Hi there,

I have a VST I'm writing, and I'm hitting an error with aodix where it loads it fine, but if you save a project and the open that project up, aodix reports the error 'unable to locate plugin.' I was just wondering if anyone here was familiar with the error and had an idea as to what might cause it?

thanks much,
eric

Hi Eric,

I replied to your e-mail that you sent to me. Maybe you didn't get my reply. Check you spam folder please.

Oh great, thanks zaf -- although unless you cleverly disguised it as an ad for viagra, I'm not seeing it there. Any chance you could send me a PM via KVR?

thanks much,
eric

Indeed ... well, I just needed that you send me a compiled dll of your plugin so I test it here. Usually this kind of problem comes from memory/heap corruption, meaning that there is some part of the code causing instability. Maybe it's something else. When you send me the dll (put it in a zip or rar file please), I'll take a look.
Regards

Oh, ha, yes I got that email -- did you not get my reply? Here's a link:

No install procedure, just unzip in your plugins directory.

Memory corruption never occurred to me, I figured there must just be some setup thing I'm not doing. Well at any rate, any info is much appreciated.

thanks,
eric

Ok I got your plug-in.
I've answered to your e-mail, but in case you don't receive it :
2 possibilities :
- memory corruption leading to file corruption
- some "0" value in the plug-in definition, probably "number of parameters",
so try creating a dummy parameter (VST automation parameter) in your
plug-in so that the plug-in reports to host "1" instead of "0".

Please tell me if that works...
Thanks

Zaf, thanks much for the help -- it's working. I detailed what was going on in an email, if you don't get that and have any questions let me know.

thanks much!
eric

I've got your mail !
Good luck with coding.
Cheers
Zaf
