Some scripts broke. It's ok, we can fix!

Hello, happy Friday to all!

So I'm back trying to get Mobius set up and going again. I installed Build 41 but things weren't working so for the sake of immediacy, went back to Build 28 and although most everything is working there, some of my scripts aren't working there either.

Kinda feel like I need to start this rabbit hole of the new builds starting with Build 41 but just not sure how long it will take.

Can I ask about this script and why it is isn't working in Build 28?

!name WLSolo03
!autoload


For 2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32

	
		Mute

next

for 1



		Mute

next

	Wait Loop

Next

For 2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32

		Mute
	
next

for 1



		Mute

next

What this was doing was soloing Track 3 for the remainder of the loop and then unsoloing. I have one of these for all 32 tracks.

Why not use Solo, you might ask? Well, I could never get its behavior to work as one might expect but Mute always worked.

Why do Track 1 separate, you might ask? I could never get Track 1 to work without doing it separately.

Calling out tracks like this works in Build 28. I have a FocusLockAll script that does this that still works. This one:

!name FocusLockALL2
!autoload

for track 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32
	if focus true
		set focus false

			else
		set focus true
	endif
next

for track 1
	if focus true
		set focus false

			else
		set focus true
	endif
next

So if you all tell me to stop this nonsense and move to Build 41, will totally understand! Will need help converting all my scripts however. But if I can get these Mute and Solo scripts working then I can have a Build 28 folder that works and keep playing and then have separate new Build folder for porting over to new builds and then move over to that one when everything is working. Any thoughts/insights?

At first glance, the only thing I see "wrong" is this:

	Wait Loop

Next

You don't need a Next after a Wait. Since there is no matching For, I would expect it to just do nothing, but it might be confusing things.

This would be substantially easier in MSL, but I'd kind of like to figure out why MOS isn't working before we go there.

Not sure why Solo isn't working, but that's not had any attention since 2.x That should also be fixed, since it would obviously make this all way easier.

Also, it isn't wrong, but I don't see why you have the special for/next treatment for just track 1. It should be enough
to just include that in the for list of the first loop:

   for 1,2,4,5,...

Finally, the Wait loop in that script will operate within whatever track is currently selected. It looks like you intend that to be track 3, but if track 3 wasn't highlighted, it would wait in whatever track was highlighted (and would be muted).

What would be better is a single script that does "for all tracks, if this is not the active track mute it, otherwise leave it alone". Let me get something working in MSL and I'll post it.

The reason I had track 1 separated was because I could never get it to work the normal way. I don't know why but I went with it.

I just modified the script for Track 1 to look like this:

!name WLSolo01c
!autoload


For track 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32

	
		Mute

next

	Wait Loop


For track 2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32

		Mute
	
next

Nothing happens.

This was working in V2.5, don't recall if it has ever worked in 3. But Soloing a track and automatically de-soloing at the loop start is a technique I love to do.

Guess I'm moving to MSL, ha. Thanks Jeff!

jeff

After the "for" take out "track". It's just this:

for x,x,x,x,x
     ...
next

I took a stab at this with MSL, there is an bug that prevents the solution I want. Still working on it...

Nothing happens there either. And I got that "Track" part from the FocusLockAll script I posted above, that does work. Maybe there is a reason it works in spite of adding the word "track" to it?

Unfortunately, my brain more like a monkey's in that I can learn that if I press the switch and jump on the bar three times, food comes out but less likely to figure out why, ha.
