Help is on the way!!

I've uploaded a Debug version here for Windows:
http://al.chemy.org/files/Alchemy-005-Debug.zip

It will open up a beautiful console window that spits out loads of text.

First about the Alchemy modules:

Code: Select all

08/08/30 9:28:06 [0x0-0x21021].Alchemy[158] Aug 30, 2008 9:28:06 AM org.java.plugin.standard.StandardPluginManager activatePlugin
08/08/30 9:28:06 [0x0-0x21021].Alchemy[158] INFO: plug-in started - org.alchemy.affect.colourSwitcher@1.0.0 (active/total: 2 of 19)
08/08/30 9:28:06 [0x0-0x21021].Alchemy[158] Aug 30, 2008 9:28:06 AM org.java.plugin.standard.StandardPluginManager activatePlugin
08/08/30 9:28:06 [0x0-0x21021].Alchemy[158] INFO: plug-in started - org.alchemy.affect.blindness@1.0.3 (active/total: 3 of 19)

etc... etc... Followed by the plugin count - the last thing printed out in a normal startup:

Code: Select all

08/08/30 9:28:06 [0x0-0x21021].Alchemy[158] Number of Plugins: 18

If you can check that out and get back to me that would be super.

I have had a few problems with the CameraColour module, because it uses some external libraries. If you try taking that out of the modules folder, it could be the problem? More of an educated guess...

Also, has the program just recently stopped working?
I have the same version of Java on XP and no problems so far.

Hey

I took a look at the error.
The first one says: "We have a problem loading the modules!"
So check that you have the modules folder inside the Alchemy folder and it is full up with the modules.

The second error is taking exception to your Frenchness!
I have adjusted the code a little bit, so download this here and give it another try:

ok
i have the "modul folder with 18 files ".zip " in .



here the new message from the consol






thank 's for your help (sorry for my english )

[Karl DD]

Thanks for submitting the console screen-shot.

Basically it says that there was an error loading the plugins i.e. Alchemy Modules.
But the surprising thing is that the modules are apparently in the right location.

Just to be sure, check the layout of the Alchemy folder looks like the bottom screen-shot here:

[bruno]

well i 'have a one more folder it's called "lib "
you can see below a screen shoot with the files inside the "lib" folder

i hope it can help





thank's you for spending so much time

Ok, that looks fine.

Maybe try and move all but the 'org.alchemy.create.shapes' and the 'org.alchemy.affect.mirror' mirror modules out of the 'modules' folder and see what happens.

If it launches then, try add the modules back one by one to see which one is causing the problem.
The 'org.alchemy.create.blank' was actually put in there by mistake, but it shouldn't cause problems...

[bruno]

I've moved all the files you've mentioned exept 'org.alchemy.create.shapes' and the 'org.alchemy.affect.mirror'.
It still doesn't run

I hate to say this Bruno, but I am fresh out of ideas as to what is causing that error.
Is it the same error message coming from the console?
