confusing convolution
-
Okay this one is really hurting my brain
My convolution doesn't work when I load an expansion...
Upon opening the plugin, I can select whatever impulse and everything works fine, but the instant I load an expansion the convolution goes mute.
I assume it is checking the Expansion folder for the audiofile, despite me specifically typing {PROJECT_FOLDER} in the string...
Has anyone else come across this? Is this normal behavior? Is there a way to just force it to use the default audio folder instead of the expansion one?
-
@iamlamprey I've noticed a problem that might be related. If I load an expansion that includes scripts in a sub folder of the main project I get a file not found error and the expansion won't load properly. I did a bit of debugging and found it's looking in the expansion directory instead of the parent project directory, but I couldn't figure out a solution.
-
@iamlamprey are you using the full instrument expansion mode? If not, you need to address the content in an expansion using the
{EXP:ExpansionName}
wildcard instead of{PROJECT_FOLDER}
. -
@christoph-hart I think he wants it to use the content of the project, not the expansion.

Yes, the IRs are in the main audiofiles folder, this problem appeared after swapping to develop/new_layout
Also I thought I might have somehow had two copies of source on my computer, so I did a clean install, but on the latest commit I keep getting this message
-
Still need help with this... in the latest commits I just get stuck in a "The Sample Directory Could Not Be Located" loop... I've changed nothing in my code so idk what is causing this
-
@iamlamprey Okay this commit gets rid of the Sample Missing prompt... but I still can't swap IRs in the convolution once I select an expansion
Edit: just noticed my cpu is jumping to 50% now without any FX turned on, I assume because I didn't compile my scriptnode trees (even though they're only a few nodes)
-
bumpy bump :) still need help with getting the convolution to NOT use the expansion audiofiles when I load one

How did you debug it to find out it's looking in the expansion folder? I assume the same thing can work for audiofiles

Alright I've tried a bunch of older commits, different expansion folders, different string formats ".wav, .WAV" etc and I still can't get this working.
Once I have an expansion loaded, the convolution tries to load files in the expansion folder instead of the main folder, despite
{PROJECT_FOLDER}
being present...inline function onComboBox_AmpCabSelectControl(component, value) { local fullCabName = "{PROJECT_FOLDER}Cab " + Math.round(value) + ".wav"; Amp_Cab.setFile(fullCabName); }; Content.getComponent("ComboBox_AmpCabSelect").setControlCallback(onComboBox_AmpCabSelectControl);
This code works on the master branch but not on develop. Idk what changed but it's doing my head in
I thought the ComboBox returning a decimal (1.0) instead of an int was the cause, but it still doesn't work with rounding, and I've tested Console.print() to make sure it was the right string
Out of ideas at this point

@d-healey Wish I was a c++ wizard :(
-
@iamlamprey You can be, if you start now and work at it for 5+ years :)

bumpy :)

Still need help with this... any new Commit I get stuck in a "The Sample directory could not be located" loop.
And any older commit past Master looks for audiofiles in the Expansion folder, despite me using
{PROJECT_FOLDER}
wild card.This is the last thing bottlenecking my MacOS release, I haven't changed a line of code since moving from Master to Develop

So this issue is fixed now?
-
@d-healey Sorry, any newer* commit
Anything on Develop branch is either looking for the audiofiles in the Expansion's subfolders, or its not embedding them in the first place
-
I might make a barebones expansion project and see if it can do what I need it to

Yeah that sounds similar to the issue I'm having.
