GenTables not updating

#1

Hi Rory,
I am basically done with my Plugin. I finished it in Cabbage 2.6.11 because I already noticed this problem when I updated to the official 2.8.0 release.
So far everything else seems good, but the graphics of my parametric EQ doesn’t show up anymore. It’s build with a bunch of GenTables stacked upon each other. I tried it again with 2.8.65 (2.8.74 didn’t open after installation). I realised by accident that the updated graphic is shown when I close the window and open it again. I tried updating at i and k rate. The video shows what happens.


Here’s the script for that (a tiny bit large though :grimacing:
EQ Curve13.csd (15.2 KB)
Is there anything that has changed recently, that you suspect could causing this?
#2

Is there any way you can produce a simple example that illustrates the problem? Otherwise this might take me a while to sort out…

#3

I think I have spotted the problem. But I won’t get a chance to fix it till later, or more likely tomorrow. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s sorted.

#4

Thanks, for looking into it! Let me know if you need anything!

#5

For now, the quick fix is to do this:

cabbageSet "table", "tableNumber", 1010

If I do this, I have to hide some images to get it to work, but I think that’s simply because I’m missing some assets?

#6

Thank you so much for sitting with this!
Interesting that it makes a difference over

cabbageSet “table”, “tableNumber(1010)”

So then I changed the code for the individual bands to

cabbageSet SIdent, “tableNumber”,iB + 1000

and that works.
I don’t have to hide anything for it though. I would like to know what you have to hide to make it work as I’m planing to distribute. This .csd is a fully working stand alone version for the GUI of the parametric EQ part of my plugin, nothing missing there.

#7

I probably should change all my cabbageSet lines in this manner, if it works better. I’ve translated those from the old chnset syntax.

#8

If you send me the complete .csd file along with the assets I can test. But I was missing some images?

#9

I see it. There’s one that should be missing. Created it with Cabbage but than “sampled” it to reduce my code:

image bounds(75,30,330,180) file(“GUI_Rescources/EqBackground.png”)

Coming in a second…

#10

This:EqBackground
But it’s just a “shade” for a nice look. You can also just delete it.

#11

Yeah I would probably use an image for the lines rather than a widgetArray, I think it would be more efficient, and lead to less code, which I think is generally a good thing :thinking:

[edit] It’s working nicely here :+1:

#12

I eventually did just sample the background without the shade for the plugin.

#13

Awesome, it actually works much faster now!!! All the graphics.
What ever you changed since 2.6. Woow, well done!

#14

A lot has changed since 2.6 :laughing: The introduction of guiMode("queue") has really helped to speed things up.

#15

That was already in 2.6. but you clearly advanced with it. I can drag an EQ band now while a soundfiler is scrolling through playback of a sample and everything is super smooth.

That’s incredible!!! And I’m getting really excited about my plugin this way. I wonder if it also loads faster now…

#16

WHAT!!! HELL YEAH!!!
Loading time is basically eliminated. Wow!

I have a lot of filmstrips. One of them is quite large and is only for a nice look. I had to juggle a lot with resolution and “frame rate” to make the loading time acceptable. It just pops up now.
I can rethink some stuff there.

Rah, Rah, Rory!

#17

Oh yeah, that dramatically improved too! I worked with @Kzz on that one. He was sending more some incredibly complex instruments to test with. In the end I think we reduced the load time by more than a 2/3rds.

#18

My Plugin loads rather 3 times as fast!
