hi all,
I am looking for a way to record and playback OSC messages.
I found a an extension on git that does exactly that:
https://github.com/sensestage/SC-OSCFileLog
Running the example in the help file, unfortunately I get an error (see
below) when I try to play back the recorded file, I guess it might be a
SC version problem, as this extension is 5 years old.
Are there any other known way to record and playback OSC messages?
Thanks,
Marcello

SC changed so that floating-point numbers whose fraction is 0 (e.g. 1.0, 2.0 etc.) now always print with .0 at the end. Before, .0 was omitted.
It looks like this extension is forcing a certain datatype to be always float in the text representation, without checking whether the decimal point is actually missing.
That's an annoyance (and developers are aware that this change, though made for a good reason, did end up breaking code) -- but it's also because of fragile code design in the extension. That is, it's correct to add .0 if a float renders as e.g. "300" (no decimal point) -- but the logic in the code currently doesn't check for a decimal point -- it says "if the fraction is zero, then there is no decimal point, so we have to add one." So the extension should be updated either to remove the check (which is not necessary anymore) or to use a simpler condition.
