Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: externals Group: None
Status: Open
Resolution: Out of Date Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Matteo Sisti Sette (sistisette) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: dumpOSC fails to create if no arguments
Initial Comment: If you try to create a [dumpOSC] without supplying a creation argument (the port number I guess, btw there's no help patch), it fails to create but it gives no specific error message. Just as if the dll wasn't found.

Message: IOhannes, OK I won't use dumpOSC, I didn't know it was deprecated. It would be fine to include some note in the help patches (which don't exist) so that a user can know the objects are deprecated.
Regarding this:
furthermore, [dumpOSC]will print out an error to the console if you
don't
specify an argument ("[dumpOSC] needs at least one argument")
maybe your version does; I use the Pd Extended precompiled binaries for Windows from puredata.info, and I can assure you that the only error message that appears on the consol is: dumpOSC: couldn't create

Message: furthermore, [dumpOSC]will print out an error to the console if you don't specify an argument ("[dumpOSC] needs at least one argument")
the message could be more meaningful (i changed that now), but it still has tto be read....

Message: i will not get tired of that: do not use [dumpOSC] (and other friends from OSCx), as they are buggy, outdated, unmaintained and superceded by the better-designed, up-to-date, actively maintained objects from mrpeach.
the objects are mainly there for legacy reasons.
