Can't get old style multiphase to work

astromech · November 9, 2023, 11:48pm

I set up two colours to change between, and added the multphase define, but I cannot get the PWR+twist to do anything but turn off my blade. I feel like I missed something. Here’s the code I used:

The style tells you how to do it

If you mean the “live” preset change method, that is controlled via define in my prop.

#define FETT263_MULTI_PHASE

However, this define will not allow Special Abilities so you’ll lose access to many of the new OS7 features. The old multi-phase has been replaced by Alt Fonts. We used to have to change presets for different sounds, that is no longer the case with Alt Fonts, so the need for this define was significantly reduced as Alt Font and Special Abilities can do this better and allows more additional features.

Info on defines available here:

astromech · November 10, 2023, 12:36am

OK, so what if i just want one font, but to toggle two colours? Do I still need an alt font folder?

Fett263 · November 10, 2023, 12:50am

Depends what you want, color only the style you posted is right but refer to the controls needed.

If you want to use Special Abilities control then you need alt font set up on at least one sound, you could just do the boot.wav or font.wav and it would count.

astromech · November 10, 2023, 10:26am

Yeah, I was trying to use the controls in your prop as per your website, but “hold PWR + twist” only turned the blade off (I have twist to activate). I had the define mentioned, but also had the special abilities one as well. Would that cause a conflict?

Now, I’ve tried special abilities multi phase and I keep getting ‘error in font directory’. I have the same folders/files as per the Survivor Party Mode font (in folder alt000). Only difference is I have all the file groups in their own sub folders, like the hum etc. Would that cause issues?

Fett263 · November 10, 2023, 11:40am

The FETT263_MULTI_PHASE define and FETT263_SPECIAL_ABILITIES define can’t be used together.

For alt font all altNNN folders need to have same sounds and number of sounds or you’ll get an ‘Error in Font Directory’.

The video at the top of the library goes through it.

You can remove DISABLE_DIAGNOSTIC_COMMANDS define, upload, then go into Tools >Serial Monitor and type ‘effects’ and it will tell you what is causing the error message.

astromech · November 10, 2023, 3:59pm

Just to confirm, the “twist + PWR/AUX” for old multiphase is the same twist as for igniting/retracting?

Fett263 · November 10, 2023, 4:09pm

No, see the define and controls for the Prop. “Multi-Phase” Control uses FETT263_MULTI_PHASE define to give you a control to change presets while ON. This is old method.

“Multi-Phase” styles in OS7 library have multiple ways to trigger and run in a single preset so the controls are listed in the information section of the style code. To use Multi-Phase styles just refer to the control to change the phase based on the option you selected.

astromech · November 10, 2023, 4:19pm

Thank you. Yeah, I get that. I’ve implemented multiphase with special abilities and with swing change using the Kyberphonic party mode. It’s just that I can’t work out why I’m getting this ‘error in font directory’ with the font and alt font folders this this specific bladestyle, so I thought if I can implement the old way, then it would be simpler.

This is what I get with the effects command. For reference, the folder that is causing issues is called ‘balance’, with a subfolder ‘alt000’ inside, containing all the swing folders, clsh folder, in/out folders, hum.wav, :

Does it make a difference if the filenames have a leading zero? ie in01.wav etc?

Fett263 · November 10, 2023, 4:40pm

You have to run ‘effects’ in the preset giving you trouble. It will tell you which file(s) are causing error. I don’t see any errors in the above.

So you need to fix all of FILES ARE MISSING.

astromech · November 10, 2023, 5:18pm

what does that mean though? I have the files that came with the KSith font. Should there be more than four swingl files, for example?

astromech · November 10, 2023, 5:35pm

Right, I have it down to now only being a single issue. The problem bounces between either

Found boot files: 1-1 SOME FILES ARE MISSING! 1 != 2 in balance

Or

Found font files: 1-1 SOME FILES ARE MISSING! 1 != 2 in balance

But I don’t know why? I tried just having one or the other in the alt folder when this happens.

astromech · November 10, 2023, 5:50pm

UPDATE:

Apparently I need alt000 and alt001 folders. now, adding a font1.wav to each of those throws up the same error, but with a higher number.

17:45:27.214 -> Found font files: 1-1 SOME FILES ARE MISSING! 2 != 3 in balance

I have the font1.wav file in:

/balance/
/balance/alt000/
/balance/alt001/

astromech · November 10, 2023, 5:54pm

UPDATE:

Tried removing the font1.wav from root. I finally figured out you need to just have the files in the alt font. I presumed it would work by looking for the first in the sequence in the root, then the alt font folders for other phases.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Fett263 · November 10, 2023, 7:25pm

Glad to hear, just for future reference I specifically cover altNNN set up in the video at the top of the library, I highly recommend watching those videos as they explain a lot about the new features and how to set up

astromech · November 10, 2023, 8:52pm

Yeah man. I did go through them when I first got party mode working but it’s a lot to take in!

Fett263 · November 10, 2023, 10:01pm

Ok, I tried to simplify as much as possible and went through setting up altNNN in detail.

Essentially you just need to move any sounds you want to change with alt into the altNNN folders and make sure that you have copies in each alt folder with 1-to-1 match of filenames.
