no function named "toon", but there is!!

I've recently built a new computer (better for editing), and installed AMVApp v2.1 and avisynth v2.5, same as the old computer. I also installed the same version of FFDShow. I've transferred all my AMV files over, and copied my plugin folder for avisynth (as I had added a few filters not included with that install, including Toon). All this worked fine on the old comp. Now when I try to open the avs files in media palyer classic, it says there is no function named toon, but it's right there in the plugin folder. I even re-installed it to make sure. If I comment it out, it will play.

Also, NO avs files are loading in VDM. It says Avisynth open error: Avisynth: script open failed! The avs test scripts worked fine during install. Any thoughts on that while I have your attention?

If it's not loading your .avs files, and a toon function is missing from it the problem maybe that your files were damaged during corruption. You might want to try re-installing AMVapp completely or removing Avisynth, and downloading the latest version from Avisynth's website. Another problem is that the .prm file or the premiere gui maybe missing unless it's in the folder. Also, if your trying to write a script, and it's giving you an error then make sure your opening video file via avisynth. I'm not really to knowledgeable about application errors yet. Oh, and don't overlook the fact that it could be your registry as well. I hope some of this will be useful.

I'm not sure about the VDM problem offhand.

Does Toon work if you load it manually with a LoadPlugin() line? I found on my computer that, after a certain point, AVISynth fails to autoload some of your plugins if you've got too many.

Sorry for the hiatus. I've been busy.

But no, it does not work if I LoadPlugin(). I assume I'd load "path\Toon-v1.0.dll", 'cause that's what I've got working on my old computer.

I also moved a bunch of plugins so that there are now 49 in the folder. Still no go. (I didn't really think that was the problem since my old comp had 64 in the directory and somehow worked.)

Uninstalling and re-installing was one of the first things I tried, but I might have to try again...

Found the answer! Now that I think about it, I had to install this on my old comp too.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

Thank God for Doom9 forums.

But VDM still won't play avs files...

It sounds like you have a bad avs plugin messing things up.
Try removing all your plugins (there are a few that avisynth requires, dont have the list off hand though) then see if you can load avs scripts in vdub. Then add plugins back until you find the problem.

Yup, it was masktools. Zarxrax, what would we do without you?

When you say a "bad plugin", do you mean a bad copy of the plugin, or the inherent nature of the plugin is bad and no copy will work well? Just curious.

It is probably an incompatibility between masktools and some other plugin or function. There are two versions of masktools, the original, and then masktools v2 (mt_masktools.dll). Most functions that used the original masktools have been updated to work with v2, so I would recommend not keeping the original masktools.dll.

I feel I should add that I have had MaskTools 1.5.8 and MaskTools 2 alpha 35 coexisting in my plugins directory for a good long time, and I've never had a problem calling functions that require either one -- I thought the point behind prefixing all the version 2 function names with "mt_" was to ensure that there would be no conflicts.

I'd suggest making sure you have <a href="http://manao4.free.fr/MaskTools-v1.5.8.zip">MaskTools 1.5.8</a>; if that does in fact still cause everything to fail to open in VDM, then it should definitely be brought to the attention of Kurosu and Manao.

(I'm rather amused that they forgot to update the "File Version" past 1.5.1 when building the DLL...)
