Max 8 being 64Bit means the Lanbox DMX controller externals don't work anymore :(

I did email them, but I don't know if they are going to update them and I can't wait so I cooked up a replacement for lcudp-pack and unpack. You will need Adam Siska's UDP objects from the sadam library: 

I haven't tested it extensively, but it seems to work just fine for my purposes, if you are still rocking a Lanbox then maybe they will help you.

EDIT: I figured it out and it looks awesome! I can even do things I was not able to do with lcudp-pack! Thanks Luke for the generosity of sharing this!

Hello Luke and thank you for this life-saver!
I have the same problem and I have downloaded your patch: unfortunately, I do not get where I should feed the long DMX channel list I usually fed into lcudp-pack. In other words, with lcudp-pack, I simply fed a very long list of changing numbers to manage several DMX channels at once. The list was simply organized as [value for the first DMX channel] [ value for the second DMX channel] [value for the third DMX channel], and so on. Could you tell me if I can use such a strategy also with your hack and, in case I can, where exactly should I put it?

Moreover, with lcudp-pack, I used a qmetro object to pace the sendings - do I need that as well?

having problems with my lanbox I just found this hack! 
How can I connect to the Lanbox? I can see incoming messages from the lanbox within the @lcudp/unpack hack@ sub patcher, but sending values doesn't work. 
Any help appreciated (kind of urgent :))

Thing is with the Lanbox, once you set it up you can kind of ignore it so I am finding it hard to remember what I did...

The sender is using 'localhost' so I guess the Lanbox will need to be connected to your machine or you can swap localhost for the actual IP address? Sorry, not much help. 

Have you tried the Lanbox setup software to see if you can communicate with it there? 

thanks for this, it worked for me just fine.  I was lucky that the lanbox still had default ip and receive port (192.168.1.77 4777)
I tried replacing the [sadam.udpsender] with the regular [updsend] , using same host ip and port but that dosen't work.  Dose anybody know why?  I thought it would be nice if it could work with no extra externals, it would be more future proof...


Its been a while, but I seem to remember that standard [udpsend] is really all about OSC and formats it thusly.  [sadam.udpsender]  I think is raw udp 

Hi, i do not succeed in making it working with my LCX lanbox... I'm using max8 installed on a 10.13.6 high Sierra OSX. Does someone uses lcudp-packHACK ?
Thanks.

attached a patch i had which worked with the lan box, no externals.  You can see i things were done there, maybe that helps.  In my case i was lucky because the lanbox was still setup up with default ip and port.

Thank you, it seems perfect, but it didn't worked... it works with LCedit / same ip address 192.168.1.77 but not with max... strange...

i remember the Lanbox needs a password, possible to configure and avoid only with LCedit. 
Here a thing i made in 2019, based on lcudp-packHACK, worked (sorry spag proto in a poly~...)


here without the Lanbox, "sadam.udpSender: Host is down" in Max console
Philippe: you write 192.168.7.77 , not 192.168.1.77 ?

Let's say i have a basic code to change max objects from active/inactive:

-var active_ui = ["myobject1", "myobject2"]

{ var active = arrayfromargs(arguments); for (var objectName in active_ui)

{ var obj = p.getnamed(active_ui[objectName]);

Now imagine, the object take their varname from the abstraction, and we have #1_myobject1, #1_myobjects2 instead. So the code doesn't know the name in the var.

i guess i have to create a new var for the #, but then i need some string operation to get the right reference?

If you are still working on this, I can probably help.  But I don't fully understand what you are trying to do.  So, if you want to pursue this, can you please post examples?  Maybe something like this:
Example 1:  A patcher and  a Javascript that work together, where the Javascript is the same or much the same as what you have shown already.
Example 2:  Multiple  (as you mention abstractions) patchers and a Javascript that don't yet work together but give an idea of what you want to achieve.
(A safe and clear way to provide this information would be to attach two zip files to your post, one for each of Example 1 and Example 2.) 

I think you want to see the "jsarguments" entry here: https://docs.cycling74.com/max8/vignettes/jsglobal

And use #1 in your js object ( e.g.  [js myScript.js #1]  ) inside your abstraction.

I would like to know, if someone from you, have already created a patch to convert an audio input, into a midi signal in a real time. I've seen that it exists for max for live, but I'm not a Ableton user. 

Is there somebody who would like to tell me which object should to use for doing this ?

The amxd~ object lets you host Ableton Max for Live devices, so you don't need to be an Ableton user - I'm assuming that you searched maxforlive.com to find this, of course. You can load the device and open it to see what's inside without being a Live owner.

. The JSONs come in in GeoJSON format, with "type", "metadata," and "features" as keys in the top-level hierarchy that comes in. The salient info I need is in the "features" dictionary, which itself seems to be an array of dictionaries.

When I try to use [dict.unpack] at "features" I only get the list of the properties of the first item in [dict.view]./[dict.print]. How do I get ALL of the features objects in this same level of the hierarchy? The [dict] does show there are a number of dictionaries equal to the number in the array when I sent "get features" to the dict that all the data is stored in.

Do I need to like...iterate through the numbers in the array of features - e.g. "getfeatures[1], getfeatures[2]..." for every since "features" object in the full JSON object? There's gotta be a better way.

Hi - Did you ever get this one solved? I have the same issue - except with air quality data rather than earthquakes!

Sorry if I'm late to the party, but I've had a similar issue and solved using "unpack dict dict" to split apart each "feature". One can then work on each "feature" separately.

I'm still working on how to get this to loop nicely but I hope this helps

jit.phys.barslide seems the solution but from the help I don't get a clue to set it up to achieve what I want.

Anyone have any good ideas on how to constrain a jit.phys.body to only two dimensions? For instance, totally ignore the Z axis in terms of position - I'd rather not just have to set Z pos to 0 every frame manually, but that's honestly the only way I've managed to think of.

try remove_plane $1 parameter to jit.phys.world :)


After all those years...
But what if I only want to remove a plane from one specific jet.phys.body?

you can do this with jit.phys.6dof constraint. set the lower and upper limit_lin attributes of the free axes to -1 and 1, and then for the locked axis set both to 0. do the reverse for the angular limits.

Hello! I'm trying to recreate the patch in this video: https://youtu.be/Cc1-Rq0nSVo

Around 1:20 in the vid, he creates several parameters in the gen~ object using "param" Later (~2:00) he specifies inputs for the parameters from outside gen by simply using their names. When I try to do this it won't allow me to create objects with the parameter names (they just turn orange and "No such object" error appears). Any ideas what I'm missing here?

}


Klaus, thank you so much for this code! I noticed that, while it works, it doesn't output quite the same information that the original getsize message generates. I made some modifications so that you now get the exact same dimensions that you'd get from thispatcher

var w; 
function get() 
{ 
w=this.patcher.wind; 
outlet(0,w.location[0],w.location[1], w.location[2], w.location[3]); 
}

ok, upon further testing, it looks like it's reporting the window size of the parent patch, not the actual bpatcher file itself

What about this?

function bang() {
outlet(0, this.patcher.box.rect);}

thispatcher in bpatcher does not report window size any more in max7
