VCV oto.ini generator

Just got a couple things to say.

1. I don't think the oto generator works properly on mac.

This is what happened when I tried to open it.

I checked Console and this is what I found.

2. Is there any way to use this for non-Japanese VCV reclists, written in the same way? (syllables separated by underscores)

So let's say I have a string that goes like ka+_ka+_ke_ka+_k9_ko+_k@_ku
And I want my resulting OTO entries to be
- kA
A kA
A ke
e kA
A k9
9 kO
O k@
@ ku

Would it be possible to generate an OTO like that? It would make my life easier, being a non-Japanese VCV reclist writer.

An error for launching the .jar may have something to do with your Java version, as it happened with other people. Otherwise, I don't know what may be causing it on Mac, and I can't test this, since I don't have an Apple machine.
About the console message, I know nothing about it. This may be a function that Java inserts automatically.

Regarging custom reclists, the generator was made to be able to deal with custom reclists, as long as there are corresponding entries on its dictionaries. However, it was not made to actually change the input syllables when creating the aliases. Unless you treat the input as romaji, and set to generate the oto.ini as kana only, configurating the romaji dictionary like this
ka+ kA A
ko+ kO O
(etc)

I reinstalled java and was now able to open it. As it opened I got this window, but it didn't seem to affect functionality

I tested the generator and it did create an oto.ini file in the target directory, but upon opening it, it was completely blank.

It seems that Java's Look and Feel settings aren't cross platform. But this really doesn't affect the program's functionality, it's only a visual matter.
As of the blank oto.ini, try generating one with the sample reclist included with the generator and check if it will come out empty as well.

Do the following, then:
Open your console and navigate to the generator's folder.
Use this command http://prntscr.com/6aqb62
The generator will open, feed it a reclist, set the output folder and the other parameters.

After that, it should have generated an "output.txt". Show me its contents

Well, this makes things harder for me to help you then.
I could try to force the generator to produce a log file. But I'd have to edit its source code, and it's not guaranteed that it may work on your system.
But I can't do this immediately, I'd probably need some days to have the time to do this modification.

I could try using the generator on windows to see if it works there, but it might not be anytime soon.

I've tested it on windows and it works! I was able to customize the list as you suggested, and it successfully created my base OTO with proper capitalization. Thank you for the OTO generator!

Tady159 It seems that you can't imput numbers higher than 999 in any of the settings in the OTO Generator >.< Am I doing something wrong?

I think I may know what is causing this.
I have formatted the parameter inputs so that they will only accept numbers. But I was just testing them with high numbers, and it seems that when they go above one thousand, the formatter misinterprets the number. And it won't accept one million because it will think that there are two dots.
I have two possible solutions for this:
Easy one: remove the formatter, and trust that the user will never try to input anything that isn't a number
Very hard one: try to make the formatter more complex and accept high numbers in any environment

Depending on how your reading your info from the neato program ( Its awesome o_o btw ) you could either of these methods to remove the need for a formatter

"if(text.contains("[a-zA-Z]+")==false&& text.length()>2){" to check if it does not contain letters ( Might not include symbols though )
"if(text.matches("[0-9]+")&& text.length()>2){" To Check and see if it has numbers ( You might have to change the Range to include some large numbers )

The second case may work, but only with integer numbers. The trick is to accept floating point numbers.
But I've got an idea that's relatively simple and may work. I just need the time to implement it

Some users have reported the empty file error. Once I have time, I'm gonna work on that.

The recommended settings depend on the tempo used for recording. But I don't remember the formula now.

i just used setparam. but since i have you, do you know of an alias generator? like just adding hiragana aliases to a vcv bank?? i cant find it anywhere
