Hey, 

I have a study i want to run using the digit symbol substitution task. However, the script from the Millisecond website is version 5 which does not allow me to run it with the school who has the license for Inquisit Version 4. 

Is there any way to change the script such that i can run it on Inquisit web player 4 (without upgrading it to version 5)? 

Can anyone help me out?

Yes. What you'd have to do is
- Download the Inquisit 5 version of the script,
- Open it in Inquisit Lab 4, and then
- Work through the code, i.e. replace all Inquisit 5-specific syntax features with Inquisit 4-syntax compatible equivalents (as far as any exist).

For example, Inquisit 4 syntax has no <parameters> element, so you'd have to replace that with <values>.

Give this a go and if you get stuck and don't know how to make a certain part compatible with Inquisit 4, post to this thread and I'll try to point you in the right direction.

Hi Dave,

Sorry for the late reply. I can't seem to be able to open the script you sent me, always resulting in error loading the symbol images from my folders. Is there anything I can do to change that?

Thanks again.

If you simply replace the original (Inquisit 5 compatible) script with the one attached above, i.e. put it in the same folder where the original script and images reside, things should work without any problem. I did just that and can confirm that the script works fine under Inquisit 4.
