@mdemanett You've mistakenly set "latestVersion", instead of repoVersion. Reverted your commit. Reaction: https://www.facebook.com/groups/vcvrack/permalink/177026399624179/

@AndrewBelt,

What happened there?

Is there something I need to change?

I realised I'd forgotten to add some graphics to the res folder, thought git added them automatically, updated hour or so ago, should all be there now.

[phdsg]

@mdemanett let's pause here before a new try. i recommended to Strum to purge his git history from old zips and stuff (~100mb).

[Strum]

@mdemanett @phdsg

Sorted, should be ready to go.

[phdsg]

had a bit of a struggle with the changed history and syncing/fetching and then broke the repo for a few minutes, but i think it's fixed now.

[mdemanett]

Sorry about that...@phdsg thanks for fixing!

[phdsg]

Updated build.

[Strum]

I'm really sorry guys but I made a cock up with one of the background graphics and had to rescale it.

It's the MedKnob.svg in /res/components, no changes to the code you can just overwrite that file without rebuild the .dll

Sorry again, I'll test more thoroughly in future.

Cheers

@Strum it looks like you have changed the module slugs in this version. Unfortunately, that is not allowed since it breaks backwards compatibility with patches created with previous versions. Please revert the module slug changes and resubmit. Thanks.

[Strum]

Andrew had asked me to make those changes. Given there have been a number of updates in the past that have broken old patches I find it a bit strange developers are now concerned about it. Perhaps you could talk to Andrew about it.

Cheers

@Strum I don't remember asking you to make changes, but plugin and module slugs can't be changed once submitted to the VCV Library. However, you can change plugin or module names. See https://vcvrack.com/manual/Manifest for a reference of these properties.

[Strum]

text of your emails on the subject

Hello, I'm emailing to suggest the following changes to your plugin manifest for your plugin's next update, at your convenience/discretion.

• Change the brand from "Strum's VCV Modules" to "Mental". Your plugin's brand name should match the brand name text on the panel, which is "Mental".
• Remove the "Mental" string from module names. The module name should match the module name on the panel. For example, https://library.vcvrack.com/Mental/MentalMults should be "Mults", and https://library.vcvrack.com/Mental/MentalMixer should be "Master Mixer".
• The screenshot generated from https://library.vcvrack.com/Mental/MentalButtons is nonexistent. Make sure that the module correctly displays in Rack's Module Browser, which it currently doesn't. For help with plugin development, ask questions at https://community.vcvrack.com/c/development/8.

Your plugin URL on the VCV Library: https://library.vcvrack.com/Mental Reference for the plugin.json file: https://vcvrack.com/manual/Manifest Instructions for requesting an update to the VCV Library: https://github.com/VCVRack/library#adding-your-plugin-to-the-vcv-library-for-open-source-plugins

Andrew Belt VCV https://vcvrack.com/

Hi, I noticed the brand of your plugins is "Strum's VCV Modules". I'd prefer that the name "VCV" is left out since it's a trademarked name. But regardless, it probably makes more sense to set the brand to "Mental" and remove the "Mental" string from all module names. That way, instead of the full module name being "Strum's VCV Modules MentalMuxes", it would be "Mental Muxes" which is cleaner and more organized. See https://github.com/VCVRack/library#vcv-library-database for requesting an update to the VCV Library.

Best, Andrew Belt VCV https://vcvrack.com/

[AndrewBelt]

Those suggestions are still valid, but they apply to names, brands, etc. The slugs should remain unchanged to maintain patch compatibility.

[cschol]

Closing until plugin is updated.

[Strum]

Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to this.

Will leave names as they were.

The basic update to get them working in version 2 is done, it's on the 200_update branch.

I'm working on adding the tool tips for another update and should get that done in the next week or 2.

Let me know if you have any further issues.

Cheers

Caching font references crashes VST: https://github.com/Strum/Strums_Mental_VCV_Modules/issues/57

[Strum]

Thanks,

Sorry about that, I hadn't tested it with VST, will fix as soon as I can.

[Strum]

Okay, think I've fixed it, hope it's right this time.

Strum.
