

Hi!

I accessed the link and downloaded the plugin again.
This time I downloaded the ZIP file instead of RZB. But still the same thing ... With the beep and opening the file RB also can not find the Ui.beep.

If you have one more tip, thank you for your help!

TIG · 3 Dec 2019, 18:11

Why haven't you downloaded the latest in RBZ format from one of the two links, that were given in the post that I linked to earlier ??

If you try any earlier versions you WILL have problems !

paulofukuta · 3 Dec 2019, 22:15

I tested both versions, RB and RZB, of this link you are pointing to. Both versions have beep.
