Full Instrument Expansions - how, what where....

[Lindon]

@David-Healey no - just loading the expansion project...it cant find anything, rebuilding a new test expansion project now.... called Test2

..ok thats back to working at least... now:

Building the hx1 file....
Expansion type = Full
Encryption key = Test

OK creating a new folder called Test2 in the AppData folder structure of the Player

Adding a Samples folder - with the LinkWindows file in it only...
Adding an empty UserPresets folder
putting my info.hxi that I just generated in the Test2 folder...

to get to this:

I load the Player project and execute this code:

reg eh = Engine.createExpansionHandler();
reg expansionList = eh.getExpansionList();
function instrumentMouseCallBack(event,panel)
{
	//Console.print(trace(event));
	if(event.doubleClick)
	{
		pos = InstrumentPanels.indexOf(panel);
		tempMouseJSON = getJSONforInstPanel(pos);
		//Content.getComponent("Label1").set("text", "here we load an expansion called:" + tempMouseJSON.ExpName);
		Console.print("loading an instrument........." + tempMouseJSON.ExpName);
		Console.clear();
		for(e in expansionList)
		{
			Console.print("the name of the expansion is:" + e.getProperties().Name);
		}
		
		eh.setCurrentExpansion("Test2");
		//Console.print(trace(eh.getExpansionList()));
	}
};

and nothing happens.......it cannot find the list of expansions in its AppData folder...

@Lindon

Interface: the app data folder is:C:\Users\Lindon\AppData\Roaming\NomadSounds\KeyEngine
Interface: the number of expansions found is:0

[David Healey]

@Lindon Put this in on init after you declare the expansion handler

for(e in eh.getExpansionList())
    Console.print(e.getProperties().Name);

[Lindon]

@David-Healey said in Full Instrument Expansions - how, what where....:

for(e in eh.getExpansionList())
Console.print(e.getProperties().Name);

done:

reg eh = Engine.createExpansionHandler();
reg expansionList = eh.getExpansionList();
for(e in eh.getExpansionList())
    Console.print("we have found expansion:" + e.getProperties().Name);

and the output is.....

Interface: USER SAMPLES LOCATION:D:\AudioContent\NomadSounds
Interface: library panel repaint getting called

As I say its not finding any expansions in the AppData folder structure...

What did you use to print this?

[Lindon]

@David-Healey

Console.print("the app data folder is:" + FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData).toString(0));

[Lindon]

@Lindon this is right yes?

[David Healey]

@Lindon Looks correct. I just noticed I'm compiling HISE with the HISE_ENABLE_EXPANSIONS=1 and HI_ENABLE_EXPANSION_EDITING=1 preprocessor definition2, I don't know if they are required though.

In your expansion projects you should leave the Expansion Type set to Disabled.

[Lindon]

@David-Healey looks like Im not - so let me go try that...(why was it working before tho?)

[David Healey]

@Lindon Dunno, just trying to find any differences between our setups.

[Lindon]

@David-Healey yeah...so doing this:

[Lindon]

@David-Healey -- sadly no different. Still not finding any expansions...

[Lindon]

..built an all new test loader - same problem - so its not the project, its something Im (not) doing...

[Lindon]

@David-Healey how long has this been working for you? Im on a HISE from April last year....

[David Healey]

@Lindon I've been using it for years

[Lindon]

@David-Healey Im all out of ideas.....can I send you the test loader and the expansion?

[Lindon]

@David-Healey oh, well... its working in the compiled plugin...

just not in HISE itself....

[Lindon]

@Lindon sigh..but not in the actual Player....

[Lindon]

grrrr..nope cant get it to load in the compiled plugin either....

[Lindon]

@David-Healey
Grasping at straws..

This is what you are doing?
