3 Quick Questions about Expansions!

A Former User

@d-healey said in 3 Quick Questions about Expansions!:

Both what?

The samples as a .ch1, and the info.hxi file both get extracted to the Samples folder (set using the FloatingTile).

This should happen automatically when you install the expansion. Post the code you're using to install the expansion.

const var expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();
var expansionDirectory = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Samples);

expHandler.setAllowedExpansionTypes([expHandler.FileBased, 
                                     expHandler.Intermediate, 
                                     expHandler.Encrypted]);

reg hr;

/*There's also the GUI elements:

1. A FloatingTile set to CustomSettings to change the designated Samples folder.
2. A button to locate and install the .hr1.
3. A button to set active  expansions (one for each expansion).
4. A debugging ComboBox that lists all the installed expansions - this ONLY shows the expansions when I move the info.hxi file from the Samples folder to my APPDATA folder on Windows. The samples and images still don't load.

*/

//Button to install user-selected expansion:

inline function onButton2Control(component, value)
{
        FileSystem.browse(expansionDirectory, false, "", function(result) 
    {
        hr = result;
        expHandler.installExpansionFromPackage(hr,test);
        expHandler.refreshExpansions();   
    });
};

//Button to set active expansion and load sample map:

inline function onExpansions_ButtonBloomControl(component, value)
{
    Engine.setCurrentExpansion("Bloom");
    currentExpansion = "Bloom";
    //Put Stuff Under This
    backgroundImage = ("{EXP::Bloom}bg_bloom.png");
    Image_BG.setAlpha(1);
    Image_BG.set("fileName", backgroundImage);  
    ComboBox_Atlas.set("visible", 0);
    SamplerRR.setAttribute(12, 0);
    Sampler_NoRR.setAttribute(12, 1);    
    SamplerRR.setBypassed(1-value);
    Sampler_NoRR.setBypassed(value);    
    SamplerRR.asSampler().loadSampleMap("{EXP::Bloom}Bloom_SampleMap");
};

Is it not loading the samples because of the {EXP::} stuff?

d.healey

expHandler.installExpansionFromPackage(hr,test);

Where does test magically appear from?

A Former User

@d-healey Sorry that's just a random thing while I was testing. It's:

const var test = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData);

But it's just made a folder on my desktop instead. Either way I had tried expansionDirectory as well as the constants like FileSystem.Samples to no avail.

d.healey

Here's a working example. I've already exported the .hr1 file and it contains the info.hxi. It was a bit finicky on my system but that could be because I'm on GNU/Linux. If I tried to run the installer from within the HISE project it didn't work properly, however once I exported to a standalone app (will work with plugin also) the installer worked as it should.

@d-healey Thanks for taking the time to make that, unfortunately it crashes Ableton and the standalone exe doesn't open (eats up 11% CPU). It only works when I comment out

inline function onbtnInstallControl(component, value)
{
    if (value)
    {
        FileSystem.browse("", false, "", function(result)
        {
            hr = result;
	    /*
            FileSystem.browseForDirectory("", function(dir)
            {
                expHandler.installExpansionFromPackage(hr, dir);
            });
            */
        });
    }
};

I'm guessing Windows doesn't like nested file browser functions?

d.healey

I've been using this code on Windows in another project. Run a debug in Visual Studio and see what's causing the crash.

A Former User

@d-healey How does one do this?

Edit: Ok went file -> open solution -> .exe -> debug -> start debug

and got

You need to make a debug build with debug symbols probably

A Former User

@d-healey as in a debug build of HISE instead of release?

d.healey

@iamlamprey A debug build of the project, not HISE.

A Former User

@d-healey

Too many arguments in API call FileSystem.browseForDirectory(). Expected: -1

Progress!

d.healey

@iamlamprey You sure you're on the latest scriptnode?

A Former User

@d-healey I downloaded the latest one from the Scriptnode branch (not the codegen rewrite) last night, but I do have multiple HISE builds...

d.healey

@iamlamprey

I do have multiple HISE builds...

Why? Use git.

A Former User

@d-healey Never understood how it worked but I guess now's as good a time as any to learn it

@d-healey Oh dude coming in hot with the "here's one i prepared earlier" :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: thanks so much for helping me out again

A Former User

@d-healey am I doing something wrong?

It's not automatically switching to the newer branches

d.healey

@iamlamprey

It's not automatically switching to the newer branches

Branch switching isn't automatic, you need to use the checkout command to switch to the branch you want.

A Former User

@d-healey I did, it's just not in the screenshot

the asterisk is on codegen but the compiled version is missing scriptnode (so it's the master branch from like 16 years ago)
