[@Urs or...] can it be done?

[unangular]

I am trying to change voices, number [selections] "entries" to images. In arp control section in zebra [Avoc]. I tried same method like its in step,length,gate and transpose... but no luck so far. Is it plug [dll-vsti] script dependent, or i am missing something? I Added folder with images, and in script, i added graphic names and properties [like for gate/step...]. Changed graphic name for avoc 1-16 display control type...

Could you try using the name for the folder: arp_voices (underscore)

And for the filenames: arp-voices... (using a dash)

And inside the 'Display' block use arp_voices (underscore)?

If this doesn't work I'll try to explain myself but I suspect it might.

what skin is that btw? looks nice

Unangular, can you send it to me (Scripts and Images folder)? - I'll happily check it out.

You btw. do not need to add the extra lines about graphics to the file. The gui editor still writes these when I save the file, but when loading only "shapes" are being extracted. Directories with Png files are being scanned to create the according objects.

Cheers,

@Urs @ xh3rv :

Thanks for tips! Big one!
It was capital letter problem [folder name].
Silly me!

I'm stuck.
Here's another one...
I found almost all pane properties for fx elements
[eq-2323/2324, mix-2123/2133, shaper-1797/2106,
comp-2262/2280, vcf-2778/2799, sideband-3072],
except for delay, reverb and modfx?
Also, panes for global[left]-fx[right] back are 1814-Effects Pane.
What about middle [sends, output, return, fx grid...]section?

I'm asking this because i can't figure it out how to add graphic value
to those elements without pane properties. Am i missing something [probably]?
If i'm not; is there any workaround for "that issue"?

The stuff on the effects grid / down the middle is parented directly by the bottom frame, rather than another pane that is in turn parented by the bottom frame (this is the case with the 'master pane' and the effects pane, iirc).

Similar situation with ModFX, Delays, Reverb I think - they're parented to the effects pane, while other effects are parented to a pane that's parented to the effects pane.

The visibility of elements here is broken down by layer masks - anything that should appear with the effects grid, for example, should be on layerMask='1'. So to add graphic elements you'll want to:

** Find the spot in the file that starts listing the elements you're interested in, (text searches on relatively unique text like 'ModFX' usually helps, if you haven't been doing this)
** See if you can tack the graphic onto any existing object
** If not, you'll have to add a new object; make sure it's parent and layerMask tags are similar to one of the elements you're interested in

Hope this makes sense!
