[Utility] Scrive 5.0 Alpha out now!

Acezon, you get that error because you do no have .net framework installed as scrive needs it to work! Please install it and scrive should work properly. Also rickster000 the mysql database could have been down at that time, try again to see if it works now, if not we will check into it further. For now use scrive 3.3 as it is the version that is most stable and works 100 percent!

  Thanks,

Scrive 3.0(Stable): I am releasing a new version of the stable version of Scrive(Scrive version 3.0) the download is still the same as usual http://scrive.110mb.com/Scrive.zip. I added a few scripts and bug fixes. If the download doesn't work right away give it about two minutes as it is still uploading to the servers most likely.

Scrive 4.0 beta(Unstable): There is no update for version 4.0 yet but me and my team are working very hard to release the next version soon. I will be releasing Scrive beta in a 3 step beta. The 1st which you have already been given is simple and shows you what you can expect, the second is a major update adding lots of features like Scrive organizer and more, final will be the full complete Scrive 4.0 with a few features still needing to be added etc. Thanks to all who helped make Scrive what it is today!
 
I shall await the next release of this. Might I suggest that the maximize window button actually stretches the whole window rather than the background, other than that, this is a wonderful piece of programming.

Looks like a pretty good database of scripts there. I downloaded it and tried it, and I really liked it. I don't have that much of a use for it, but it really helps people by weeding out the bad, outdated, and buggy scripts.
 
Theres just on problem about Scrive 4.0...although its a great way to use MSQl databases to update easily...but what about the people who dont have the internet at home and have to go to libarys to use the net??

thats just a thought you might want to sort out?

like mabye when they connect to the net it updates the Ofline version so that you are not required to use the net.

also if you need anymore programmers to help..i'd love to help just email me at Rickster090@googlemail.com
 
Hey guys! Got some more news about Scrive 4.0!

Currently, we have fixed the whole image loading issue, as well as getting the information bar to work correctly. Along with that, the mode switcher for XP and VX now works, and reads from separate tables. Scrive 4 is finally coming together :D

Thank you for your patients, and we hopefully will have another beta out for you guys soon!

Also FF12_Master, I am planning on keeping scrive 3.0 as an offline version for those who done have an internet connection all the time like you said! That or I will make a basic version/alternate version of scrive 4.0 that is offline.
 
Scrive 4.0 Beta 2 is now officially released! Along with the release of Scrive, is an official forum for scrive. There are a lot of updates in this version of Scrive. We are working on adding all the scripts into the databse as you read this!

Either way, enjoy and find all those bugs! Also window vista users have to run the .exe as admin in this version for it to work. You can also fix this by turning off UAC(User account control) http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...nt-control-uac-the-easy-way-on-windows-vista/ We will release an update that may not need this for vista users if we can. Until then just run it as admin :D

Also here is a changelog for you to see what we have done:

Thank you for noticing that! Sorry just forgot the I :) the other links are correct. For the .zip link copy the whole link instead of clicking it.

Update:

Were working on the Scrive Organizer now, making a new version and everything. We are also working on a way to make scrive 4.0 offline or online! This way if you don't have a connection to the database it will make Scrive offline.

Scrive Organizer Status:

[][][][][][][][][][]

You will be notified by the autoupdater when there is a new version released.
Of course, you also need to pay attention to the patch notes, for we could start leaving hints when it will be completed.
 
Well we had a plan to do it for a long time ever since we made scrive 4.0 but it was how we were gonna do it that was the problem. Whether it was make a separate offline version or do something else. We have decided on this idea for now, if we can not accomplish it then a separate offline version will be made. The problem with an offline version like Scrive 3.3 is the file size once a lot a lot of scripts are added!
 
Which is why we are developing the offline version as soon as we get the organizer completely finished :D.

Update:

Scrive Organizer Status:

[][][][][][][][][][]

Scrive 4b4 out!
This release does absolutely nothing visible to the program, but Scrive Organizer now works! It uses an offline database. I included some bogus crap inside the databases so you can do whatever you want. However, the Organizer is nowhere near completed, so just stick around for the next release.

4.0 is finally released, the download still says beta but I assure you it is not beta ;). 4.0 is known as the online version of scrive and 3.0 will remain the offline version until 5.0 is released which wont be for a while. I am working on adding all the new and old VX scripts I have gathered that should be in the database soon so keep checking the program every hour or so to see the new list of vx scripts!

Also 4.5 is well under way, and the 4.0 engine is also refined. 4.5 uses new coding methods, which means a smaller overall code base to teach to any new programmers that may join (which we will need some to join us).

What's to come in 4.0:
Settings Menu.
Patching any holes/bugs up.

What's to come in 4.5 Beta 1:
Redefined Code Base.
New Bug Reporting system.
New Update Code/System.
(More for Admins like me): Changed the layout of the Bug Report files and Script Submission Files to be more user friendly for us admins.
Images and text load (almost) at the same time. Program waits for images to download first, and then displays it all at once. Options menu will disable images.
(Possibility): A very, VERY unstable offline database code laid out. This may wait until 4.5 Beta 2, but it is a possibility
 
have news!
Just released is Scrive 4.5 Beta 1!

Running on the newly recoded 4.5 engine, this scrive is hopefully faster and more stable. We've removed the default titlebar, and coded our own in.

The offline version is being overhauled, so the current one may or may not be working correctly. I kind of slapped it back together to release beta 1.

Planned features for next version:
* A button that will add the selected script from the online database into the offline database.
>> To do this, I need to change our database type from SDF (Sql Default), to Access (.mdb) format. This is because Access has the ability to store a query that is 63,999 characters. Some of our scripts in the collection top at 23000, and our current offline format only holds up to 8000 characters. This new offline system will be released and updated across beta 2 and beta 3. By 4.5 final, we should have all of scrive completed.
* Improved bug reporting system.
* Any other bug fixes that are needed.

You can also run your 4.0 version and update that way. If you dont want to update you can just click cancel!

Some future news for Scrive:
After we release 4.5 Final, I will most likely discontinue support for versions below 4.5. This means the 4.x versions and the 3.x.x versions. If you have any issues with those versions, please talk to me about it. This is because these versions of Scrive have an engine backend that is too old. 4.5's engine has newer code lines and is readable while 4.0's isn't, and the 3.x.x engine is totally different.
