Nodes from my addonpack still remain red

[Windjammer]

I just downloaded the 32bit addonpack for my 32bit vvvv. I unpacked it in the main directory (folder containing the exe files) and selected the right folder in root.v4p. I also saved root.v4p to ensure it works It doesnt seem to work. FileStream (BASS) nodes, for example are still red now.

How do i fix this?

I unpacked it in the main directory (folder containing the exe files) and selected the right folder in root.v4p.

this sounds wrong. when you unpack it in the right place, you don’t have to change anything in root.v4p!

please doublecheck with the instructions here:

Hey @joreg ,

Sorry for my reply being a little late but it didn’t work out for me.

I had the addonpack folder INSIDE another folder which ive had put next to girlpower, so i corrected that. It should be fine now:

The issue is still occuring though. i still have some red nodes. In this example it implies BassSound.ddl is missing while its not missing at all, it’s inside the addonpack in the right subfolder (yes i doublechecked):

I’m not sure what’s the problem. I noticed that the setup mentions that 2 external libraries are missing, but according to my PC they already got installed:

I assume this shouldn’t be a problem (cause vvvv runs fine). But just to be sure, I reinstalled both vcredists and rebooted my PC. Didn’t help, still red nodes.

Any ideas on how to solve this??

the issue with the red items in setup.exe is explained here: Setup.exe problem c++ 2017 - #3 by joreg - bug - Forum and should be fine. i don’t think it is related to your problem.

but also i don’t really have another idea. i just tried here, and bass works in 32bit builds.

did you use 7zip to unpack the addonpack as we recommend?

[Windjammer]

Yep, I did @joreg
Maybe I should just try reinstalling everything, I dunno.

In my experience 50% of new users have troubles with proper installation of vvvv and 50% of them avoid vvvv on this stage.
So, we lost every forth newbie, only because of this zip-unzip-websetup-ohhh where is DX11 nodes?

Please, do the installator, finally!
2019 coming soon.
We already had proper installers in Windows 95 more than 20 years ago!

@Windjammer please do so. or try on a different pc. i’m afraid i don’t have any other idea at this point.

@bo27 @joreg Reinstalling vvvv itself did the job. It works now, thanks for help.
