Fixed, nice catch. Feel free to shoot me a message on Steam if you want anything else fixed/added.

The process of downloading and installing addons to a dedicated server is very different and more involved than installing to a listen server.

you managed to be rude and wrong twice in one post

[Fetret]

Been working on my LED strip visualiser almost non stop for the past week, apart from uni commitments.

Today I managed to get be able to set the frequency domain to be analysed dynamically. This lets me choose the part of the spectrum where there is activity (or activity over a certain threshold) which will be visualised. In the end this reduces the wasted space and makes the visualiser work better for all kinds of songs without having to mess with manually setting the frequency interval to be visualised. And since this is done on the fly the program can respond to changes in the song and still give a nice visual spectacle.

I'll post better shot videos of the strip itself soon, it is just shooting the damn things is so much hassle.

Here is the functionality in action. The green area represents the frequency domain that is going to be visualised while the blue lines are the different segments that will be visualised (the strip in these examples have 6 segments that correspond to frequency intervals). Sorry there is no sound, syncing them up is a terrible hassle.

I'm not being rude, just answering a question.
And the addon I'm modding is lacking a few features, so I'm working on adding them.

I mainly work on listen servers, so if I'm wrong about the dedicated ones, I do apologize.

you are being rude, all he said is you're posting in the wrong forum and you just wrongfully corrected him. Claiming to know something and not being sure about something are completely different things, so don't say something with assurance if you're not certain.
Once again, your issues are better posted in the part of the forum relevant to your issues.

A long while back I seem to remember someone here was working on an FMod/LibBass alternative completely in C#, anyone know what happened to that?

Hold on guys. Let's just take a breath here.
I saw this thread not long ago, and the main intention was to answer the question on topic:
"What are you working on?"

All I'm doing, as I explained before, is just telling you all what I'm working on. I'm not looking for help, and I'm not trying to be rude in any way, to anyone.

And the one time I did work on a dedicated server, I did find that the process of adding addons to the server is different. This was a year ago, so if things have changed, I'm not aware of it.

I focused on making addons for listenservers because they are easier for me to work on.

I am not trying to upset anyone, or ask for help of any kind. I'm just telling you guys what I'm working on, and the progress of said work. I'm not asking for any help.

What you're doing definitely falls into the first and [I]maybe[/I] into the second category.
Unless you're writing e.g. a stand-alone add-on installer, "everything [I]else[/I]" doesn't match your project in the slightest.

Then I'm a moron.
Serves me right for multitasking. I'm in the wrong place.

Strings are a special snowflake, that's why i generate a custom marshal for each string in every different class(but i don't generate the implementation). You can use the same marshal for multiple classes, you just do this at the top of the file. ([URL="https://gist.github.com/4411c1515419dabf98c9"]Implementation[/URL])

[editline]24th November 2015[/editline]

The static SizeOf is somewhat a requirement because nobody thought it would be a good idea to export the size of the class somewhere inside the dll too, so i don't know the size of the memory to allocate for each class before calling the constructor.

First code is C# yes, second must be C++ correct?

Is this like super easy C++ integration for C#?

[QUOTE=Fourier;49173313]First code is C# yes, second must be C++ correct?

Yes, except i don't parse any C++ header files or source files. I deduce everything from the resulting dll file.

Even inheritance is possible (as in, you extend a C++ class from C# and then pass the C# class back to a C++ function which expects either the base class or something derived from it) but i am lazy to screw around with the virtual method table.

How are you planning on dealing with the differences in memory management? Right now you aren't freeing any of the unmanaged memory you allocate.

What about the allocations [url=https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6608940fa15c5fdf611e#file-2015-11-23_23-57-03-txt-L24]here[/url] and [url=https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6608940fa15c5fdf611e#file-2015-11-23_23-57-03-txt-L51]here[/url]?

[cartman300]

The variable one is just a test to check if it works, didn't even care about the memory when i made that. I'm gonna figure something out eventually.

About the memory that gets allocated in the constructor, it actually gets free'd in the finaliser but that's just when the finaliser is explicitly defined in C++ and imported in C#. It's on my TO-DO list to generate the finaliser even if it's not explicitly imported.

Most i care about export a function to demangle the names. __cxa_demangle for GCC or UnDecorateSymbolName for VC++
