I'm script illiterate and don't quite feel like spending the rest of the week studying how to write one from beginning to end.
Can someone give me a leg up on writing a script that will tell Usine to save the current patch on the current track on the current line without any prompt?
(just like selecting File > Save Patch from the patch menu would do)
A bonus would be a pin that sends a button value of 1 when the operation was complete, but this is not so important.

SET_TARGET_PATCH
SENDER_PATCH
SAVE_PATCH
D:UsineLoad1VSTITrack-
How can I make this work?
edit:
nevermind. I found the answer by connecting a text module to the lines msg output on the Usine Msg module.
For the curious, here's an example of a complete string to send the module to have the message properly formatted.
"SET_TARGET_PATCH SENDER_PATCH","SAVE_PATCH D:UsineSavestest2testpatchsave.pat"
A bit to my annoyance, the module does not wait for the send msg button to be pushed, rather it sends the message any time the incoming text string changes, but I this is easy snough to work around with a Pass Event Flow module and a button to trigger save.
Also, when using the Current Patch Name module to generate the name, a second Concat String module is needed to add .pat" to the end of the string or else the patch is saved without any file extension and the name may be missing the last character.
(not sure the Stop is actually necessary, just avoiding telling the module to do the same thing twice...)

ha, you posted again while I was typing
But yes, Strings are an option... (and, oh wait! Current patch name! That might just do it!Statistics: Posted by gurulogic — 01 Mar 2010, 00:30

Do you have different name for the same base patch?

SET_TARGET_PATCH SENDER_PATCH
PROMPT_FOR_SAVE
saves the patch after confirming, and
SET_TARGET_PATCH SENDER_PATCH
SAVE_PATCH 'path and file name here'
saves the patch without confirmation but I would like to not have to enter the path and filename for the current patch as I use many different copies of the same base patch.
If I use:
SET_TARGET_PATCH SENDER_PATCH
SAVE_PATCH
the patch saves to somewhere...? but with a blank name...

This is template...

I did a search in the wiki and came up with nothing other than the description of templates but not how to use?
I know I am going to feel pretty silly when you have to point to what's right in front of me...

Template are text file you add in the templates folder of Usine and you access with a right click
Ethnix is the boss for this , check the "Templates by ethnix73" folder and read/ use for example the
" midiOut05-PianoRoll+transformer.txt"

I was sort of hoping you could do an action and then cut and paste from the console messages to tell Usine to repeat the action, but I guess there's no room for lazy here...
"It corresponds perhaps moreto your needs than the "Send usine message" module..."
but isn't the "Send usine message" module how you send these types of messages. I've tried some stuff from the templates and this seems to be the way..?
Truth is, I don't even know specificly what I am hoping to accomplish by creating these types of "scripts", I am just exploring all the parts of Usine that I don't understand yet so I can be as informed as possible in the best ways to accomplish s tasks...

With templates, you can create automatically more than one modules linked as you desire. You can also delete module, create new ones, link them to other modules...

I guess I'll study the Internal messages language some more and try and see what is actually possible...

With IML, to create a fader you could have the message below:
SET_TARGET_PATCH SENDER_PATCH
CREATE_MODULE fader 3 100 100
In this message, "fader" is the name that will be given to the module. "3" gives the module id...The id for the module "fader vertical" is 172.
Have a look at the IML help in the wiki:
http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php ... l_messages
P.S: Templates use the IML

CREATE_MODULE my_fader 3 200 300
my_fader is the name you want
3 is the number of the fader module
200 300 the place in pixels..

For example, when dropping a fader on a patch the console shows:
SET_VAR patch SENDER_PATCH=D:UsineSavestestsendmessagetest.pat
SET_VAR integer MOUSE_X=712
SET_VAR integer MOUSE_Y=362
SET_VAR integer CONTROL_PRESSED=0
SET_VAR integer SHIFT_PRESSED=0
SET_VAR integer ALT_PRESSED=0
SET_VAR integer ON_WIRE=0
SET_VAR integer SRC_TERM_IN_OUT=0
SET_VAR String DROP_FILENAME=C:Program Files (x86)((Audio))Usine 5FilesModulesInterface Designa - Fader Horizontal.plg
SET_VAR String DROP_SHORT_FILENAME=a - Fader Horizontal
Create module : TpgFader 3
so that would make me think that I should be able to send a message that says:
SET_TARGET_PATCH SENDER_PATCH
SET_VAR patch SENDER_PATCH=D:UsineSavestestsendmessagetest.pat
SET_VAR integer MOUSE_X=712
SET_VAR integer MOUSE_Y=362
SET_VAR integer CONTROL_PRESSED=0
SET_VAR integer SHIFT_PRESSED=0
SET_VAR integer ALT_PRESSED=0
SET_VAR integer ON_WIRE=0
SET_VAR integer SRC_TERM_IN_OUT=0
SET_VAR String DROP_FILENAME=C:Program Files (x86)((Audio))Usine 5FilesModulesInterface Designa - Fader Horizontal.plg
SET_VAR String DROP_SHORT_FILENAME=a - Fader Horizontal
Create module : TpgFader 3
and have a fader created in my patch? It doesn't work though. Am I on the right path or are Usine messages not intended for this type of use?
