OK it is not I bug, I figured out what is going on. The problem occurs
because when the projectM plugin is loaded at startup we dont have an
actual instance of projectM running. So it fills in the "mode" parameter
with a placeholder. Then when the plugin is enabled for the first time in
the application, the real values are read off and inserted into the list.
The only problem being that the "max" value is set by the initial
placeholder, so it gets the value 1 and unfortunately the plugin is not
allowed to alter the value of "max" after it is loaded. Setting the
parameter through the GUI is fine, as it only checks if it is a value in
the list, but setting it externally e.g. via OSC, it clamps the value to be
between min and max.
So, how to fix this ? I could set the max value from the length of the list
in the lives app, but I dont like this.
I think what I will do is this:
- set the max to some large value, eg. 100000 in the projectM setup,
overriding the 1 value.
- setting the value to beyond the end of the real max will be handled in
the plugin by wrapping round (ie. n mod real_max-1 + 1)
- to provide the real value of max, I will add a new OSC command, something
like: /effect_key/parameter/gui/choices/max
Sound reasonable ?
Gabriel.
