Out of heap space - again .....

[Lindon]

@d-healey yep. but it wont even load as XML -- it says "building modules..." then crashes HISE

[orange]

@Lindon For "Images" and "AudioFiles" folders, there is a total 50MB limitation as far as I know.

If your "Images" + "AudioFiles" folders exceeds 50MB, you can optimize your image files and IR samples.

[d.healey]

Run your XML through this to check for errors - https://xmlvalidation.com/

[Lindon]

@d-healey All valid XML...

[d.healey]

@Lindon Try running the UI data xml through the validator too

[Lindon]

@d-healey yeah I did......

so everything is valid. But when I try and load Project and point at the xml it says "Building modules..." and never returns.. it just hangs there.

[ustk]

I often have a crash when loading my project (both XML and preset, because I always save both at the same time for security)
generally, when one is crashing, the other crashes too...
when I run my XML in a validator I get no errors.
What I tend to do when Hise crashes loading a project, is to go in the "Main Workspace" (modules) instead of going in the "scripting/interface workspace" before loading the xml. This way I have less chance to crash...

It seems that the crash is not due to the project itself, but an instability somewhere in Hise, generally when loading a big project... My current project has approximately 700 components in the interface, and Hise is not happy (very, very laggy on my i7-3.5GHz-32GoDDR3) when the interface window is showing up, but everything is back to normal when I only have the script/module window.

When it crashes, it crashes with all my different build of Hise.

[Lindon]

@ustk yes I get HISE crashing every single time I have a loaded project and then select Recent projects...

I select another project - HISE loads it ( I think) and then crashes immediately...

Meanwhile back at my problem...
I've tried loading my project from everywhere I can think of --- all cases it does this "Building modules..." and never comes back...

as I've said I really really do want all this nice new stuff, but theres some basic stuff that needs fixing first.

[ustk]

Agree that we need that kind of issues to be fixed, but the fact is that @Christoph-Hart doesn't know necessarily what's going on with our troubles, which doesn't help him much I guess...
It would be cool to send the complete project folder to him so he might check our problems

Have you tried to rise the "Compile Timeout" in Preferences/Development?

[Lindon]

oh no, now I cant believe whats going on. I just spent the last three hours rebuilding my project for it to fail in the same way again.....it was all loading correctly then I created a sample map with the sample pre-load set = -1 and re-(hand) entered all the loop points and cross fades and now it wont load at all....

@Christoph-Hart can I zip up my project and get you to look?

[d.healey]

@Lindon So the sample map loading strikes again!

[Christoph Hart]

Yeah, send it over.

[Lindon]

@d-healey yes.

So more investigation:

I have two sample maps loading - FastLeslie and SlowLeslie

one entry from the fast Leslie xml looks like this:

on entry from the slowLeslie looks like this:

• so the SlowLeslie has loops turned on and some pretty specific loop points and cross-fade.

HISE never finishes loading SlowLeslie......

If I copy the contents of FastLeslie to SlowLeslie, then everything loads fine....

So questions:

whats this doing? ----> Duplicate="1"

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart sending...

[Christoph Hart]

It tells the sampler that this sample is using an existing sample so it shares the same preload buffer.

Try removing it using a text editor and check if it loads (then do the same thing with the "LoopEnabled" property.

[Christoph Hart]

I downloaded the project but there are no samples, so there's no way for me to reproduce.

But there are two things I notice from looking at the SampleMap:

1. It uses absolute paths
2. There's no ID

Not sure how you ended up with this, but it should use the {PROJECT_FOLDER} wildcard and have a valid ID when you save the map.

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart HISE often saves samplemaps without an ID. Especially when other things are going weird.

In fact I made a thread about it - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/1297/serious-sample-map-bug

[ustk]

I can confirm having the same issue, sometimes, sample maps don't have ID's or even keep a wrong one no matter what you do...

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart OK I think I found a bug. When you set the preload size to = -1 then HISE will not load the project on start up.
