My oeuf.scm (egg) by samj shows and the dialogue comes up but I get a no argument error with or without a selection. Does it need an ellipse in the layer first, or a selection of some kind? I don't see any kind of instructions anywhere.

Have you looked at the post about it?
viewtopic.php?p=88957#p88957

Yes, I read the whole thread and it doesn't tell what to start out with. Do you make an ellipse and use the script on that? OR do I use a blank layer and run it on that. I have no idea how to make an egg out of this.

Is it possible that it actually creates a path? Haven't tested (no reason for me for now), but I've run into scripts thinking they don't do anything and it turns out that it creates paths.

When you run the script, it creates the path based on the dimensions entered and creates a separate image altogether, form any open image you may be using at the time.
There's no need to even have an image open or a canvas for that matter as well. The script creates it own image.

made with the last type GuiMarionLogo of the script(it is strange)

That's cool Marcello; the scolding robotic teacher is what I would call it. lol

Thanks wallace. I didn,t know that I didnt need an open image. That must be why i was getting the errors. I will give it a try in the morning, my pc is shut gown for the night.

What I'm saying is, that the script will create it's own image/canvas for the egg. Even if you have an image open or not, it doesn't matter either way.
When you run the script, it should still create it's own image/canvas. Regardless of whatever you may have open at the time or not.

Ok, I tried it with a layer, without a layer, moved the settings around bit, nothing happens except this.
I posted my script below if anyone wants to try it.

Wallace sent me his script to try and it is the same one I had but I get the same error with that one too.

EDIT: Maybe it is a Linux thing and isn't compiled for my version, I don't know.

Okay, I did what Wallace suggested and dragged my script folder out on to my desktop. I made a new script folder and placed the egg.scm into it and it now works.
Now I must have 500 scripts in the other folder and I don't know what to eliminate. I will go through them and see if there is anything that looks like it could be the culpert.

EDIT: FOUND THE CULPERT, thanks to Wallace, there was a script in there called egg-curve.scm and I removed that and now it is WORKING.

Lucky break Molly!
This could have taken a long time to sort through. Sometimes a little digging goes a long way.

You can "breathe a sigh of relief" Molly, the worst has passed and you're in the clear... for now anyway.

After all that, I hatched an egg, I will save it for Easter.

Molly!

Maybe we can colorize and paint them... lol
