This pack defines a new Message type for VVVV which lets you pack dynamic Spreads of various Types into one single Object.
It comes with some handy helper nodes to work with it (Sift, Select, Getslice, etc.)
Furthermore it ships with plugins to create OSC-Data as well as recreate a Message from OSC. While this might help to handle OSC Messages with vvvv it also shows the aweful state of both the OSC specification and the vvvv implementation of it - it cannot handle colors, transforms, vectors, hell, not even double.
Also there is a proof of concept for binary serialisation. This is standard .Net serialisation, so it is slow and chunky. However, it shows the underlying principles, so protobuf, SOAP, XML or even JSon serialisation could be done in the future.

Thanks Elias. Thanks also to the other core VVVV developers and users.
The Nodes
- Framedelay
- Serialize (ISerializable)
- S+H (ICloneable)
- Select
- GetSlice
have been implemented in a Generic Way. Might be a good idea to add them to the vvvv sdk.
