Patch won't load...verbose mode to see where vvvv gives up?

vvvv beta question
1

a patch I’ve been working on for a few days suddenly won’t open, the vvvv patch window just stays blank…

an earlier itteration will open fine, but the current one doesn’t load

maybe it got corrupted?

it looks fine in notepad, I can’t see where anything is going wrong…

is there a commandlind function that’ll make vvvv a little more verbose and tell me where it’s giving up when loading the patch?

thanks!

me again (gotta register one of these days!)

went into notepad and saved the .v4p as “unicode” as it seems it was “UTF-8” somehow…

not REALLY sure what that means but it opens now!

case closed and confused!

you could try to enable exception dialog ? center click.

or:

  • start vvvv
  • create Renderer (TTY)
  • open your patch
  • check tty for errors (usually it would tell you a specific line/character it has troubles with, that you can than fix manually)

strange that saving as unicode worked for you. utf8 is the right thing.
