ReaSpaghetti Visual Scripter Alpha - Ages 4 to 99

Sexan · 04-12-2023, 11:20 AM

So you wanna make a script? Not so pro in lua or even coding? You are tempted to ask GPT to make something for you?

Well I was very bored and I made this for you. Very basic do something with tracks:

What can it do? Pretty much anything you can do with normal scripting and MOAARR...

Adding nodes Right click and start typing:

Functions (with arguments and returns)

Promoting pins to variables for easier connecting:

Wireless nodes to keep things tidy:

Error catching mechanism for preventing crashing:

Saving Loading your legos (you need to add .lego) at saving :

Defer:

Lua standard library:

Since I'm working in Unreal Engine most of the functionality/behavior is from there so UE users (if any) should feel comfortable

Anyway to see the full potential of it I made something....
Presenting the SCHWARMINATOR:
Utilising defered behavior and imgui inside imgui, tables, complex checks, functions, everything else

IMAGES USED ARE CREDITED TO THEIR AUTHORS!!
Background : https://www.tumblr.com/anasabdin
Cute Squid sprite: https://princeofbugs.wordpress.com/2...ss-discipline/

Schwarminator is not yet available but will be soon.

Anyway many many thanks to cfillion for holding my hand, my special supporters, xraym for excelent API site which is used for creating/parsing API, and everyone involved

Available on my reapack

There is a lot of things to do UI wise yet and find some bugs. Its too much for me alone to track them all so lets get things 1 by 1.

Documentation is available in scripts folder "Docs"

Am I tripping? I mean, is this for real?

Hipox · 04-12-2023, 12:10 PM

🤯

Vagelis · 04-12-2023, 12:15 PM

While I've installed it from Reapack and I see it in the list, I can't find it in the actions for some reason.
Except that this concept is really insane because it's something like MAX now for Reaper, I'm so curious and excited to see where this goes!

The crazy thing is that I've created a FR similar to this script some years ago.
This is really sick.

No problem and thanks, I'm still kind of shocked, looking forward to try

EDIT: Schwarminator is hilarious

Sexan · 04-12-2023, 12:41 PM

Here is a little "scary" complex example with envelopes across tracks. It will only change/increment values if point value is bellow 500

But anyway make this as function and dont think about it, just add proper arguments and returns and it will become dynamic and modifiable as you wish.

Function Templates/Library is on to-do list, so there will be lots of functions out of the box to do various things to tracks/envelopes etc

looking forward, the GUI looks amazing and it's a big reason for me to make me start learning more about scripting with this. At the meantime I will just try to get more to it.
Are you maybe planning or do you think would it be possible to make jsfxs with this script in the future?
Also some included simple examples would be great to have as a starting point.

All the best

Will not do JSFX but its possible. Will create few examples and include them with reapack soon

Great, thanks!

Sibben · 04-12-2023, 03:10 PM

Holy hell. That’s like the singularity of scripting. Thanks!

dahya · 04-12-2023, 03:32 PM

Woah !!!!!!!!! This looks absolutely amazing !! This is going to be so helpful to a lot of people !! You've done the Reaper community and DAW very proud with this script, thanks for providing and sharing !!

daniellumertz · 04-12-2023, 04:37 PM

Congrats on all your hard work sexan! This is a really passionate and good script, glad to see all your progress !

anddd the 2023 script award goes to ....

acendan · 04-12-2023, 05:22 PM

I'm at a loss for words. What on earth. This forum post is the best technical sound design demo reel ever made.

theFRXST · 04-12-2023, 09:15 PM

amazing

inthevoid · 04-13-2023, 12:17 AM

Wow. Incredible work!! Thank you Sexan

nikolalkc · 04-13-2023, 01:54 AM

You were very bored? And you did this?
I cannot believe what I'm seeing.
This is incredible!!!

strachupl · 04-13-2023, 01:56 AM

It have not much use for me I guess, but it looks amazing. I also guess that wiring window could function like this or a new fx container/patcher thing which is rewuested by users to look and function so.
It looks nice and easy to play with indeed.

Kabraxis · 04-13-2023, 03:11 AM

Ahh, so you have that cute visual flow on your DAW? Look what Reaper has now...

Kabraxis · 04-13-2023, 03:13 AM

I'm just wondering what if ImGUI extension was introduced earlier, or even better natively added by Reaper devs few years ago.

Awesome work!

UknownSource · 04-13-2023, 03:41 AM

A m a z i n g !!!

I love your style so much!!!

exactly what I was thinking

PS - I love spaghetti!

smandrap · 04-13-2023, 04:00 AM

This is unREAl Engine. I can't believe it's happening

Neuro... No Neuro · 04-13-2023, 04:41 AM

Looks wonderful, and is now something that runs IN Reaper. It does look very much like it could be a PureData/MaxMSP sort of tool. Way beyond my understanding, but looks much easier to understand.

cool · 04-13-2023, 05:35 AM

I saw similar software for Arduino (ArduBlock). This is cool and greatly reduces the barrier to entry into scripting.

UknownSource · 04-13-2023, 05:40 AM

it looks so sexy with all the colors.
I want to route fx just like this ^_^

Spaghetti Candy.

mschnell · 04-13-2023, 06:00 AM

Amazingly funny stuff

-Michael

Sexan · 04-13-2023, 06:08 AM

Changed the name to ReaSpaghetti (so lego ninjas wont be mad)

SCHWARMINATOR needs fix for OSX atm it will crash (will fix soon)

Code:

Includes:
--  Script Rename
--  Added Examples
--  Added SCHWARMINATOR - WINDOWS ONLY
--  Filemanager automatically Appends extension
--  Fixed Crashes with MathRandom Nodes
--  Only Math nodes can mix/match different pins (INTEGER/FLOAT),fixed issue with APi pins could connect mismatching pins

WARNING for users that installed previous version:
Uninstall the old one first before syncing reapack because I did few bad stuff and maybe some error will appear

Some of examples:

Kabraxis · 04-13-2023, 06:21 AM

You just made me want sphagetti, and also this.

kytdkut · 04-13-2023, 06:53 AM

holy shit

Sexan · 04-13-2023, 07:01 AM

One last change breaking update released (last one .... since I'm not a smart person)

Code:

-- @changelog
--  Added Native OS Slash Separator
--  Fixed Schwarminator on osx (path issue)
--  Renamed folder to ReaSpaghetti
--  Renamed extension from .lego to .reanodes

Uninstall previous version (reapack will do that automatically)

ferropop · 04-13-2023, 07:40 AM

Yeah can't believe what I'm seeing lol.

Ignacio Navarro · 04-13-2023, 08:14 AM

This is like the reason why I'm gonna get into scripting now. It's like practicing audio programming and blueprints at once lol. Thanks for this!

There are things that are on to-do:
1. Export as action
2. Export as native lua script
3. Template Library - various functions that will do things out of the box (something like examples but all enclosed in the single function)
4. Undo system (will be little hard)
5. Further improvement to UI and workflow

etc

Also its alpha so bugs/crashes are kinda expected.
Nodes that will crash the script are Imgui nodes since they have some structure which you need to follow like Begin-end. I cant detect that to prevent crash like my mechanism for API error catching (stop before executing API node if arguments are missing or invalid)

EDIT: There will be more examples added while I regularly push new updates
