Hi Chris,
I tried Ergates in PD 0.39-2 extended on Win XP (still without joypad). In order to make it working I had to:
- get the -> last <- s-abstraction pack (I didn't
have sx/shadow..)
- on XP, like Frank said, I had to disable the loadbang
feature (otherwise PD crashes immediately). So I load the patch by starting PD with -noloadbang
- press the messages activated by loadbang by hand (at least
the one I was able to find)
- for some reason I had to make the font arial.ttf
visible to GEM (it wasn't, maybe my setup of GEM is not optimal...)
At this point I can see the GEM window more or less like in your screenshots, with the geos floating, but still I got a lot of error messages from GEM:
GL: value not valid error: inlet: expected '' but got 'gem_state'
Any hints ?
In any case no sound.
Hopefully this weekend I'll try to make a in-depth look at it, also on Linux. Indeed it would be very nice if you can get the joypad working with [hid] instead of python..
A question: How do you switch between the patterns you show in your screenshots?
All the best,
Alberto Zin
