Help Needed - Chronolux & Curviloft Plugins

[Mike Backler]

Hi All

I have just installed the Chronolux and Curviloft plugins and I get the following error messages:
"Chronolux_ext.rb, date.rb, and yaml.rb - Superclass mismatch for Class Date Time"
"CurviloftTool.rb - Uninitialized constant Curviloft :: T6"

Could someone please tell me what I need to do to correct these errors.

Thanks

hi Mike

I suspect the the Date Time error is due to SU updating the Ruby version it uses and Chronolux is taking advantage of the new features...

For CurviloftTool.rb you also need Fredo's Library and a support ruby, have you got those?

I think Fredo's work on SU v6, but you'll need to check, or update to at least SU v7.1 if possible.

It's quite hard to maintain older scripts when most people want the 'latest' features.

good luck

Hi, Mike.
You can try to test special edition of Chronolux.
Installer download link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44695539/chronolux/chronolux_1_1_beta_special.exe
ZIP archive download link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44695539/chronolux/chronolux_1_1_beta_special.zip

Note, that it is not official release yet, because version 1.1 updating is still in progress now and one of new features will be the new "Time Settings" dialog (this functionality fortunately already implemented). I decided to use web-dialog for "Time Settings" instead of standard "UI.messagebox" method so it became possible to get rid of standard Ruby "Time" class extension. Java-script has its own built-in date strings parser and besides I found free DHTML calendar widget so date and time picking becomes more user-friendly now.

p.s. Can you tell, what is 'yaml.rb'?
You see, it is possible that yaml.rb is a plugin, which also tries to do something with Ruby standard Time Class and its behavior results name conflict (it's just an assumption).
Note, that Chronolux v.1.0 uses officially released Time class extension library, so it is actually rare situation, when it refuses to work, but I decided to get rid of standard class modification anyway in v.1.1 of Chronolux.
