ErrorLib for Revolution

It is a pleasure to announce that Economy-x-Talk is releasing a new library for Runtime Revolution 2.2 and later, called ErrorLib. ErrorLib gives you control of execution errors. Although ErrorLib is currently in beta stage, we don't expect any major problems. Nonetheless, if you need help or have any comments on errorLib, you can contact the support team.

With ErrorLib, you decide whether errors are reported and how they are reported. Password protected stacks no longer hamper bug reports from your clients and you will get all error information Revolution can possibly provide.

With errorLib, you have a simple light-weight set of scripts that you can include with your standalones and use in your IDE. The execution error dialog will no longer lock up your IDE if you use errorLib instead. You can easily parse error information and display the error, using either the built-in routines of errorLib or your own custom error dialog.

There are two different licenses for errorLib. The single user license can be used with one Revolution IDE, while the site license can be used if you have a multi-user license pack from Runtime Revolution Ltd. Both licenses allow inclusion of the library with your Revolution standalones. Unregistered copies of errorLib are fully functional during one hour after opening the stack.

ErrorLib Single User license

ErrorLib 1.0 Multi-User License

Random Numbers Client for Revolution

RndLib provides a set of functions to retrieve random numbers from the random.org server. You need an internet connection to use this library.

Download RndLib

RndLib requires Revolution 2.2 or later. It may work with earlier versions, but this has not been tested. You can download this compressed file, which contains the RndLib Revolution stack, documentation and license conditions.

Password Fields

This is a Revolution stack with a password field. The password field shows bullets when you enter a password. This new version is much better than the previous one! Feel free to download the stack here and copy the two fields into your own project.

ClearType Library

The ClearType Library for Runtime Revolution enables you to retrieve information about the system font settings on Windows. The library provides information about anti-aliasing, font gamma, font smoothing orientation and font size. You may also use the library to change these settings, although this is not recommended.

This library is freeware but not in the public domain. You can use it as you like, but you can't modify it. Download the ClearType Library here.

Small Arrows

A simple palette to create a little arrows object in the current topstack. Download it here and put the stack into your plugins folder.

Stack Launcher

This is a simple, small application that launches your stacks. It was made to work around an incompatibility of Revolution with Mac OS X 10.6. Just use Finder's Info window to tell Finder to open your stack with this launcher rather than Revolution. This application isn't perfect, yet. Please, give feedback to make it better! Download Stack Launcher here. You can put the Launcher anywhere inside your application folder, e.g. inside your Revolution Enterprise folder.
