servus roman, list,
i wanted to demonstrate netpd today here in melbourne and failed. on a intel mac os x 10.5: with a fresh pd-extended 0.4xx and downloaded netpd.zip i can open
_chat.pd. then when i click on creator additionally a blank patch
pops up called "pd cr.singletons" the console spills out:netclient ... couldn't create error: inlet: expected '' but got 'connect' ... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu. error: pd-cr.singletons: no such object
i can reproduce the same on my own machine os x 10.4 ppc.
[netclient] is part of maxlib. afaik, it should be found in extra/maxlib. netpd/_chat.pd has a [declare] in order to add the path of the maxlib folder. if it doesn't load, either [declare] on those versions of pd-extended are broken or netclient was moved. i'll have a look at that soon. probably it is just a matter of using an appropriate [declare].
also there is a small documentation bug:
it reads: START netpd
- start pd and open _chat.pd
- click the 'settings'-bang
- set your name
- click the 'save and close'-bang
- talk to other netpd-people and start a session
there is no 'settings"-bang, it's called 'pref' and doesn't look like
a bang. inside is a 'save&close' button.suggestion:
- hit the 'pref'-button to set your preferences
- set your name
- hit 'save&close'
yeah, thanks for the report.
i am sorry, that you weren't able to use netpd. i am currently quite busy with finishing my studies. i plan to spend more time on netpd (and development) afterwards. then i would like also to fix the netpd.org site, which was sadly spammed.
