Splitting up an expansion, is it doable?
-
My Sofia Woodwinds library consists of flutes, clarinets, oboes, and bassoons. I don't want to ship these as separate expansions, I'd like a single "Sofia Woodwinds" expansion, but I would like to be able to provide individual sections to those who want them.
Any thoughts on how I can achieve this (without building a custom installer)?
-
@d-healey without an installer the only way would be to provide the presets, sample maps and sample. to drag into the appdata folder of the extension in my opinion. the hxi file will contain the presets. so if you remove some sample, your vst display missing sample and it is unpleasant. I don't know if I understood your problem.
-
@yall What about if I built the hxi with just the flutes, then build it again with just the clarinets, etc. So I end up with 4 hxi and 4 hr1 for the same expansion?
-
@d-healey my solution is without working with the hxi but directly the sample sample map and preset files
-
@yall Yeah but I don't want the user to have to start dragging files around. I'd rather use the expansion installer system if that's a possibility. I'll have to test it.
-
@d-healey then you would have to do several hxi. but your user will have to install the samples in the same place.
-
@yall If I use the expansion installer I think it will install the additional samples, just as if I'd released an update.
-
@d-healey yes it works without overwriting normally. I had already tried
-
@yall Excellent! That might be the way to do it then, thanks.
