Unable to start Isadora with NON "Pete" Free Frame plug-ins

CitizenJoe

@DusX That's exactly what's happening to me using version f24.

The newer version crashes on start up.

Cheers,

DusX

Hmm.
I am using the latest release.
and just now tested f24.

F24, reacts the same.. I can open, load patch, crashes when trying to show stage.

Dear DusX + Citizen Joe,

OK. So it's not an isolated problem. I will solve this. But first, we need to get you both up to a new version because, to debug the crash reports you're sending on Windows requires that I have an exact snapshot of the source code. I have this for 1.3.1f02, but you're not using that version. (I must have provided it to you along the way somehow, and I didn't take care to make this snapshot because I wasn't ready to put it on the pre-release page.)

So, I'm going to get 1.3.1f04 out in the next 24-48 hours and then you'll need to do these crashes again for me. I'm sorry for the trouble on that.

But finally, to be ultra clear:

1) If the FF plugins in question **are not** in the FreeFrame folder, there is no crash at all, yes?

2) If the FF plugins in question **are** in the FreeFrame folder, there is a crash, but you're not actually using the FF plugins you added, right?

Best Wishes,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I must say that there is a certain comfort in not being alone....

To answer your questions, 1) correct; 2) Isadora crashes on start up, so I can't get any further.

Thank you,

Hugh

DusX

Mark.
Yes to both.
In my case the crash is only when opening the stage.
I just triple checked this, and have it narrowed down to a sub folder of freeframe fx (~90).
Isadora will crash if I have the freeframes in the folder when I open Isadora (no errors reported), and even with a blank/new patch show the stage (not a single actor added to the patch)

I will send a crash report of the crash with a blank patch in just a moment.

DusX

I have found that I have 3 freeframe files causing this crash.
I have emailed them to Mark for further investigation.

I would like to add that in general freeframe is working very well for me.. I even have complex freeframes like Whorld (uses external files to generate visuals) running without any problems.

Dear DusX + Citizen Joe,

Well, Ryan's FreeFrame plugins work just fine on Windows 7 64-bit. Sigh... the saga continues. I'm working on compiling the new version as we speak. Then I'll be able to take a stab at your crash reports.

Best Wishes,

Mark

DusX

I have submitted all the data I can gather.
Let me know if anything else will help.

CitizenJoe

Hi Mark,

I submitted the bug report - sorry it took so long.

BUT - you've made some changes I think! The "continue" option in the report worked a charm and I was able to load Isadora after a fatal crash! Even those 2 suspect actors loaded and WORKED as they should!! Very exciting.

I haven't the opportunity to continue my research tonight, but this is great so far!

Thanks,

Hugh

Dear Hugh,

Well then, we're very close. FreeFrame plugins are supposed to return a code that says FF_UNSUPPORTED when you ask it if it has a feature and that feature is unsupported. Your problem plugins are returning FF_FAIL, which, by the book is the wrong response. I guess I should simply be looking for FF_SUPPORTED, which is what I'm going to do.

So I think you'll have everything working in the next version.

Best Wishes,

Mark
