Summary0000188: Many copies of dialog box: Could not load module
Description

Have to push OK dozens of times every startup

Steps To Reproduce

-Add several VST/VSTi that has "Could not load module" error to the Plugin Manager
-Add a VST track to the project with the VSTs
-Save the project
-Close the program
-Open the program with a project that uses the VSTs
-A dialog box will open not just one for each VST/VSTi, but one dialog box for each incompatible function of each VST/VSTi

Another possible way to reproduce:
-Add several plugins to Plugin Manager.
-Close the program
-Rename the folder that contains the VSTs you added.
-Enter ModPlug & if necessary, load a project that uses one or more of the VSTs

Here is the list of my VSTs (most of them are free from internet and many of them are the ones with the problem):

Additional Information

Suggested fix: Save a list of "Could not load module" errors, maybe even just keep appending to a string separated by the newline character, then display them all on one dialog box after startup is complete (for example: "Could not load the following modules: ...")

TagsNo tags attached.

I'm not sure what you are referring to here. If a plugin could not be found during startup, exactly one dialog is shown:

Problems were encountered with plugins:

Unable to find someplugin1.dll
Unable to find someplugin2.dll
Unable to find someplugin3.dll
...

In fact, the text string "Could not load ..." does not exist in the code at all, so I wonder where you got that from.

I believe "Could not load module" is a VSTi error that seems to happen in some VSTi hosts and not others--it may be a VSTi loading some kind of module that it uses. ModPlug is one of the ones it happens with, and loads a dialog box for each. Perhaps further compatibility would help, or perhaps some of the free VSTi plugins I have are not doing something in a standard way and programs (like MixCraft) degrade gracefully instead of throwing errors. If the VSTi is a loading other modules the plugins in the Synth folder are probably at fault (since each of these synth plugins apply several effects) and you may want to download them for testing.

Well, if you moved all plugin files, OpenMPT shouldn't even be able to find the plugin base and so the plugin should not be able to omit any error messages at all. Can you confirm that the files listed in those message boxes are indeed not the plugins themselves but files they were looking for, and if yes, which plugin do they belong to?

After half a year with no answer to Saga Musix question, do you still have this issue, or can we close it?

If it doesn't exist in the code then in the plugin, but then wouldn't you want to check this out to improve the VSTi compatibility? Other programs (for example, MixCraft) loads this set of plugins fine. Why wouldn't you want to fix it?

I still don't see anything to fix here, because I don't understand the issue and where this error message is supposed to come from.
As said, OpenMPT does not have such an error message and it thus never supposed to display it. OpenMPT has two messages that could be displayed when a plugin cannot be loaded:
"At least one selected file was not a valid VST Plugin." - when adding an invalid file through the plugin manager.
"Problems were encountered with plugins: [list of files]" - when trying to load a previously registered plugin upon startup. Apparently you are getting neither of those, so I am not sure where the message is suppoed to come from.

Closing as it's no OpenMPT message, as said before. It could be a plugin that got confused when it was moved or such.
