Wavetable export issue

[Lindon]

Okay so I have generated a set of wavetables fine. I've added them to my project - in the Audio Files folder, and I can load them into HISE and hear them playing in HISE.

I build a VST and the wavetables stop working (I think its not exporting and including the hwt files) what am I doing wrong?

[d.healey]

@Lindon Should the wavetables be embedded in the plugin or are they in a separate .dat file?

[Lindon]

@d-healey they should be embeded no?

[d.healey]

@Lindon I have no idea, I'm just making guesses.

[Matt_SF]

@Lindon They are not embedded into the plugin, and not installed automatically.
The *.hwt files must be copied manually into appData/Audio files/

Is the WaveTable synth production-ready now?

thanks.

Sigh - but that's not good news - its looking more and more like I have to build my own installer in HISE....meanwhile I need to work out how to get inno and WhiteBox to install these in the correct place - inno I think should be pretty easy....anyone got any clues for WhiteBox Packages?

@Lindon I'll be at home soon and I'll post both scripts I'm using to install the files

@Matt_SF cool thanks.

@Lindon On MacOs, setup Packages like this :

And use this post script :

#!/bin/sh
# ensure plugin directory actually exists
sudo -u $USER mkdir -p $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Company\ Name/Product\ Name/

# move and sync files from temporary payload to real plugin directory
/usr/bin/rsync -avurpE --remove-source-files /Library/Application\ Support/Company\ Name/Product\ Name/ $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Company\ Name/Product\ Name/

# ensure permissions are recursively set to current user for plugin directory
sudo find $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Company\ Name/ -type d -user root -exec sudo chown -R $USER: {} +

# remove temporary folder
find /Library/Application\ Support/Company\ Name/ -type d -empty -delete

exit 0

Basically, the installer will copy the files in the 'HD/Library/etc...' folder and the script will move them to the user appData folder.

This is not my work : the original script was posted by @dustbro, in this thread.

@Lindon On windows I'm using this script :

  RestartReplace (ExpandConstant ('{log}'), '');
end;

[UninstallDelete]

(Note that I'm only offering VST3 plugins).

It works fine but I'm not an expert at Inno Setup, so anyone is welcome to correct me :)

Inspired by the original script by @orange, found in this thread.

@Matt_SF thanks Mat - I will take a run at it...
