@HISEnberg don‘t do this - the entire c++ third party node system gives you a robust and established way to pull in third party code through a well defined interface. What do you want to do that isn‘t possible there?

@Orvillain I'm not certain my brain gets all this so pardon me if it's not helping...
But can't you do it the other way round, saving the module state with addModuleStateToUserPreset and then restore the UI components from it with updateConnectedComponentsFromModuleState?

@JulesV I ended up using a script that checks a flag if the plugin has been initialized or not. something like:

const var ProtoolsParameterFixer = Engine.createTimerObject(); const var InitialState0 = Content.getComponent("InitialState0"); inline function InitializeState() { if(InitialState0.getValue() == 1) { Engine.loadUserPreset("/Factory Reset.preset"); InitialState0.setValue(0); } } ProtoolsParameterFixer.setTimerCallback(function() { InitializeState(); this.stopTimer(); }); ProtoolsParameterFixer.startTimer(200);

@Daanyoo have you tried trace(ob) before passing it in? There is some funkiness going on with Post parameter handling. You might also have to call a header that sets the json content type.

@David-Healey & @dannytaurus thank you guys. I'll update.

@Straticah Yea I suspect this is your culprit:

https://forum.juce.com/t/br-webview-freezes-daw/64917

Do you have enablePersistence set to true?

Do you get any useful information when running your plugin through pluginval?

@David-Healey Ah that video flew under my radar!

Indeed I do have the same issue, same with the examples in the HISE docs. I've mainly gotten around this just sticking to the old school method of reg variables. I haven't seen many HISE scripts using Lambdas.

Something must be off with my HISE setup in XCode so I'll dig around a bit.

@HISEnberg

Indeed!
I've also got someone after this. But judging from the lack of movement on this, my guess is that it's troublesome to implement

@dannytaurus @Oli-Ullmann @Oli-Ullmann thank you all for the help, all your suggestions work great!

@ustk yeah ill just hide it.

I was gonna have it as part of the interface for the user to see cpu and ram usage, but its not really necessary.

Is there a way to get packages to prompt the user for a location to install a specific component such as samples?

@Casey-Kolb I seem to recall you were doing something like this?

@dannytaurus Oh cool! Bug or not I can at least make my project to work so thanks!

@Bart Wow, that interface is wild! 😮 😂

The synth I'm building is the start of a series, so I'm designing a layout that will work with all of them. Each one will have a couple of unique controls, so they all look slightly different but obviously from the same family.

@David-Healey yes this is what I use… just saying it’s broken too and after looking at the code they both use the same thing, so this explains why

@David-Healey Yeah, me too. But I thought for someone learning how to do the basics of optimising repetitive code into loops, I would just show the basic method.

@goldee What David means, if we're talking about the same thing, is that you can get an array of components and loop through them directly, instead of fetching each one by name.

const panels = Content.getAllComponents("instimg_pnl\\d+"); for (panel in panels) { panel.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}" + panel.getId() + ".png", "img"); panel.setPaintRoutine(function(g) { var a = this.getLocalBounds(0); g.drawImage("img", a, 0, 0); }); }

@Lindon I've used iLok on 4 of my plugins. Just wrapping, not fusion. Totally doable, but you'll be editing the HISE source to implant the code.

@ustk ah yeah, that's it

I would also like to throw my hat into the ring. :-)

I have spent most of my professional life as a composer for film, TV, and advertising. My clients include German TV stations as well as Bugatti Automobiles, Porsche, Nivea, and many more. I have also been involved in several gold and platinum chart productions.

Since 2022, I have released a few Kontakt libraries, and for the past 2.5 years, I have been working intensively with HISE. I am currently finishing my first plug-in. For this, I created all the graphics in HISE and also worked with Max and RNBO export and import in HISE. In addition, I have extensively studied the new HISE modulation system.

There are certainly some more experienced programmers than me in this post, which is why my unique selling point is probably that I have many years of experience in professional music production and sound design.

I look forward to working on projects together! :-)

@David-Healey thanks for this post! :-)

@Christoph-Hart said in C++ External Node & XML Issues:

@Orvillain I think the problem is that HISE converts Parameter IDs into actual attributes. This is only the case with hardcoded modules, script processors or DSP networks properly escape that in the value string.

<Processor Type="Hardcoded Master FX" ID="HardcodedMasterFX1" Bypassed="0" Network="No network" YourParameterGoesHere="0.5" TryValidating(That)="nope"> <EditorStates BodyShown="1" Visible="1" Solo="0"/> <ChildProcessors/> <RoutingMatrix NumSourceChannels="2" Channel0="0" Send0="-1" Channel1="1" Send1="-1"/> </Processor>

I do a bit of sanitizing at some place though (eg. remove white space for the XML attribute, so all my ramblings might be moot because I sprinkled a character sanitation in there too.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, gotcha. Yes, then that does make sense that parenthesis would possibly break things... and now I'm going to do a sweep through my code to see how many landmines I've invented. 😆

@shawntarget Please could u possibly send the code for it?
