Suppressing Min-Max Feedback Messages?

[jarvis24]

Yes, you can supress those automatic feedback messages by enter a value of '0' in the delay field (located in the Style File > Options). That will tell DirectRT to skip the messages if the time boundaries are broken. Let me know if that doesn't do the trick.

That sounds worth trying. However, i am not sure if it will be that simple, because the program does not use simple "rt:79" values in the Time column. Rather, it is designed to use custom rt fields that are stored in separate text files called rt1.txt and rt3.txt and that provide separate feedback based upon response latency and maintains a running total number of points or money earned. I tried writing a new custom file (rt4.txt) with #1,-1 -- but the problem is that for "no response" people are not supposed to earn points -- they are just supposed to get no feedback -- and then for responses, they are supposed to lose a point from the cumulative total being tracked. I am enclosing an example of one of these files (which works fine for cases in which people are supposed to respond) in case that helps to indicate how i should proceed:

#1,44,45,46
#2,79,80,81
1,1,00000,02000,Left: Correct! +3 points,+3
1,1,02001,03000,Left: Correct! +2 points,+2
1,1,03001,05000,Left: Correct! +1 point,+1
1,1,05001,10000,Left: Too Slow!-1 point,-1
1,0,00000,10000,Left: Wrong! -1 point,-1
2,1,00000,02000,Right: Correct! +3 points,+3
2,1,02001,03000,Right: Correct! +2 points,+2
2,1,03001,05000,Right: Correct! +1 point,+1
2,1,05001,10000,Right: Too Slow!-1 point,-1
2,0,00000,10000,Right: Wrong! -1 point,-1

Thanks for any input you can proivde.

Oh that really complicates it. I wrote that as a specialty function for Yana a LONG time ago and it doesn't really allow for all the usual DirectRT functions. Basically the program branches off and runs a bunch of custom code and then comes back when it's done. If you zip and send me your experiment folder (without stimuli) I'll run it here and see if there is anything I can suggest.
