Max for Live patches and external files/libraries
I am trying to make a patch in Max for Live using hand and finger position as input.
I often have trouble working with external files/scripts/libraries in Max for Live, and this project is no different.
For example, this handpose library's install script never completes running. Maybe I need to install dependencies manually via node's cli?
But first another option. I tried to adapt handpose.maxpat from this repo. With the patch locked, jit.web should render an .html file located in the same directory as the patch. But instead it displays a blank white screen.
Is Max for Live limited in its capacity to work with external files?
Are there specific directories -- say inside Ableton's User Library -- that Max for Live devices MUST be saved in to function reliably?
Any insight would be appreciated. Cheers
I usually make a folder in my user library and save the amxd and any necessary files in it. I haven’t used any html for anything but I do it with .js and haven’t had any issues doing it that way. As far as I know max for live should find anything in the Max file path also.
Oh my goodness, yup that was it all along. From now on I'll be storing every Max project in the User Library. Thanks.
Glad it worked out
