grok files

[loony28]

:twisted: Ok on the yahoo group someone said that a friend of theirs made grok files (hope I spelled it right and it's the right thing). Anyway they said that after running a grok file that their friend sent, they had urinated right in the chair like what is supposed to happen with one of the files on here. I'm wondering if that person is on here and if their friend still makes those files. It would be a good addition to this site. :twisted:

:twisted: Thanks for the info sandy. I was wondering what a grok file was and you provided the answer. :twisted:

:twisted: Thanks for the link dharden. I'm going to try it within the next few days. Perhaps it will work better for me (no offense intended EMG). Perhaps make a Grok file, for those that are more text based, to make one more suggestible to EMG's voice so they trance better using EMG's files. :twisted:

Wow, that seems to work really well for us.

I've tried editing the files a bit, but I'm mostly just experimenting to see what works.

I'd be interested to see some files other people have created for it.

[demigraff]

A random curiosity... I have asperger's syndrome, which I have previously been told could make me hard to hypnotise. I've now showed this program to a few other friends. Myself, my gf and another friend with AS all went into a deep trance immediately, the first time we tried it.

I can remember reading the words, and seeing the flashing lines, but I can't remember what any of the words actually said until I go back and look at the text file.

Another pair of random friends thought it "looked cool". A big difference in degree of effect. Is there maybe a correlation that people with Asperger's Syndrom are more affected by this program? Or is it just a coincidence in my circle of friends?



...now experimenting, combining TrainSusceptible and TrigOrgasm into a grock file. I'm basing my work both on EMG's scripts, and the example file that came with the grock program. I don't have much experience, but I'm hoping this file will work for us.

Thanks :)

:twisted: Interesting demigraff. Could you tell me what settings you used? It is an interesting question that you raise. :twisted:

[demigraff]

I read a document which said you should adjust the speed until you can read the words, then make it faster one click at a time until you just about can't keep up with them. For me, the speed settings are 2847/399, although I believe the actual speed that corresponds to depends on your computer.

I did find that using thicker lines seems to make it more effective for me. I have 18 lines, with the thickness set to 3. I've not touched the sound settings, as I don't know how to find a good value for them. Maybe I'll indulge in a little trial and error to see if I can find better values later.

The first file I've got finished to my satisfaction is a combination of TrainSusceptible and TrigOrgasm. Its probably nowhere near as good as a practised hypnotist could create, but it seems to be good enough for us.

Any suggestions on how I could go about improving this?

What do you do on Windows XP when it says
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Both Close and Ignore stop the app working.

Still no luck - I copied and pasted the exact script and saved it in the exact location but get the same message. :(
Thanks for the help though.

Make sure the file exists in the correct location with the correct extension. Notepad has an irritating habit of appending .txt on the end of the file so you finish up with autoexec.nt.txt and not autoexec.nt which is what you want.

[demigraff]

I suspect that windows' "user friendly" nature is getting in the way again. My first guess is that the filename could have ended up as "autoexec.nt.txt"?

[davelowe1977]

Hey I just said that!

loony28, I noticed some months ago that if grock.exe (or whatever the core program is called) is placed into a file, it cannot be moved from that file. Also, it is difficult to copy. I have handled that problem by placing grock.exe into a file (say, file A) devoted exclusively to grock.exe and perhaps containing a few of the auxiliary files. Then you can move file A, or you can make copies of file A (which automatically copies grock.exe). If you want, you can have as many of the .exe files as you have scripts.

I mentioned before that one of Grock's pluses is that you can write scripts in MS Word or WordPerfect...as long as you save the results as a .txt document. With these word-processing programs, you can copy sections extensively with no trouble, and you can search for particular portions of the script with the click of several keys. But there are drawbacks. :)

If you're like me, you wind up with scripts that are 200 pages long.

Also, I learned that the Search/Replace function can be very dangerous indeed. I thought I was changing "me" to "you". I was. I had sentences saying, "You look at your watch. You are running out of tiyou." For 200 pages.

I'm glad you found an up-to-date program. Dharden is a master detective.

demigraff, how lucky you are! I have looked at Grock off and on for over a year. It has no effect at all. I suppose one technique would be to make a script and then put it away for several months. As it stands, I know what's coming next; so there's no surprise, no anticipation. After I watch those steadily shrinking rectangles for while and listen to the metronomic clicks, I expect the Tardis to arrive at any moment.

Still, I think it's a very serviceable program. And it has the great benefit of not having too many bells and whistles which, as you know, can often give "user-friendly" Windows a case of dyspepsia.

It sounds as though you have had a better result with the program. Congratulations on that.

[BobbyS]

It's worked, but.. now I get another bloody message saying;
System Error
The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter protected mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH. Windows is now pissing you off.

Okay, maybe not that last sentence...

[loony28]

:twisted: Has anybody created grok files that work well? Perhaps we could persuade EMG to post those files on the site. :twisted:

I got it to run, but even with the course and fine speed set to zero it was over in a blink of and eye and there was no way I could even catch a hint of any of the phrases....oh well
