Create AS-Drums-n-Filters

Some nitpicks

• I feel it that "Pack" should be removed from the human-readable name.
• I don't see a manual on the page that the manual property points to, so it should be removed until one is added.

[AndrewBelt]

• The manufacturer name should be "AS", not "AS-Drums-n-Filters"

[AndrewBelt]

• The [Filters] prefix looks weird. Maybe remove it?

Like this is ok? got confused with the "pack" and "manufacturer name" comments:

{
  "slug": "AS-Drums-n-Filters",
  "name": "AS",
  "author": "Alfredo Santamaria",
  "license": "proprietary",
  "version": "0.5.0",
  "homepage": "http://www.hakken.com.mx/ascustomworks/",
  "manual": "",
  "productId": "1083015692331"
}

Name refers to the plugin name and was fine originally except without "Pack", it's just unusual to suffix it with "Pack" or "Plugin", since well, that's what it is.
Manufacterer is your "brand", which is "AS".
Remove the "manual" property completely. A blank string is invalid

The other fixes require a recompile.

Oh, ok then:

{
  "slug": "AS-Drums-n-Filters",
  "name": "AS Drums & Filters",
  "author": "Alfredo Santamaria",
  "license": "proprietary",
  "version": "0.5.0",
  "homepage": "http://www.hakken.com.mx/ascustomworks/",
  "productId": "1083015692331"
}

Question: changing the slug here to AS instead of AS-Drums-n-Filters, will conflict with the compiled plugin, right? Made it like that to avoid mixing the module list with free and paid modules, for example:

Also this entries look similar:

  "slug": "Blamsoft-XFXDistortionPack",
  "name": "XFX Distortion Pack",

    "slug": "Blamsoft-XFXF35",
  "name": "XFX F-35",

Sorry, I'm still confused with your instructions vs what can be seen on the other slugs, but I'll do as you instruct, as soon as I understand all right ;)

Just noticed, it's done the same way on vcv plugins:

  "slug": "VCV-Console",
  "name": "Console",

  "slug": "VCV-PulseMatrix",
  "name": "Pulse Matrix",

I guess I'm not getting anywhere by myself.

I think you're confusing plugin slugs with manufacturers. Slugs are always unique IDs that are usually never seen by humans and must never be changed. Manufacturer names are human-readable and help categorize in the Add Module window. The plugin's "name" in the manifests sets the first column of https://vcvrack.com/plugins.html. Ideally, the second column, the "author" should equal the "manufacturer".

I need to get Autodafe to set all of his manufacturer strings to "Autodafe". Blamsoft and VCV are the recommended way.

I also just noticed that you need a .json extension in this file.

I'll fix your manifest, but you need to fix your plugin build. Email me a version 0.5.2 when you're ready.

[AScustomWorks]

Indeed I'm mixing things. I think I get it now, let's see (example for v0.5):
On the makefile:

SLUG = AS-Drums-n-Filters (this keeps the plugin on a unique folder)

then on the cpp file:

p->slug = "AS"; (it should be "AS" always in my case)

and:

p->addModel(createModel<Drums8x8KicksWidget>("AS", ...etc

This way every module I make (free or paid) will be listed under "AS" in the Add Module window, and that's the expected behavior, right?

[AndrewBelt]

No, you need to use this https://github.com/VCVRack/Template/blob/master/src/Template.cpp#L8-L10

Yes to your addModel call.

Neat!, doing the plugin build now.
