Hi there!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place I'm very new to these forums! (first post - woo!)

I am using PD-extended and the 'rtc-lib-pre0.2' extension library, and I was wondering how it would be possible to use objects from the library (the particular ones I'm using are 'random-ramp-urn' and 'anti-osc'), and be able to save the file somewhere outside of the confines of the library.

As it stands if I save the file outside of the rtc folder the objects come up in the red perforated, 'I don't exist, idiot' boxes.

Should the rtc-lib-pre0.2 be inside the PD package in the 'lib' folder?

Thanks for any help, I'm pretty new at this!

You have to add it to your path. Open the Path... window (on OSX it's Pd-extended->Preferences->Path..., on Windows I think it's in the File menu) and you should be able to add the rtc-lib-pre0.2 folder. The other option is to stick it in Resources/extras Pd's folder. If you're on OSX, you'll have to do the right-click->Show Package Contents thing.

Also, what is this pre0.2 extension? Pd-extended comes with rtc-lib, but I don't know if it's pre0.2. It's not loaded by default, but if you add [import rtc] to your patch, it will load.

Hello,

thanks for the reply!

I added it to the Path in PD and now everything works where ever it is saved, cheers! (running OSX btw)
I'm actually not entirely sure what the pre0.2 bit is... I've essentially been given the library by my tutor to look at and use, he is on here actually maybe he will respond! His username Kilshaw I believe.

Essentially I think it is just an upgraded/modified version of the original library with a few extra bits in.

Thanks very much for the help!
