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...
