Introduction

extOSC (Open Sound Control Protocol) is a tool dedicated to simplify creation of applications with OSC protocol usage in Unity (Unity3d). Supported platforms are PC, Mac and Linux / iOS / tvOS / Android / Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and other.

Also extOSC is available on the Unity Asset Store for free.

Features:

OSC with coding
Massive implementation of methods, utils, and other for simple operations with OSС through code.
OSC without coding
With extOSC components you can easily implement basic program logic in your application without coding. Components for basic functions: sending, receiving, mapping.
OSC Console
New separated console for tracking sending and receiving OSC packages: Video.
OSC Debug
New easy to use tool for debugging sending and receiving OSC packages: Video.
Map OSC packages
OSCMapping allows you to map float values: Video.
UI
Four new UI-components for easy creation of remote control apps with OSC-protocols: Video.
Addresses with masks support
You can bind addresses with mask (for instance: "/lights/*/value").
Auto pack bundle
extOSC will bundle your packages for optimisation purposes.

And also:

Every data type support (include Array and MIDI)
Compatible with OS X, Windows, iOS & Android, Windows Store (Hololens and Hololens 2)
Tested with TouchOSC, VVOpenSource, OpenFrameworks and others frameworks and applications
Examples

And much more

Installation

Old school

Just copy the Assets/extOSC folder into your Assets directory within your Unity project, or download latest extOSC.unitypackage.

OpenUPM

Via openupm-cli:

openupm add com.iam1337.extosc

Or if you don't have it, add the scoped registry to manifest.json with the desired dependency semantic version:

"scopedRegistries": [
	{
		"name": "package.openupm.com",
		"url": "https://package.openupm.com",
		"scopes": [
			"com.iam1337.extosc",
		]
	}
],
"dependencies": {
	"com.iam1337.extosc": "1.19.7"
}

Package Manager

Project supports Unity Package Manager. To install the project as a Git package do the following:

In Unity, open Window > Package Manager.
Press the + button, choose "Add package from git URL..."
Enter "https://github.com/iam1337/extOSC.git#upm" and press Add.

Examples

Create OSC Transmitter

// Creating a transmitter.
var transmitter = gameObject.AddComponent<OSCTransmitter>();

// Set remote host address.
transmitter.RemoteHost = "127.0.0.1";    

// Set remote port;
transmitter.RemotePort = 7001;

Or you can simple create OSCTransmitter component in Unity editor, or use Create/extOSC/OSC Manager in Hierarchy window.

Send OSCMessage

// Create message
var message = new OSCMessage("/message/address");

// Populate values.
message.AddValue(OSCValue.String("Hello, world!"));
message.AddValue(OSCValue.Float(1337f));

// Send message
transmitter.Send(message);

Or you can use any extOSC/Transmitter components.

Create OSC Receiver

// Creating a receiver.
var receiver = gameObject.AddComponent<OSCReceiver>(); 

// Set local port.
receiver.LocalPort = 7001;

Or you can simple create OSCReceiver component in Unity editor, or use Create/extOSC/OSC Manager in Hierarchy window.

Receive OSCMessage

Bind method to special address. In address argument you can use masks like: "/message/*"

// Bind "MessageReceived" method to special address.
receiver.Bind("/message/address", MessageReceived);

Method realization:

protected void MessageReceived(OSCMessage message)
{
	// Any code...
	Debug.Log(message);
}

Or you can use any extOSC/Receiver components.

Get value from OSCMessage

You have two ways to get the value from the message.

var value = message.Values[0].FloatValue;
// Any code...
Debug.Log(value);

if (message.ToFloat(out var value))  
{
	// Any code...
	Debug.Log(value);
}

Other examples you can find in Examples folder.
