Hi,

I need to compile to Windows Store from Unity (for Hololens). Would that work? Or only with Windows standalone?

 

Hi, I didn't check compilation for Hololens. But I can send you the version for check in personal messages.

 

Hi ExT_rus,

Many thanks for the trial versions. Things work very nicely in the editor on Unity on Windows 10 but when I try to compile for the Windows Store I get the following error messages. Any hints on how to tackle these? Most of them are namespace warnings:

Assets\extOSC\Examples\10) Serialization (Beta)\Scripts\SerializationExample.cs(6,14): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Serialization' does not exist in the namespace 'extOSC' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Assets\extOSC\Examples\3) Events\Scripts\EventsExample.cs(14,16): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'OSCTransmitter' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets\extOSC\Examples\6) Mapping\Scripts\MappingExample.cs(14,16): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'OSCTransmitter' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets\extOSC\Examples\4) Informers\Scripts\InformersExample.cs(125,35): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'OSCMessage' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

etc. etc.

 

This error probably appears because Windows Store platform is not selected in extOSC.dll, which you can find in Assets/extOSC/Plugins/Standalone/extOSC.dll (if you are using version with compiled code)

I already tested compatibility of my asset with Windows Store and, unfortunately, at this moment my asset can't meet your requirments. In the future, I will probably add Hololens support as it’s becoming popular trend among developers.

 

Hi ExT-rus,

Many thanks for your quick reply. Would be great if you could add support. You would also be the first one since neither OSCSimpl nor UniOSC offer Windows Store support.

 

Ready to buy your product as soon as you add Hololens support!

 

Version with Windows Store support in Pending Review. (extOSC - Open Sound Control)

 

extOSC - Open Sound Control Ver. 1.2 is Avaible:

Release Notes:
- Added Windows Store Support (Beta).
- Added interface IOSCReceiverComponent.
- Added interface IOSCTransmitterComponent.
- Added class OSCPingClient and OSCPingServer.
- Added class OSCComponent. (Contains functionality of both classes: OSCReceiverComponent and OSCTransmitterComponent)
- OSCTransmitterComponent.Address changed to OSCTransmitterComponent.TransmitterAddress.
- OSCReceiverComponent.Address changed to OSCReceiverComponent.ReceiverAddress.
- Fixed some small things.

Hi,

I bought the compiled version a few weeks ago. I've just discovered that it has been deprecated, which I guess lets me out of any update and support. Seems that there's no option to upgrade to the full version.

I think extOSC is a great asset and, with several similar assets appearing in the store during the last few months, I was really happy with the decision made buying extOSC. Is there any plan to continue the compiled version or any chance to upgrade to the full version?

Thanks,
Javier

 

Hello, it is my mistake. I remove the compiled version because of its unpopularity. And I’m ready to give you a free full version key in private conversation.

 

Dear ExT_rus, thanks for creating this great asset, I purchased it in hope that it will be compatible with Microsoft HoloLens, but unfortunately I cannot deploy my app to HoloLens from VisualStudio when I use your asset. My project works without it. Is there a quick way or chance to fix it?

 

Hello, сan you send me error log?

Thanks for a logs. What Unity version you use?

 

I'm using 5.6.0f3

 

Ok, I understood from where an error, but I can’t repeat it. As I understood: the error is that there are problems between as I make a code, and System.Reflection.TypeExtensions.

Try to use older version of Unity.

 

this is the error log in visual studio when i try to build the app for the HoloLens:

Thanks, i start a conversation with you.

 

Great package.
Are there plans to support Array and Midi?

 

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I have plans for MIDI and Array. But how soon - I do not know.

 

Hallo !

Great plugin, scripting is clean and easy!
Howcome you can't define a custom port for your receiver ? Even though I do

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     private OSCReceiver receiever;
3.     public string address = "/trig";
4.     public int port;
5.  
6.     void Start ()
7.     {
8.         receiever = gameObject.AddComponent<OSCReceiver> ();
9.         receiever.LocalPort = port;
10.         receiever.Bind (address, SpawnPlayer);
11.     }
12.  

When the receiver is created, it defaults to 7001.

Any way to have a custom port without changing it at runtime ? Thanks !

 

Hello!

Thanks for finding this error. It will be fixed in the next update.

At the moment, you can fix this error localy by adding a line of code in setter in LocalPort property in the file: extOSC/Scripts/OSCReceiver.cs:

Code (CSharp):

1. localPort = value;

Like this:



Thanks for the feedback.

I managed to get this to talk to Hololens, i'm using port 9001 to send and most importantly I turned on internet client in player settings/publishing settings.
Works a treat

 

Hm, my project shall activate these parameters automatically. I'l try to fix this in next update.

Thanks for the feedback!

 

I read somewhere that the port range had to be between 9000 and 9100. Not sure if that is true, i haven't checked it since i got it working, but maybe that could be the "default" port for you too?

 

Hi, I want to assign an incoming float message to a variable, how should i do that? So far i have only been able to trigger actions using incoming events but i'd like to try controlling individual parameters and my plan was to assign individual OSC messages to a float variable which i can then assign to the objects parameters.
Thanks

 

Hello, in this version, you can assign values only to methods or properties (public float Value {get; set;}) without code. In future versions will be possible to apply specific message values to any types of class variables (properties and fields).

hi, ExT_rus
Would extOSC support unity 2017.2.0b9 and Universal Windows Platform?

 

Technically, extOSC must support 2017.2.0b9 and UWP. But in the nearest future I have only macOS computer and I cannot check as UWP works at this version.
And as soon as I will have a normal PC, I will check support of UWP on 2017.2.0b9.

 

extOSC - Open Sound Control Ver. 1.6 is Avaible:
- Added OSCReceiverEvent.ReceiverType property.
- Fixed UWP support in OSCUtilities.
- Fixed OSCConsole production code.
- Updated OSCReceiverReflection editor.

Asset Store: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/72005 - FREE

 

Okay, i checked support of UWP on 2017.2.0b9, and make new update (v1.6).

You can use v1.5, but you need make some fixes in code:
1. File: Scripts/Core/Console/OSCConsole.cs:


2. File: Scripts/Core/Reflection/OSCReflection.cs:


3. File: Scripts/Core/OSCUtilities.cs:
Remove three methods: «StructToByte», «ByteToStruct», «ByteToStruct<T>».

Or wait new version (v1.6).

 

Hi,

can I use the MIDI output to control my DAW (e.g. via LoopBe1)?

Thanks and regards,
Daniel

 

Hello,
My asset only supports the transfer of MIDI structures (byte Channel, byte Status, byte Data1, byte Data2) through the OSC, to fully work with MIDI you need to have some other asset working with MIDI.

 

extOSC - Open Sound Control Ver. 1.7 is Avaible:
- Added new mapping types (Int, FloatToBool, IntToBool, BoolToFloat, BoolToInt).
- Added two new examples (Marshalling and Match Pattern).
- Fixed some bugs in OSCReflection.GetMembersByType method.
- Updated OSCReceiverBackend and OSCTransmitterBackend instance creation.
- Updated OSCWindow and OSCPanel.

Im using this on mac, windows, and hololens with great affect. thanks!

Im curious about your multicast handling... how do i choose which interface to send on?

i've built into a mac app that sends multicast over wifi. i want it over my ethernet. when i start the app with wifi off, i don't see it on the ethernet either??

 

Hello,
Now there is no such function in extOSC. Since I did not know how much it would be relevant. In future versions I will definitely make this functionality.
Thanks for the feedback.

 

Hi, thanks for this package, its really great! Quick question- is there an easy way to turn the collider as trigger of game object in unity an OSC message event? Like if I have a character collide with a trigger object it sends a trigger message via OSC?

 

Oh and how would I transmit the transform values of a game object?

 

Hello,
There are no simple solutions for collide events, you will have resort to writing code, for example:

Code (CSharp):

1. protected void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
2. {
3.     // Create message
4.     var message = new OSCMessage(transmitterAddress);
5.     message.AddValue(OSCValue.String("Hello, world!"));
6.  
7.     // Send message
8.     transmitter.Send(message);
9. }

Full code: https://gist.github.com/Iam1337/96913283f94a8dc381265a520396749e

You can use three components:

• 2x Vector3 Informer (OSCTransmitterInformerVector3) for position and lossyScale (readony)

Spoiler: Images

• 1x Quaternion Informer (OSCTransmitterInformerQuaternion) for rotation

Spoiler: Images

 

extOSC - Open Sound Control Ver. 1.8 is Avaible:
- Added Close On Pause parameter in OSCTransmitter and OSCReceiver.
- Fixed some Examples.

extOSC - Open Sound Control Ver. 1.8.1 is Avaible:
- Fixed OSCReceiver.LocalPort, OSCTransmitter.RemoteHost and OSCTransmitter.RemotePort setter bug.

Hello there!

First, please forgive me if my question sounds silly.
I am sadly not expert in Unity and new to Hololens dev.
I've been trying to implement osc for the hololens (by looking at OSC for Unity example projects such as this one, this one, or this one) which I managed to make them work on PC but unfortunately not on hololens.

I'm interested in trying this Asset as it seems to supports UWP, so I'd like to check with those who've tried if there's any limitation to what it can do.

Does extOSC enables us to control game parameters (e.g. Light Intensity, Video Playback, Animator Controllers..) in a Unity game playing on the Hololens, using OSC messages sent from a computer on the same network (i.e TouchDesigner, Resolume, MaxMSP...)? And do you encounter any lag?

Thank you so much for your help!

 

Hello

extOSC on Hololens has no limitations, excluding the functionality of the OSCSerialization class (this is an additional tool that simplifies work with a large amount of data). But, I’m not sure how well it works on Hololens, without changing the settings in «Player Settings». (Sometimes it does not set the capability - InternetClientServer, but i’m work on it)

You can write me an e-mail (you can find it on my publisher page), and there we will decide how I can give you with an asset for the test.

In extOSC, there are no ready-made components to work specifically with light and animation, but there are many other components that facilitate development, for example, components that allow you to fill certain component fields with the received data. In addition, extOSC is made in such a way that it will be easy enough to process received messages or write your own components.

 

Hi,

I'm getting some warnings and these errors when trying to build for Hololens?

Assets\extOSC\Scripts\OSCUtilities.cs(502,21): error CS0103: The name 'firstType' does not exist in the current context
Assets\extOSC\Scripts\OSCUtilities.cs(502,58): error CS0103: The name 'secondType' does not exist in the current context

Assets\extOSC\Scripts\OSCUtilities.cs(502,86): error CS0103: The name 'secondType' does not exist in the current context​

I'm using
Unity 2017.2.1f1
UWP SDK 10.0.16299.0
HoloToolkit 2017.2.11

 

Thanks, you can fix this just replace this code in OSCUtilities.cs:

Code (CSharp):

1. return (firstType.GetTypeInfo().IsSubclassOf(secondType) || firstType == secondType);

To:

Code (CSharp):

1. return (subType.GetTypeInfo().IsSubclassOf(baseType) || subType == baseType);

I will make an update as soon as possible.
