Install Samples and .hr1
-
Is it normal for the .hr1 file to be 1 KB in size?
Only if you have very tiny samples :p Generally that's not a normal size but I won't hold it against you.
-
Thanks, do you have any idea why my vst doesn't sound after installing the samples from that .hr1?
-
@Felipe-Flores Probably because your .hr file isn't correct, I'm assuming it shouldn't be 1kb. What size is the extracted ch file?
-
So maybe I am compiling it the wrong way, because after compiling, I export samples for installer and at the end I only have the .dll file and the .hr1 file. Should I do something else?
-
@Felipe-Flores When you run your plugin it should ask you to locate the hr file, when you do that it will extract the samples from the hr.
The hr files is an archive, like a zip file, it is a container for the samples, it's not the samples themselves.
-
I still can not get my instrument to sound, I have compiled several times but it still does not sound, I tried on another computer and it has the same problem, I think my error is in the export configuration but I can not determine where exactly.
-
@Felipe-Flores When you run your plugin does it ask you to locate the hr file? And if so, once you locate the file does it extract the .ch files?
-
Yes, it does all that process successfully, but then the instrument does not sound. One question, should I convert all Samplemaps to Monoliths?
-

Yes. And all of the samples should be in the project's Samples folder.
-
I did a small test with another project and it worked. Now my problem is that I can't scan from scratch again the previous VST instrument to install the samples, I use Reaper, I pressed "Clear Plugins Cache" but it doesn't show the dialog to install samples anymore.
-
@Felipe-Flores You need to delete the link file which will be in your appData folder.
-
Thank you very much it worked perfectly. My instrument is already playing
-
@David-Healey is there a way to make your vst delete the link automaticaly so there fore you can install new hr file
-
@Jaytove what do you mean by automatically? What event would trigger it?
-
@David-Healey so if a user wants to install a new expansion how can i make it so that the same page comes up as when you erase the link file so that they can install yhe expansion that way
-
@David-Healey i am having an awful time figuring out the best way to install expansions i have 24 expansions already in hr1 format i just cant figure out the best way to make it so when auser gets a new expansion they can load it easily

You can delete the link file, but under what conditions do you want it to be deleted - when a button is clicked?
-
@David-Healey how can i make my vst reconize the hr file and load it into my vst without erasing the link file
-
@Jaytove If it's an expansion you need to use
ExpansionHandler.installExpansionFromPackage()
