Re: Thread for Discord crossposts
Wow -- but somehow Golly managed to use that version of the rule without complaining. I'm tempted to go look at Golly's parsing code and see how it manages that, but that would be a lot more than 15 minutes of my life that I wouldn't get back. In for a penny... Golly's parser gets the final token i...

Re: Thread for Discord crossposts
I'm drawing a blank on why LifeViewer is giving an "unsupported rule name" error, since the rule is definitely out there in the LifeWiki Rule namespace It's because there's an error in the rule definition. The following line ends with a ) rather than a }. That's 15 minutes of my life I'm not gettin...

Re: Pattern viewer for forum threads
I've noticed recently that when pressing the Graph button, there's a good chance the graph won't show up. Going back into the settings menu highlights the graph button as though it were indeed present, and you need to click it and go back into settings a third time and click Graph yet once more to ...

Re: safeopenclip.lua usability issues
I've just commited an update to safeopenclip.lua for community testing. Changes in this version: Better supports bounded grids. Will detect and remove invalid bounded grid definitions if requested. Will open a Golly Help window if an unsuported rule is found with a link to download and install the r...

Re: Golly 4.3b1
When setting the rule to a Hensel notation rulestring including the same digit twice in the same section of the rule, but with one followed by an inverted letter string and one by a non-inverted letter string, the rule that the algorithm follows is different from the rule that the canonicalized rul...

Re: safeopenclip.lua usability issues
This is deliberate. If there is an error in the bounded grid definition and it's carried across to the safe rule then the pattern still won't open. What do you think of the two-stage approach? Try opening the safe rule with the bounded-grid suffix, and then if that doesn't work, try the safe rule w...

Re: safeopenclip.lua usability issues
When Chris wrote the safeopenclip.lua script, he chose an "x = 1, y = 1, rule = Display256" header line for the "safe" RLE. Maybe when bounded grids are involved, that's not entirely safe after all? Have to do a bit more experimenting here. It's not clear yet what if anything we can reasonably do a...

Done. Thanks for the suggestion!confocaloid wrote: ↑March 22nd, 2024, 3:52 pmSuggestion: when the rule is changed from what was specified in the RLE, add the old rulename/rulestring in an additional autogenerated pattern comment line.

I've updated the patterns in the attached zip file so they use the canonical rule name "LifeInvestigator" rather than "StateInvestigator".

Re: [Rule]Investigator support in Golly
How about bundling Rule:StateInvestigator as a file in the "Rules" folder, so that the many existing patterns can be simply opened directly (either with File/Open, Ctrl+O or Alt+O) without changing the rulename? I tried pasting patterns from the linked collection into Golly 4.3b1 using the script s...

Last but not least, do we maybe need to add a "toInvestigator.lua" conversion script to go along with toStandard, toHistory, and toSuper? Shortcut key Alt+I, maybe? So probably an update will be needed at least to the toStandard.lua script. Dave are you planning these updates for the upcoming 4.3 G...

On Catagolue synthesis pages, using Save Pattern puts a bunch of stuff near the top on the same line, where it previously was on different lines. This includes the size and rule parameters of the RLE. Is this intended? It's not a LifeViewer issue. The HTML element that is being used to show the RLE...
