what am I doing wrong?
installed the script
it asked to install functions script
then in asked to create a tracktemplate with a reverb fx
and a chosen name
ok
then it generated a new script
which is the script itself
so I make a time selection
it asks again about time or 0 = time selection
I type 0 in or whatever it says
press ok and
it freezes Reaper
a render windwos appear but it freezes
estimated time - infinity
it just freezes in short
whenever I try to run the script I get the prompt Enter Tag (>= 3 symbol). no matter what I enter, the script then fails and returns:
Archie_Var; Pre-reverb(`).lua:891: attempt to call a nil value (field 'CF_SetClipboard')

Archie_Var; Pre-reverb(`).lua:891: attempt to call a nil value (field 'CF_SetClipboard')
any idea what I'm doing wrong?
i'm running reaper 6.40
You probably need to install SWS extension for the script to work (as CF_SetClipboard is a function provided by it).
yessss, that did the trick! thank you good sir! <3
Unfortunately, the author of the scripts has disappeared since February 2021, I will try to contact the detective, because no one has any Archie contacts I really hope that everything is fine with him
On the Russian-language forum, Archie said that he was in the hospital, had lung problems and needed additional testing. He also said that he has lost a bit of interest in scripting programming. It was around February/March of this (2021) year. Since then, he has completely disappeared from sight and does not even indicate activity on social networks. Somehow, finding him in reality or contacting relatives will not work, because he was present on the Internet anonymously.
Thanks for this, and thanks to the forum for pointing me to it. There's a ton of stuff to study as sample code, along with actually doing useful stuff.
pre-reverb.lua - Modified version for more streamlined experience
Thanks for this amazing script, Archie! I hope all is well.
The attached script is a modification of the original, with the goal of a more streamlined user experience:
Code:
-- Modifications:
-- This is the actual script instead of a script generator.
-- Removed Arc_Function_lua.lua dependency.
-- Removed SWS dependency.
-- Use a local track template (must be inside a folder called "templates" next to this script) instead of searching FXChains path.
-- (Optional) Automatically move edit cursor to beginning of pre-reverb via "MOVE_EDIT_CURSOR" variable.
-- (Optional) Shift entire project right to create space for pre-reverb as needed via "INSERT_SPACE" variable.
-- (Optional) Removed length prompt (length is set to initial time selection) via "CHOOSE_LENGTH" variable.
