bug?
by jfm3 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

If I type a space in a label for an Hslider or Vslider, it appears to overwrite the rest of the data associated with that slider (colors, font size, etc.). This is probably very bad. -- (jfm3)

gem .87 bug
by Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

I've been playing with the pix_video under linux and have noticed a bug. I have two objects in my scene. I want the video plane behind a translucent object. If I change my gemheads so that the video plane is behind the translucent object (so the video is rendered first, ie gemhead 1) PD segfaults when I render. If the translucent object is on gemhead 5, then If I put the video on gemhead 1,2,3,4 then I get the segfault, if I set the video to render after the translucent object (gemhead 5,6,7,8 etc) then there is no segfault, but obviously the object is no longer translucent. Does this basically mean that one can't render video behind an object which calculates alpha? Let me know if you need more info, if I should send an example patch. Thanks Ben B. Bogart ---------

recursive patches?
by ggkarman＠airtel.net 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Is there anyway to go around the limit of not being able to load an abstraction within itself, that is, creating recursive patches? thank you __________________________________________________________________ ¿Quieres conocer todo sobre el mundial?¿Quieres que lleguen los goles de España a tu móvil?¿Quieres ganar equipaciones de la selección? ¿Quieres que suene el himno nacional en tu móvil?¿Quieres animar a la selección y que tu mensaje lo vean miles de personas?

/dev/dsp* trouble with Debian 2.2rev6 on PPC
by Kevin C. Baird 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hello. Does anyone have experience with running Debian 2.2rev6 on a New World G4 with pd? My "out of the box" installation won't allow me to write to my /dev/dsp* devices. chmoding 777 does nothing, superuser status does nothing. This is not just with pd, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks. -- Kevin Baird kcbaird(a)world.oberlin.edu | http://www.septemberquestion.org/

Re: Recursive Patches
by ggkarman＠airtel.net 25 Jun '02

Thank you so much, it really seems that is what i was looking for but unfortunately i have no experience with the shell or canvases and i couldnt find any info on this in pd's documentation. I really need some step by step instructions or references to get this working. I guess that my limited understanding of english is making things even harder. My (really) basic questions are the following: >In case of a not too deep recursion, probably the simplest would >be to put something like [$1-quap $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 ...] into >1-quap.pd Does this mean making a new patch whose name is l-quap.pd and contains a message box with the text [; $1-quap $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 ...] in it? >then make a dummy 0-quap.pd, does this mean making a copy of the patch 1-quap.pd containing the same message box and saving it? >nd type something like >for fn in {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...}-quap.pd ; do ln -sf 1-quap.pd $fn ; done >into the shell i guess the shell is reached by going to /edit/texteditor. Do i have to have both patches open (does this even make sense?)? Does it matter from what patch i launch the text editor? When i type in the text editor and send what you suggested pd returns: {:dropped }:dropped and nothing else happens. Is this an error? What should happen now? Thanks again __________________________________________________________________ ¿Quieres conocer todo sobre el mundial?¿Quieres que lleguen los goles de España a tu móvil?¿Quieres ganar equipaciones de la selección? ¿Quieres que suene el himno nacional en tu móvil?¿Quieres animar a la selección y que tu mensaje lo vean miles de personas?

Spigot Creation agruments?
by David Sabine 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hello, [spigot] confuses me a little. It seems that the only creation argument that it accepts is a "zero". However, "zero" is the default state for spigot even without the creation argument? Would it make sense to re-write [spigot] to accept "0" or "1" as a creation argument which could then effectively be used to define its default state? Can somebody clarify this issue for me? Many thanks, Dave Sabine

some clues about dynamic creation
by Yves Degoyon 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

hi, i've transformed my former "filterbank resynthesis patch" so that you can now set the number of filters used for filtering/resynthesis. by making this, i discovered the followings faulty behaviours with messaging : a/ "find" & "cut" messages make PD crash if the patch is not displayed. the message is : "Consistency check failed: glist_findrtext" some people reported that it crashes "sometimes", i guess that's because the patch whose messages are sent to were not open. b/ "pop" message doesn't work : the message is : "Consistency check failed: gstack_pop" c/ some errors is Henry Damien's doc ( which was a precious help, i must say ) : * there's no "editmode 0" or "editmode 1", it's rather a toggle and the message is only "editmode" ** unlike "editmode", "vis" message requires an argument : "vis 0" or "vis 1". i'm using test17. cheers, yves
