## Ultraschall Framework - Changelog

4.7 - "Pearl Jam - Alive" - 16th of October 2022

Has now 1590 functions, with 58 new ones

new in this release:

• Marker Menu
  You can code now your own left-click marker-context-menus. Add Entries with MarkerMenu_InsertEntry and MarkerMenu_InsertEntry_DefaultMarkers
  and start the menu with MarkerMenu_Start. You can add new menuentries or remove them during runtime. So if you add a new marker-menu-entry, it will
  be shown in the menu the next time the user hits left-click on a marker.
  And: you can create menus for custom markers as well. So a custom marker called _ShowNote: can have a different menu than _AliceInWonderland:
  It also includes regions.
  And action-marker.
  
• ShowNote/Podcast Metadata
  Relevant for podcasting use-cases, you can now add metadata to shownote/normal-markers as well as podcast/podcast-episode metadata.
  Future versions will include export functions for putting them into the mediafile's metadata.
  
• EventManager - Debug
  New features for debugging EventManager stuff, like getting additional states and execution-times. So you can check for performance.
  And if you don't want to code one yourself: there's a EventManager monitoring-script in the developer-tools, which shows you the
  execution-times for each check-function-cycle AND the time from after the end of the execution-time until the next one.
  This allows you to tweak performance for your check-functions. The monitoring-tool even gives you a hint, how low the execution-times
  must be for Reaper's UI not lagging.
  
• Get Project-time by MediaSource-time and the other way round
  Get the exact project position from a given source-position or the exact source-position from a project-position.
  So inserting take-markers at project-position is now possible. Or other cool stuff, where you need to convert the
  project-position into take-position.
  
• ScaleFromDPIFromScale
  You can convert now the dpi-value currently set into its corresponding scale-value vice versa. With that, you can always scale
  your script's ui properly.
  
• Base64De/Encoder, ASCII2HEX2ASCII-enocders
  Used to be slow on bigger strings. Not anymore. Sped up by magnitudes...
  
• Create/Get-Render-CFG-functions
  FFMPEG-support added, NONE as video/audio-format added, wmf-support added
  
• Render functions
  Support now marker-rendering and fade-in/out-feature
  
• Bugfixes Bugfixes Bugfixes

Hey, I totally forgot about your issue. Had real bad health-problems in the last few months so it got swept under.

I put it on my ToDo-List for the next release...

[WarrenG]

During updates I get the following every time.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ul...tem_mouse.lua:
HTTP response code said error (22): The requested URL returned error: 404

Warren

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Can you try again and see, if it's fixed?

[WarrenG]

Sorry tried a few times with the same error, maybe Reapack has not updates yet I will try again in about ten minutes.

Warren

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Ah, yeah, sometimes GitHub needs a moment to refresh the files...

Edit: It should work now...I hope...

No idea, why the bug happened....

[WarrenG]

That did it!!

Thank you, look forward to trying the updates.

Warren

[Gandhi360]

No worries! I checked the forum every few days and got quite worried since you haven't posted anything, so I'm just glad you are back and hope you have overcome your health problems

[binbinhfr]

Hi Mespotine,

I'm very interested by changing the global lock state with its options.
I saw that you provide :
integer lock_state = ultraschall.GetProject_Lock(string projectfilename_with_path, optional string ProjectStateChunk )

but apparently, it reads the RPP file or a ProjectStateChunk which is difficult to read (you say that we should not read it too often).

So I do not see how I can simply and quickly change the global lock settings...

Do you have an idea ?

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

You can't currently, AFAIK. Unless you change the lock-state of a project and reload it.

It's a limitation of the API.

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Since the latest Dev-release of Reaper includes ParameterModulation native, I think, I'm going to reimplement it completely to use the new Api-possibilities.

[binbinhfr]

Very weird, because it seems to be a feature easily available with the LOCK button. Do you think I can ask for a FR to be added to the API ?

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

You can try setting the config-variable projsellock:

https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch...ml#projsellock

But I haven't tested it yet..

Config-Vars can be a good source for checking, if a state might be settable.
If you use Ultraschall-Api, you can use the Displayer for config vars.
Just run it and set the options you want to get/set on and off again. If the console shows you a result, it's a config variable you should check for.

Look for the keywords "Ultraschall" and "Display" to find the scripts for displaying changed config-values.
One is for config files, the other one for config variables.
Use the latter of the two.

[binbinhfr]

Man, you're a genius ! It works !

I just wonder if this method is quick ? Does it works only change memory or does it write to disk everytime ?

The fact is that the ULTRASHALL DISPLAYER detects everychange made to the button/menu.

here is the LUA test script, for those interested :

function msg(s) 
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(tostring(s).."\n") 
end

function tobits(num)
  local s = ""

  while num ~= 0 do
      if num & 1 == 0 then s = s .. "0" else s = s .. "1" end
      num = num >> 1
  end

  return s
end

retval = reaper.SNM_GetIntConfigVar("projsellock", 65535 )

msg(tobits(retval))

-- set all locking options
retval = reaper.SNM_SetIntConfigVar("projsellock", 32768-1 )

-- unset all
-- retval = reaper.SNM_SetIntConfigVar("projsellock", 0 )

retval = reaper.SNM_GetIntConfigVar("projsellock", 65535 )

msg(tobits(retval))

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Since it's a project related setting, it will only be changed in memory until the project is saved.
So it's fast.

[binbinhfr]

It works perfect ! Thanks.
Looking at the returns of ULTRASHALL DISPLAYER, there are a LOT of features that can be accessed this way, that's amazing !

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Yes. Almost all of them(maybe all?) I document in the docs I linked above. So reverse engineering isn't necessary.
You can usually look for the text displayed next to a checkbox to see, if I have documentated it already.

The displayer script is the most important tool to do these docs.

[binbinhfr]

Originally Posted by Meo-Ada Mespotine

I see that the displayer relies on the Reaper_Config_Variables.USDocML file.
But how do you build this file ?
And how/when do you update it ?

EDIT: do you have an idea how I can change also "on the fly" a specified color of the current theme (in my case, I want to adress the locked track alpha value) ?

[binbinhfr]

Will use you API that adds a lot of interesting functionnality.

Installation and test are OK but, for published scripts, what is the best way to verify that API is installed, BEFORE running :

dofile(reaper.GetResourcePath().."/UserPlugins/ultraschall_api.lua")
ultraschall.ApiTest()

and avoid a possible error on the dofile...

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Just follow the usage-instructions on this page:

Thanks, so many documents that I missed this one ;-)

BTW, I see here that you developped an alternative to getchar called GFX_GetChar :
https://github.com/Ultraschall/ultra...eaper/releases

I'll give it a try !

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Updated Ultraschall-API and fixed some errors

please update your ReaPacks

[binbinhfr]

Just a question : is it supposed to work ok on a 32 bits windows 7 ?
It works on my big home PC x64, but gives errors on my old portable Win7 PC that I use for playing live...

here is what he says when I launch my script using API :
C:\Users\h\AppData\Roaming\REAPER/UserPlugins/ultraschall_api/ultraschall_ModulatorLoad3000.lua: size_t size mismatch in precompiled chunk

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Try uninstalling and reinstalling. It should work on all systems.
If not, gimme a sign and I upload a workaround.

[binbinhfr]

same error. But this "size_t " error makes me think about an integer variable size that could change between 32 and 64 bit systems, no ?

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Maybe with the 64bit version of Lua vs the 32bit one. Will fix this later today.

[binbinhfr]

Thanks.
For info. I disabled the Ultraschall callings.
The rest of the script is working fine in 32 bits, with SWS and JS APIs.

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

It should be fixed now..

[binbinhfr]

Yes it works now. Thanks.

Can't find a function to set the first visible track in the TCP... Any idea ?

Set the track to what, exactly?

[binbinhfr]

Originally Posted by Meo-Ada Mespotine

Sorry for my english :-)
I mean set one given track to be the first one on the top of the TCP/arranger view (when you scroll vertically)

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

To be sticky(which is not possible) or to move the track?
Or to scroll the arrangeview?

[binbinhfr]

Originally Posted by Meo-Ada Mespotine

Just to scroll the arrangeview to position this track on the top place

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

These may help you to find out, if the track is already visible:
https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch...IsTrackVisible
https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch...Tracks_Arrange

JS-extension allows you to scroll the arrangeview.
To get the hwnd for the arrangeview, use:
https://mespotin.uber.space/Ultrasch...ND_ArrangeView

This rest about the scrolling you better ask for in the JS-extension-thread(pinned in this subforum), as it's a while, since I did this and forgot it.

Thanks Man. That's a lot of question, uh ? ;-) I'm writing a script for my live needs (I play in duet with a pianist and we need a "flexible" drum track, so I develop my own tool that should perfectly suits our need ; I'll share it later).
