there seem to be some texturing issues on mac. --------ISSUES SOLVED

I'm playing this right now. It's quite pretty, and it's a totally rad idea, but it's a bit confusing. I think part of this might be the gui issues (see below). Just a few things I'm seeing off the bat:

1. I'm getting "facing...couldn't create" errors when making a new point. (GEM instance)
2. There's also a "0-note: no such object" error. This pops up when I change OfB. (GEM instance)
3. "FX7-in: no such object" (audio instance). Same for other FX#-ins
4. I don't know if this has to do with the texturing issues on Mac you're talking about, but my gui looks different than the screenshot in your .pdf. None of the buttons have squares around them, and there's no indication that they are activated.

Also, you can avoid the "path setting" step by doing this:

[loadbang]
|
[getdir]
|
[symbol $1/( <-- [getdir] omits the final slash
|

But, yeah, cool idea! I'll play around some more and see if I notice anything else.

thanks for testing, maelstorm!

it seems like mac has problems with the combination of GEMgl polys and textures. i will think of something else.
the facing object which i forgot to include is good for nothing in here, its a remainer of some 3d gui stuff.
thanks for mentioning, ill throw it out.
the FX7-in error is generated, because there is only 4 effects in the player patch by now, so its missing some recieves.
the 0-note error is miraculous to me too. couldnt find it by now.

ill post it when i got it mac compatible.

should work for mac now.
used curve3d instead of gemGL quads.
just download it again under the link in the first post.

id like to add some more cool samples and some good patterns to it, so its a more satisfying experience from the start.
as im totaly non-musical id be happy if somebody would send me something that sounds nice.

Hello sonsofsol,

wow, looks very promising in the pdf but I got two errors opening it (in Windows):

error: [text3d]: cannot find font-file 'C:/temp/ZODIAC/vera.ttf' (should I put the font in the ZODIAC directory?)
error: 0-note: no such object

Thanks for sharing this work..

Alberto

that should help
