@d-healey Hey David, yeah I did. But I already managed it to compile the plugin, just by changing the path in the juce_VST_Wrapper.cpp to an absolute path on my system.
Not an elegant solution, but worked for me. But nevertheless, I'd love to know, why it won't compile otherwise.
I tried to point to the VST3 SDK folder as well as the vst2.x folder inside it, none of them worked.
I also renamed the VST3 SDK folder, to VST3_SDK , because I thought, it might got something to do with the empty space in the directory name... didn't work either.

@d-healey Thank you for your superfast reply. :-)
I don't know what I have done wrong, I just recompiled it again, but this time I didn't use the autogenerated batch file, but just resaved the juce file manually after making sure, the flag was put inside the preprocessor definitions and now it works fine! :man_facepalming_medium-light_skin_tone:
Thank you anyway! ;-)

@toxonic Have you found a solution for this in the meantime? I have just encountered the same problem.

@VorosMusic That's the one and I've also discussed it a bit in the downloading files and unzipping videos, I also have a couple of additional videos about it on Patreon.

@toxonic

Okay so theres no validation going on, and some maybe incorrect naming, and an incorrect call to writeObject: so start like this:

//function store inline function writePreset (fileName, myJSONData) { local PresetFile = PresetDir.getChildFile(fileName); if (PresetFile.isFile()) { PresetFile.writeObject(myJSONData); }else{ // display an error here..... }; }

So the most obvious problem is you were trying to save an array when the command expects JSON, so you should fix that at least...

@toxonic You can do this:

@d-healey Ahh, i never looked into that category! :P Thank you for that hint! :-)

@ulrik Changing line 48 to g.setColour(this.data.buttonValues[i] ? this.data.onColour : Colours.black); was enough to change the on-colour.

@ustk Superb, thank you for your reply! ;-)

@Christoph-Hart Great! Thanks for the explanation! 😊

@lalalandsynth Thank you much, that's a good starting point! 😊

@ulrik At least this was a good suggestion! :-) Thanks! ;-)

@toxonic I changed the following lines....

// Sets the array as Control Value and repaints the panel inline function _updateInternal(p) { p.setValue(p.data.buttonValues); p.repaint(); p.changed(); }

to...

// Sets the array as Control Value and repaints the panel inline function _updateInternal(p) { local pGet = p.getValue(); for (i=0;i<p.data.buttonValues.length;i++) pGet[i] = p.data.buttonValues[i]; p.setValue(pGet); p.repaint(); p.changed(); }

I loaded the value of the panel into a local array, write the changes of the button data array to the local array and save the panel value again with p.setValue()
This works to me, when i set the maximum amount of steps (64) at compile time.

Nevertheless, thank you much for your effort! :-)

@d-healey Ok thanks david.
it's much clearer for me

@Matt_SF thank you man, this seems to be a good starting point! :-)

@d-healey @orange Awesome, thanks! :)

@toxonic The problem is that when the parameter order switches after a compilation - I need to keep the connections alive so that modulation or slider connections will retain their target but that's why this function is for.

@toxonic this has been reported before

@ulrik Actually, the core of all is the FXPanels Array. Whenever i drag one of the 6 FXPanels to another position, the order in the FXPanels array changes accordingly (so it's not about loading effects to the Hardcoded master FX slots, or changing their positions). So if I move FXPanel1 from slot1 to the second slot, the array index of it will change from [0] to [1]. I want to store this in the MainPanel so i have the same order of FXPanels on startup, like it was, when i quit the project the last time. Since the FXPanels Array contains Component references, this seems to be more difficult, than i thought.
I'll tinker around a bit and hope to find a solution. Anyway, thank you for your help. If you have further ideas, i'd appreciate any help! :-)
