@dustbro ok, managed to compile the scriptfx. I have a file called 'project.dylib' in the dll folder. Opened up the project and everything looks the same as before - The project doesn't use the new dll I don't think. What am I missing?! :face_with_tears_of_joy:

[Matt_SF]

@danh Same here. Managed to compile the network but not to use the "frozen" dll version... Works with expr.node networks though

[DanH]

@matt_sf did you get a .dll file after compilation? And do you get one when you compile an expr.node?

[DanH]

@matt_sf I get this message at the end of compilation, doesn't look quite right to me!

[Matt_SF]

@danh I do get a dll file for both networks but only the one with expr.node seems to use the actual dll... Don't know why

Not quite right indeed :D
You should see something like this :

Did you "Allow compilation" of your network ?
(Deselect everything an press "P")

[DanH]

@matt_sf I haven't done that , no. Where do I access that menu?

[DanH]

@danh found it!

[DanH]

@matt_sf Ok I've jumped through a few more hoops...

I rebuilt the script fx and now I get this error when trying to compile:

❌  /Users/DANH/Documents/HISEPROJECTS/TEST copy/DspNetworks/Binaries/Source/Main.cpp:18:25: no member named 'CHORUSNEW' in namespace 'project'

                registerNode<project::CHORUSNEW>();

I named the script fx 'CHORUSNEW' but that hasn't made any difference. I can see the script fx properly referenced in my project XML file... Any ideas?

[DanH]

@danh Right, CHORUSNEW.h has finally appeared in the source folder... Now a bunch of new errors when trying to compile

❌  /Users/DANH/Documents/HISEPROJECTS/TEST copy/DspNetworks/Binaries/Source/CHORUSNEW.h:82:41: use of class template 'jdsp::jpanner' requires template arguments

                                  jdsp::jpanner, 

Any ideas?!

[Matt_SF]

@danh I won't be of any help on that matter... What I noticed is that once you start messing around with compiling, changing names/nodes, compiling again, etc... It messes up the whole project and produces errors even after cleaning the build directory...

At the moment it's like : do it right the first time or don't do it
What you can try is to export your network, create a new project folder and start anew...

[DanH]

@matt_sf This is pretty much my experience! Will make it again and see!

1. Could anyone explain to my what is the "playground" "snex" and all that jazz ?
2. Can I build CPP withing the scriptnode to include/build in HISE for future use ?
3. What is this DLL business I see in this thread ?
4. Am I supposed to build scriptnode fx in the "playground/Snex" rather then within HISE ?

You can (and probably should) export your node networks as a dynamic library (DLL on Windows) that will be compiled into your HISE project. This converts the scriptnode patch to C++/Assembly which will also improve efficiency.

4. Am I supposed to build scriptnode fx in the "playground/Snex" rather then within HISE ?

You should use the SNEX Workbench.

Why , does it not end up the same when I export my plugin ? Not too concerned about performance while making it ...yet , anyways.

"You should use the SNEX Workbench."
So is SNEX Workbench meant for programming rather then a NODE environment ?

No it has to be compiled separately first.

It's for both.

Interesting, I was sure I read that it was the same in the end.

So what is the difference between making a dll and exporting as cpp ?
And what is the benefit of building an FX in SNEX Workbench rather then within Hise where I can make them In context ?

You can only compile the FX in the workbench. But like you I think it seems preferable to create the FX in a HISE project rather than the workbench, and then compile it when finished

[DanH]

@crd I don't think that's the case actually, I think you're better off compiling all scriptnode fx for better cpu usage.

"Be aware that this is another contender for worst CPU usage for a simple effect (if you compile it the CPU usage will drop significantly)."
