This Extension simply doe's not work, after Installing it (this is done by copying the .mfx in the extensions folder to the MMF2 .zip extensions folder and the .mfx in the .zip data/runtime folder to the MMF2 data/runtime folder.) and opening the example it just says cannot load advcomment.mfx, what is going on here? Is it a bugged version or what? Can somebody give me a link to a working version of it?
I downloaded it from here, just so you know.
That's strange. It works fine on my computer.
-Do you have Build #248 installed?
-Did you enter the name into exts.ini?
-Does it work if you create an Advanced Comment Object in a blank test application?
Does anyone else get this problem?
I have Build 248 and I installed it in the exts.ini.
Not only doe's the example not load when opening it also doesn't appear in the object bin when creating a new object.
Does it work if you create an Advanced Comment Object in a blank test application? Or does it not appear on the list?
Nope it doesn't appear on the list, how odd is that?
Very strange....
Does anyone else besides dragonguy get this problem? Does it work fine on anyone's computer?
works fine here.
What to check Dragonguy is to make sure you actually have the extension MFX in the right folders.
You don't really need to make an entry into the exts.ini that would just control the grouping of the extensions. You need to verify you have the MFX file in the
Program Files\Multimedia Fusion Developer 2\Extensions
and
the runtime in
Program Files\Multimedia Fusion Developer 2\Data\Runtime
Go look in those folders for a file named "AdvComment.mfx"
Did a check to be sure, I have...
Multimedia Fusion 2/Extensions/AdvComment.mfx 33kb
Multimedia Fusion 2/Data/Runtime/AdvComment.mfx 23kb
I use the kb size of it to tell which one is which the 23kb in the .zip file was the data/runtime one.
This is probably the same issue that has been around for a while... recompile the extension using a different runtime libray
Open the project properties, go to
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation
and switch Runtime Library to "Multi-threaded (/MT)"
NOT "Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)"
Hang on a minute, why would a Comment Object need a data/runtime .mfx?
Comments shoudn't get compiled for runtime, coz they only waste space if they are in runtime, coz the user never sees them.
They would anyway. If you wouldn't put a runtime version into the folder, MMF would cry on compile, i guess.
It's not working for me either, but I just realized that I'm still using one of the 248 betas... Might be why.
New Version.
DanielRhen, should I do what you suggested for every extension I make?
Yes, if you use a Microsoft Visual Studio version higher than V6 (Visual Studio 2005, 2008 etc).
This issue seems to frequently come up, may worth to stick my topic about solving this problem huh? :P
I totally agree Coco, since this problem is reported with almost every new extension!
It appears that update did it! Yay it now works!
