Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:44 pm Post subject: PCG Tools for web |
|
|
We all know Michel's PCG tools described in this topic, and without a doubt everyone is thankful for this great program. Well, except for those poor Mac OS X users, who are left out to dry!
Thankfully, I'm amongst those Windows-users who feel sorry for those poor bastards... I've been talking to Michel about creating a web based solution which can be platform-independant. He was so kind to provide his source code. And since Microsoft .NET technology is so awesome, it was easy-peasy!
Joking aside now, I was able to create a web based service that allows people to upload a PCG, make some changes and download a new version!
The service can be found here:
http://pcg.webberig.be
Features
- Upload a PCG file, make the changes you want and download an updated version of the file
- For now, (I think that) only Kronos files are supported.
Pipeline
- A more fancy upload shizzle... allow drag 'n drop to the browser window and have a progress bar
- Support more synths. Please provide me feedback, since I'm unable to test on other synths.
- Editing of setlist slot names and descriptions
- Optimize the UI while maintaining the Kronos OS look 'n feel
- Insert/cut/copy/paste buttons
Credits
Credits go to Michel and his PCG Tools. My web service uses his code behind the scenes to read/write PCG files.
I welcome your feedback, suggestions and post any errors you may find...
Warning
This is the very first version of my application, use caution! |

Congratulations for the effort.
I'm glad finally also the Unix/Linux users can benefit from a PCG app.
I get a 404 - File or directory not found error so I hope it's only at my location. However if others have seen it too: I get a previous version from him which shows some very nice screens and it looks very promising.
I will make sure you get the latest code you can incorporate in your app.
Credits go to you too because I don't have the knowledge for making web applications and there is quite some code to make it all work together. _________________

I will also add a link in my app (if you provide me with a logo and weblink) and a post in my thread forwarding to this. _________________

I noticed this after posting my announcement... Off to a bad start :s
This worked locally, but the server refuses... Please bear with me while I try to fix this! |

Did you perhaps disable cookies ?
When exactly does this error occur ?
Tested on 2 machines in Firefox (version 8.0), works for me... |

No, I didn´t
It happens when I try to upload a pcg, after clicking on the upload button.
Tested in firefox 9.0.1 (pc version).
Chrome says
This webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at http://pcg.webberig.be/Editor/SetList/0 has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.

I made a change which will have better error handling.
Apparently, this error occurs when you try uploading a PCG file that doesn't contain set lists... And as the application only supports set lists (for now), it won't work!
You should now see a more clear error message... |

Great work! Unfortunately I don't think I have any PCG's with any setlists but I tested one with none in it and it seemed to work (except no names in the setlist), nice with drag & drop _________________ - Download & share Korg keyboard patches for free.

The next thing that I should add is obvious: Editing of names and descriptions. But what should I add next ? |
