Hi all, newer versions of the CNMAT OSC objects or Max implement type tag
strings, which helps to overcome type misinterpretation. No idea though whether the PD OSC objects at hand understand these
type tags.

greetings, Thomas

hi david

pd doesn't distinguish between floats and ints, since all numbers are 32-bit-floats in pd (whereas max/msp DOES distinguish between
floats and ints). so what actually happens in your example, is that all
numbers are converted to floats (ints are converted to floats, not the other way around). afaict, this shouldn't be a problem as long as you stay in
pd. a problem might occur, when you want to send numbers from pd to
another app like max/msp. when you want to send '1.0', this is turned to
'1' by pd, so the app on the other side might think, it is an int, though
it is meant to be a float. i don't know of a nice way yet to overcome this.

Hey,

I am working on a project that sends OSC messages from PD, and for some reason, when dealing with message lists of mixed objects,
such as [send /OSC/blah 0.0 1.0 1.0], PD turns the floating point numbers
into int, but only when they represent whole numbers. Can anyone think
of a work around where they stay as floating point, or is there some
simple solution that I am missing (I can't be bothered to hack up an
external just to solve this).

thanks,

db

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I'm going to try Frank's patch, but the only sendOSC.c I can find is since 2002, and I cannot find it in any of the code trees. Where does it live nowadays?

%&$&§#§$§#!#?, forgot the patch. Why does this always happen at least once every two days?

alternatively it was suggested that a hacky temporary solution is to add 0.000001 (or something like it) to values, to make them not be automatically converted to int.

ultimately i think a new message for the sendOSC object should be implemented, called "sendtyped", that includes a typestring for expected arguments.

Maybe you can be bothered to make a tiny modification to sendOSC.c as in attached patch and recompile. THis should remove the automatic conversion. Use at your own risk, I didn't test this at all yet.
