Value Changed actor and am loving its uses (BTW it's not listed in the v3.0 manual, which i think is the latest one)

 This actor is rather new. We are working on a Manual update, so it will be included in the near future 😉
You can however read about it in the Isadora release notes. https://support.troikatronix.c...

sorry that I did not react for quite a while: my rehearsals are just very time-consuming and challenging.

thank you all for your answeres - that's very helpfull!

@Woland

as always from your side that's a very profund answere. thank you very much, especially for all your practical suggestions how to deal with my problem.

@Mr_J

also this is helpfull as a direction for me.

@Josafat

this is a very interesting observation - thank you for sharing it.

so far I am still working in 3.0.7 but I should come to a decision in this week and I have the tendency to follow the first suggestion of Woland (even if the internal hardrive of the old macpro is only 500 gb) and try the bootable partition with a newer os. as I jumpt from high sierra with a new M1Max-macbookpro directly to monterey - which works ok for me apart from the incredibly annoying orange dot - I'd be be very curious to know if you have a clear recommendation for mojave, catalina or big sur?

Exactly what I need! Thank you Woland!!

@benju Didn't you do something similar for the large spinning imagery spanning multiple beamers for Hexploitation? I think I remember you saying you used Virtual Stages. Do you think your approach would be applicable here?

@dusxThanks,

I still don't know wow to do that in Javascript, bit it is nice to know that is is possible.

Thanks again

@dillthekraut

If memory serves we already have this bug logged and the workaround is simply to add a fade time of 1 millisecond.

Best wishes,

Woland

Does the device appear in Apple's Audio Midi Setup Application?

@dusx thanks a lot - all sorted! cheers, Dave

I keep getting the error : "Input of fragment shader 'circle' not written by vertex shader" every time I try to input "circle" into any other part of the code.

I've tried "#define circle 2.0" or "float circle = circle" but I either get the error message or the code compiles into a blank screen.

Again, I would be very grateful to anybody who would be able to chat in real time about this project.

Thanks!

ps sorry for weird formatting

@dusx Thanks for the lightning fast reply! I missed that CPU to GPU converter actor, sounds like the right solution for me. I'll try and let you know how it goes in case the solution interests someone else.

I spent a few minutes and cleaned up the user actor

 Don't forget to put it on the Add-Ons Page if you haven't already 😉

@dusx

perfect. I found AHK before, but didn't know about the Add-On. Thank you so much!

For any ones interest; There is a a OSC enhancement for AHK.

sorry to crash you in on this thread, do you have it on hand?

 No problem... this is very much related. I believe this is the post you are after: https://community.troikatronix...

Hi there @jrhooker, 

You can either use OSC (OpenSourceControl) for this or use our Net Broadcaster /  Listener actors.

OSC will need a dedicated IP. Yes, in performance/installation environments we typically set static IPs in the DHCP lease of the Router, that way when we connect a device with a specific MAC address it will always link up with that IP address.

Net Broadcaster is great because you simply set the ID of the computer in the Isadora preferences menu. You don't have to set the Network IP address. Just plug all your devices in with the same router and you are ready to go, set your Network ID in the Isadora preferences so that they all have a unique ID and you are ready to go!

Net Broadcaster requires a router with Multicast support.

Thanks! I ended up using the Capture Stage to Picture Actor for for some solutions and Izzy Map for other moments. With 19 separate surfaces, I think I've got a solid grasp of Izzy Map. LOL.

I use the "Background Colour" actor to do exactly what you've done with the picture player.

 You can also use a GLSL Shader

@merni Hello Marco, I've found your user actor and javascript to be incredibly useful. Thank you!

I did go into the java script and change the style of cursor as you kindly pointed out to me. 

What I'd also like to do is alter the time between the PreText displaying and the TypeWriterText commencing - currently the TypeWriterText commences immediately as the scene is entered, I'd like to put a delay on this, preferably triggered by the video operator. Is this possible? If so, do I alter some of the java script? Please could you tell me which line of java script I need to make an alteration.

I hope this doesn't sound too complex.

Best, Simon

@jfg Thank you so very much. This works very well. The dancer will be able to know exactly when the background will change.

Thank you so much for helping me.

Joy and happiness from myself and the movement artist.

@bonemap @Fred Thank you for your advice - I will buy Loopback. I am having a few issues with Monterey - like getting rid of the graphic on screen 2.

I did not want to buy some software that did not work well on this system.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me.

Kindly VIXmedia
