Release: Spooky Send/Receive, v0.2
Release Type:
Production
Version:
0.2
Release Notes
Warning: These patches are now part of DataTools. Use that plugin instead.
This release of our Spooky Send/Receive Patch fixes a couple bugs and adds some additional control to the sender. On the sender, there's now an option to disable the patch's auto-cleaning behaviour. Usually you'll want this to be enabled to prevent memory leaks, but in special cases (in iterators, or when using it as a data-store), you don't want cleaning to take place. Occasionally, compositions that used this patch would checkerboard on startup. This has been fixed. Additionally, a lot of stale code (leftovers from Tiger-era development) was removed, making the patch smaller, faster, and more reliable. It should still work in Tiger.

/// durr. excuse this, brain though structure patch, fingers typed spooky patch.
...not sure if this is because of the structure or not.
[admin edit: fixed '<'s]
any idea why this wouldn't work between compositions in vdmx? would be super useful if it did:).
perfectly for me ...(VDMX5_b7.0.8)
why does this doesn't work for VDMX and quartzcomposer ? can you explain me? CWRiGHT please help
going to guess user error? I honestly have no idea -- the parent poster apparently hasn't had any problems.
Without more information (compositions, usage, etc), I can't help much. I don't know how to use VDMX, so I don't test in it very much.
sorry no error at all. aim for the skies....
i would like to send spooky signal from quartz copmposer into VDMX comp. the comps:
Spooky doesn't send values between applications (QuartzComposer is one application, VDMX is another -- Spooky cannot currently communicate between the two).
Use OSC or MIDI to communicate between different apps.
the problem is quite simple i guess. i want to pass a 2d structure via osc wich i cant. so i was using the great spooky patch inside qc. now i need it to comunicate with vdmx. so when i fix the 2d struc problem i will be ok. thanks c.
my problem:

thanks alot for the great work!!
how did you make it work. i can´t.
brilliant, Max style send/receive! any plans to open the source up for this, wonder how it was implemented - static table of channel names to ports?
It's actually embarrassingly simple: we just use a global NSDictionary, with channels as keys. There's some book keeping, but nothing too interesting.
Such a relief to be able to easily pass things around patches...thank you very much for posting this!
works fine for me with qc 4 / 10.6!
This can even send data out of consumer macros! Great! Thanks!

When you work with it, try to monitor for leaks. You can just keep a Finder window open and see if your drive is getting smaller. Remember that you're doing stuff that goes against how QC normally works, so you have to really vet it. I say this because I have some stuff that works fine, but then similar setups that when combined with particular patches, cause huge memory leaks.
There is an iDVD patch that used to be/still is inside of the iMovie app, that can be placed in the Graphics folder as a patch; that one also has a very stable image broadcaster.
