hi has someone created a tutorial dialog that shows all the possibilities that these make possible?
is there a screenshot somewhere? i wanna know more.

i mean, i know there’s these three publicly archived things:

but
for instance this
To see vLib in action, download the tool from github:
https://github.com/renoise/xrnx/tree/master/Tools/com.renoise.vLib.xrnx

is 404

and
There is a packaged (renoise tool) version of xLib, configured to run some unit-tests: https://github.com/renoise/xrnx/tree/master/Tools/com.renoise.xLib.xrnx

this is also 404

so how do i anything?

i mean, i’m seeing these at least:
https://renoise.github.io/libraries/clib/
https://renoise.github.io/libraries/xlib/
https://renoise.github.io/libraries/vlib/

but uhh how to go about it.

this page

talks about public documentation, which is 404 too
http://files.renoise.com/xrnx/vlib-docs/

do i really need to dig up WayBackMachine to be able to get to these?

ok, so continuing with this..

vLib, cLib and xLib are all archived as of August 2024 or something.

there’s unmerged PRs.

i forked all of them and merged all the PRs into them. also looked at the other forks and applied the stuff that was missing.

so here they are.

now the next step is to put the stuff i fixed in Sononymph, into the cLib and hopefully then look at what else is bugging out in them.

EDIT: i added the sononymph tweaks and the missing cFileMonitor.lua to the cLib.

how weird that the abandoned sononymph tool had a better version of cLib..

I was just thinking about that the other day. It would be cool to have a UI with detachable and scalable modules that can be rearranged on screen. The user could easily built their own UI screen view with the favorite modules and save screen space and mouse clicks/keyboard presses. Just an idea. I have zero coding skillz, so no idea if that is doable or if anyone except me would even use that.

@FZ99 before that’s feasible, someone needs to write a LUA GUI editor with drag’n’drop and configurability. would be pretty hot. and then print it as lua scripting and store it.

it’s kinda on my radar on&off but still not sure if i wanna dip in, it sounds like it’d take months to do and even longer to maintain
