Lmms Can't load VST Plugins

[musikbear]

Ok this is completely different
In your failing project the dll for synth1 is loaded from

Code: Select all

lmms/Plugins/Synth1/Synth1 VST.dll

In the Test.mmp project, the dll is apparently loaded directly from the same folder where you have your project!
There is NO path at all for the VST.dll in Test.mmp

Failing project (Messing around):

Code: Select all

   <instrument name="vestige">
            <vestige plugin="lmms/Plugins/Synth1/Synth1 VST.dll "

Working project (Test.mmp):

Code: Select all

          <instrument name="vestige">
            <vestige plugin="Synth1 VST.dll"

This does not match the path you have entered in Settings


Do you have a Synth1.dll in the same folder where you have the Test.mmp project?

Sorry for not replying quickly, got a bit side tracked for a couple of days.

Ok, this is confusing me more now. The VST loaded in to that project is located here:


and the actual project is loacted here:


The only thing that comes to mind is possibly differences in versions. I don't know exactly what version I was using before I reinstalled, I know it was at least V.1.0, but not the exact patch. It could be a problem with that, but I figure that the devs would keep backwards compatibility for old projects like that. I don't know if that would be any help at all, but it may lead to something.

EDIT: Not sure if this is an issue with my browser, but the images I used are't loading, so I'll just post the raw links to the image as a fail safe.

yes, and this is not related to versions.
The xml line in the file shows that lmms found the synth1-dll in the same folder as the folder where the project is located

Do you know how to search for files ?
Try and search the lmms tree for the file:
Synth1 VST.dll
I think you may have more than one..?

No its a bit tricky, but i explained how to post images in this thread:

I do have 2 in my lmms folder, however Test.mmp is under project folder (/lmms/projects/...) and the Synth 1.dll's are located under plugins folder and a vst folder (/lmms/plungins/... and /lmms/vst/...). The duplicate isn't under the same folder as the project.

The duplicate isn't under the same folder as the project.

what folder is it in?
show me the whole path
Then after you have copied the exact path (do that from address-line)
Rename the doublet ..like Synth1EXvst.dll
Just make sure it cant be used
Then reload the Test.mmp
does it load?
In general never have more than one dll for one vst
You have a messed up installation

Okay, I tried renaming the doublet and even moved it out of the lmms folder, Test.mmp is still loading fine with no errors.

As for the paths, here's the path for the project:
/home/zach/lmms/projects/Test.mmp

The Synth1.dll I've been using:
/home/zach/lmms/Plugins/Synth1/Synth1 VST.dll

And the doupilicate Synth1:
/home/zach/lmms/vst/Synth1/Synth1 EXVST.dll

Also, I tested the Synth1 in the 'Plugins' folder and that one did prevent the project from loading, so that's what Test.mmp is loading.

here's the path for the project:

good infos & test
except
is the failing project 'messing-around.mmpz' also in the folder
/home/zach/lmms/projects/

show me that path

Yes, the failing project I sent you is located at:
/home/zach/lmms/projects/messing around.mmpz

[musikbear]
