Girder 3.3 Plugins Known Not To Work with G4

[Ron]

We upgraded to Lua 5, this means that G3.3 plugins using Lua will have to be recompiled before they work with G4. Also plugins that use the action side of Girder have no means of display their UserInterface (at the moment). They will have to be upgraded to use the DUI or ActiveX UI.

Post your experiences below and I'll keep a list in this post.


Serial Plugin -reason: lua and action
LUAPortIO - reasonm Lua dependency
Popup OSD - Reason: Action Plugin

Thanks, Ron. :)
Ok, I'll start.

The CM11 / CM12 X10 plugin will not load. The plugin allows you to access it's settings in the plugins settings, but you cannot use any of its commands.

ctmedia plugin - reason: action plugin - i'll fix it as soon as i can but im a bit busy at the moment (it does work perfectly with imported G3 GMLs though)

Mark F's plugins.

Serial Plugin.
Winluaex.
LuaEvents.

NOTE: Mark is extremely busy these days. Ron and I will be migrating portions of Mark's work. The biggest task will be the serial plugin. Unfortunately, due to its complexity, we may have to start from scratch... :(

my media player plugin should be fully fucitonal now

[Ron]

Thanks, I removed it from the list.

[Mark F]

I have a couple of plugins that won't matter anymore that I left off the list. The following will fail.

Action plugins:
Firecracker (can be replaced with serial plugin device file so not a big thing once serial is written)
ImBusy
Popup OSD

LUA dependance:
LUAPortIO

The LUAPortIO plugin is written in C (not C++, not MFC) in ONE file! It would be very easy for an experienced LUA plugin developer to port to G4. ;)

The ImBusy plugin functionality (disabling the screensaver and not letting the machine go to sleep) may be in the LSys or LWin plugins.

[Ron]

Thanks Mark we'll look at the LuaPortIO and the ImBusy functionality.

[JSMain]

I'm very dependant on the serial plugin for use with my Mouse Remote.

Hopefully there is something in the works so I can once again use it with G4?

[Mark F]

The serial plugin and, in particular, MouseRemote function is in the works. :)

[Promixis]

IAmBusy has been added to LWinFunc which is going to moved into part of the main library loaded automatically.

SetWaveDev plugin (MMcM) added to the AudioMixer plugin

DTools (DaemonTools) has been moved to G4

DLPortIO has been ported to G4

Tira2 has no interface in G4.
