Muff's Modules & More

You are editing the module.xml within the zip? Shouldn't be a problem, but make sure the image filename has not changed. It has to match what is in module.xml. Note if you edit a module, you need to restart RackPlanner so the fresh version will be loaded instead of a cached version.

Probably the easiest way to do what you are trying to do is just use the ModuleMaker to create a new module.

Any chance an update could include importing multiple modules at once? My PC's a bit slow, at opening, so it would be nice to select the modules I want. I'm planning on using the Planner as a way to store patches I want to remember.

You mean a multiple select in the Add Module dialog? That should be doable.

I've updated the collection of RackPlanner resources I host at my Squiggletronics web site.

New Library Browser! Click a filename to see what the module looks like, click a button to download it.

The ModuleMaker will probably be updated next. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Modules from ModuleMaker which have been offered to the library will get processed more quickly now. I added a bunch today.

Ah, it took me a minute to see that I needed to click on the filename to get the preview, but wow, that's nice work. w00t

New features in the ModuleMaker utility:
Start by picking a format and side-panels start showing you library contents.

The first one shows a list of the Manufacturers found in that format's part of the library. Click to copy a manufacturer name to the form and a listing of that manufacturer's modules for the selected format appears. Each one has a download button and clicking the name of the module shows you it's picture.

Of course you can still write any manufacturer name into the form but this system will help keep spelling consistent and you might find that the module you wanted to make is already done.

Thanks to ModuleMaker users for all the contributed modules and thanks to Doug for the RackPlanner!

FYI: Browser issues - Some things don't work in IE6. FireFox is fine. If you notice anything awful let me know. It's all valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional so it ought to be okay in modern browsers.

Is there a way to DL everything at once? Does anyone have a zip file of all the modules?

BananaPlug · Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2009 7:19 am Post subject:

All of them? Early on I had a zip of each format but I got tired of keeping them up to date. When I get a chance I'll add a feature to the library letting you select several modules and download them all at once. Thanks for the feedback.

The Library Browser now has buttons for downloading all modules of a particular format all at once. Hover your mouse over the download button to see file size and date. These collections will be automatically rebuilt as new modules are added to the library.

Holy cow this is awesome. hyper

Hey, I noticed that there are quite a few Doepfer modules that used to be up there (at least I thought they were) but now they're gone. Should I create the missing Doepfer modules as time permits, or did you have a different plan?

BananaPlug · Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 8:15 pm Post subject:

Really? The only thing I can think of is that I renamed some of the older Doepfer files that didn't have the format initial "E" in them. What's missing?

Glad you like the new feature.

I think it's probably just me. I created some later and they probably didn't make it into your library.

Do you prefer module descriptions in the name now? Seems like a good idea.
