hi max

accessing netpd's _chat.pd through the menu would be a nice feature.

i don't know if a connected [netclient] is already a security issue, but 
  as soon as one starts [creator], others are able to upload&open 
patches (any ascii files) on all creators. so i'd suggest to disable the 
shell external and eventually run netpd on it's own user.
you shouldn't keep the original of your patches in netpd/patches and 
netpd/abs, but we all do anyway. a little backup sometimes couldn't hurt 
then.

Re: [PD] GEM light source

2008-01-16 Thread cyrille henry
hello,
i don't really understand.
can you post your patch?
if you have only 1 light source that is inside the geo, then it's possible that 
you can see insite the geo, but you don't have any light outside of the geos.
in french : tu eclaire seulement l'interieur, lexterieur reste ds le noir.

so you can try to add an ambient light in the gemchain of this particular geo.

just a gues.

the pduino patch expects you to use pd-extended.
you should be save by just removing the offending prefixes, if the 
objects can be found somehow else.

[PD] Split symbol into individual characters

2008-01-16 Thread Jerome Tuncer
Hi list,

I'm looking for a solution to split a symbol into its own individual

Anyone came up with this situation before ?

Re: [PD] Split symbol into individual characters

2008-01-16 Thread Bryan Jurish
moin Jerome,

you could use [any2string] to map a symbol to a list of float values,
and then use [string2any] to map those values back onto single-character
atoms... I believe the [pdstring] objects are in pd-extended; otherwise
they're available in sourceforge cvs or from me:

  http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~moocow/projects/pd

... Martin Peach's [str] utilities can do all of this a wee bit more
elegantly, but require that you patch your pd sources.

Bryan

[symbol2list] with an empty symbol as delimiter (the default is the 
space-symbol)

e.g.

Re: [PD] netpd on pd-extended

2008-01-16 Thread Roman Haefeli
yo hi

i try to explain how i see things, comments are still welcome, of
course. i am busy with my diploma project these days, so i might not be
accurate in every detail and i probably won't find time to work on netpd
for the next few months.

i don't think that netpd should be delivered with pd-extended for
various reasons:

- netpd writes files. this wouldn't work inside the application itself,
because at least on unix based system (and probably also in windows
since vista) a user doesn't have write access to where applications are
installed. this means, that netpd wouldn't work out of the box, but the
user would be forced to edit some configuration files, so that netpd
knows where to find patches/ and abs/ directories (which would need to
be created by the user) -> too much user work involved to setup netpd. 

- hans (or someone else with more expertise in project management than i
have) might want to correct me, if i am wrong, but i assume, that the
maintenance would become more difficult, since the structure of how
netpd would be implemented directly in pd-extended (all applications
inside the application, custom patches and abstractions outside) would
differ from the very simple layout that netpd has right now (everything
in a directory 'netpd' somewhere in the home of the user).

- i still consider netpd to be in some sort of a beta stage. though its
working and usuable, there are still some issue left, that need to be
solved. for a user updating netpd would be a pain, if some parts of it
are inside the pd-extended application. downloading a new archive of
netpd extracting it over the existing netpd installation is much
simpler. 

however, my goal (at least what i would like to achieve) is to make
netpd work with any flavour of pd, especially with pd-extended, out of
the box. this has become possible mainly because of the introduction of
the [declare] objectclass in pd. however, the bad news are, that miller
seems to be unsure about the correct way, how [declare] should work when
used inside abstractions. he announced in the pd-dev list, that he plans
to just disable [declare]'s inside abstractions in pd-0.41. at this
point, it's not quite clear, how this is going to affect netpd, but if
not only the '-path' flag are disabled, but also the '-sdtpath' flag,
then netpd-patches couldn't just simply declare their own dependencies
anymore (custom netpd-patches are technically abstractions inside
_creator.pd), but depedencies need to be declared beforehand (in the
pd-settingsfile, as with old versions of netpd). this definitely would
conflict with my plans to get rid of the authority of predefining a set
of dependencies. at least with pd-0.40 of any flavour, netpd-patch
developers have the freedom to declare any dependency they want and
their patches will work on any system out of the box, where those
dependencies are installed. with pd-0.41 we might have to turn back to a
more monarchic system again.

as long as such (severe) issues in pd aren't solved, i wouldn't want to
have netpd included in pd-extended.

Re: [PD] I just made a beginner's PD tutorial and posted it...

2008-01-16 Thread B. Bogart
Do you all think using pdpedia to link to examples like this would be a
misuse?

Perhaps it would be a site project, but more like a tutorial wiki with
links to various tutorials in different forms (video and otherwise).

I suppose that could just live on puredata.info as a main page.

Anyhow the idea of where is not important, but a structure in which all
these tutorials could be situated, based on keywords and such.

Is anyone making a multi-video cohesive tutorial set?

Just thinking aloud.

There is already http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials

The more people add to it the better it will be. I think it has  
potential especially for its free form -- ie. links to third party  
sites with various content form (video/pdf/html/tar of interactive  
tutorials etc). The categorizing could use some work though,  
especially when/if more content is added.

[PD] pd-extended, version

2008-01-16 Thread Ctrl Alt Back
Hi,

wandering what is the latest and supported version of pd-extended, 
and what is recomended setup.

i see there is pd version 0.41, and pd-extended 0.39.3. 
should be some pd version actualy installed prior to pd-extended, 
or is it not needed at all ? 

i tried :
sudo dpkg -i Pd-0.39.3-extended-debian-testing-i386.deb
dpkg-deb: unexpected end of file in version number in
Pd-0.39.3-extended-debian-testing-i386.deb
dpkg: error processing Pd-0.39.3-extended-debian-testing-i386.deb
(--install):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
 Errors were encountered while processing:
  Pd-0.39.3-extended-debian-testing-i386.deb
who can tell what is going on here ?

then i uncompressed Pd-0.39.3-extended.tar.bz2 which has inside
directories, but not .config or Make. any work for automake ?

You can get the latest .debs here:

There are also md5s to verify that the package is intact.

Re: [PD] netpd on pd-extended

2008-01-16 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

Hey,

I agree in that I don't think netpd should be included in Pd- 
extended.  It's an application in its own right, so it makes sense to  
keep it separate.  What would make sense is to make libraries out of  
netpd functionality and include that in Pd-extended.

For example, it would be awesome to have a generic chat client, or  
even better, an IRC client, included in Pd-extended.  Then netpd  
could use that same one, and it could also be used to open chat rooms  
from the Help menu.

Re: [PD] I just made a beginner's PD tutorial and posted it...

Considering how each language sections are already quite independent, I 
feel this is valid.

At least in my language, as far as I know of, there is no portal site on 
Pd that is currently active. If even just the front page of pdpedia in 
my language could provide info as you suggest, I feel that the 
connvenience of new comers will overcome the barreness of having 
resources spread and over lapping with 'puredata.info'.

Not that I know of anything to post soon... but I would like to note 
that you aren't the only one who's thought of it.
