Made a String outlet/inlet - do i need to modify the patcher?

#1

Just wondering if the reason the string outlets are not showing on a subpatch object is because the patcher is not being told to do so. Are the commands the ones found in the .java sources?

Here is the code I've modified for the patch/outlet object - its correct right?

 <license>BSD</license>
      <inlets>
         <charptr32 name="outlet" description="outlet"/>
      </inlets>
      <outlets/>
      <displays/>
      <params/>
      <attribs/>
      <code.declaration><![CDATA[char *_outlet;
]]></code.declaration>
      <code.krate><![CDATA[  _outlet = (char *)inlet_outlet;
]]></code.krate>

been making some big muxer objects lately and would be cool to make them into subpatches so i can reuse instances instead of having large networks in the master patch :smile:

#2

"inlet" and "outlet" objects rely on some magic in the code generator java code (in Patch.java).

#3

hmm i guess ill experiment! i assume i get the sources, compile a modified patcher and everything will magically work :smile:

#4

A github pull request would be welcome if you develop and test this!

trying to compile with netbeans but it seems its a bit changed since beta - too beginner to understand how to fix these errors:

**edit: well they arent really errors, i just dont have git or curl setup on this windows install in the right way. researching how to get Git and Curl for mingw..

not doing it right it seems - ive finally setup a github clone and ran the project with netbeans. during compilation i now have these errors:

running the app will result in a stuck loading screen.

i didnt get the dependencies though. It also seems the old instructions and docs need to be updated :smile:

#7

Those are warnings, you can ignore them.

#8

the magic happens in both of the patch.java files right? one in generatedobjects/ and one in axoloti/

#9

:open_mouth:

but cant really test it since i cant into compiling the rest of the stuff to update my axo and work with the new patcher

#10

ok testing now. so far it is ok! was just very boring copy pasting that was required for the patcher.java stuff. and totally guessed what was needed for the axo.

*** tried to do a pull request but something went wrong here (windows github client) . Will sort it out

#11

hopefully im getting it right. pull created.
