Run Script In Expansion

[d.healey]

@Casmat

1. Well that's automatic with the hr installer if I remember correctly because it gives the user the choice of where to install the samples and that populates the link file. You really should just go an try the built in installer and see how it works.

2. You'll have to find another way, you can't include extra scripts in your expansions.

3. Yeah the samples need to be in the location the link file in app data is pointing to.

4. I haven't seen anything in your use case that would prevent it.

@d-healey Tried exporting samples as an archive but the end result hr1 file doesn't seem to have the samples included as the file size is very small and is the exact same as the hxi file size. Do you know what I may be doing wrong? And i'm deciding on putting all samples into the main samples folder under my project folder, so I've set the location in the installer function to the samples folder, but after installing the hr file, nothing happens... Is there something I'm not getting?

Thanks for your help!

@Casmat

Do you know what I may be doing wrong?

Did you select the hxi in the sample exporter dialog window?

[Casmat]

@d-healey Yup, the info.hxi one in my expansion folder

[d.healey]

@Casmat Have the samples been converted to ch monoliths?

[Casmat]

@d-healey bingo! never heard of them before and definitely did not do anything with the sample files. Mind giving a quick rundown on what it is and how to do it? Tried doing tools -> convert all samples to monolith + samplemap but it says missing convert sampler..

Thanks!

@d-healey ooh! Handy! Will update you once I tinker round

Thanks

@d-healey got the ch1 files but the same issue when exporting the samples occurs. The hr1 file should include the size of the ch1 samples, right? Right now the hr1 file is still very small

[d.healey]

@Casmat Post a video of what you're doing

[Casmat]

@d-healey my screen capture has been bugging out, but hope this would be enough:

note: "Morphology - Night Owl" is one of the expansions

This was my popup values for the export samples as archive:

This is the generated hr1 file in main project folder:

info.hxi in "Morphology - Night Owl" file i used for the export samples page:

ch1 files in the "Morphology - Night Owl/Samples" folder:

what my ch1 converter page looked like:

samplemaps i used for the converter in "Morphology - Night Owl/SampleMaps":

main samples folder in the project folder after "installing" the hr1 file:

Hope this helps!

@Casmat You keep your projects in your Downloads folder?

It looks like you're doing everything correctly so I'm not sure why it's not working. What is the expansion type in your project preferences set to?

[Casmat]

@d-healey yeah, when testing out hise i had just put the project in the downloads and now i just stick with it haha! Heres the project settings: (dont mind the 1234...)

[d.healey]

@Casmat 1234 is the best, that's the secret key to run a library in Rhapsody ;)

I have no idea why it's not working. I suggest you make a new minimal test project with just a single sample and try and figure out what's happening.

[Casmat]

@d-healey true:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:! I’ll give it a go, what am I supposed to see once the hr1 package gets installed? Is the folder where you placed the samplers in the installer function supposed to populate with the ch1 files?

[d.healey]

@Casmat Yes you should the ch1 files

[Casmat]

@d-healey after deleting the expansion and starting from scratch, it seems to work, dont know why it didnt work before but now it does! I have installed the hr1 file and now the samples folder has the ch1 files. To revert the installation, I'd just need to delete the ch1 files, right? Is there any other files created by installing the hr1 file?

[d.healey]

@Casmat The hxi should be in the app data folder too

[Casmat]

@d-healey thanks so much!
