hi.
i stripped the "zexy" from the subject-line.

Bad news:
BUT - there are some SERIOUS problems with Gem, and the entire patch is now broken!!! I'm trying to understand more of the problems, but what I see right now, is something wrong with pix_buffer, and pix_freeframe, and something with the fonts, in particular. There's an error with rotateXYZ but I don't think that's important. Any suggestions??? This is on WinXp, pd-extended RC 1.
let's have a look.
Here is the output when I first load my patch:

[pix_buffer]: there is a minor annoyance, where [pix_buffer_read] (and [pix_buffer_write]) do a check for an existing [pix_buffer] at creation time (which is a bad time to check, since the corresponding [pix_buffer] might be yet non-existant). usually you can safely ignore this warning. (however, i was not able to detect any other problems from your error logs, which does not mean that there are none).

just to make sure: you DO have a PeteSlide.dll in C:/vid/gem-vj/freeframe/? and Gem has been able to load this dll in previous incarnations?
afaik, Gem for w32 is still just directly pulled from gem.iem.at (instead of compiled on the autobuild farm); this might still be a problem with compiler versions and the like...

this has always been like this: [rotateXYZ] either needs no or exactly 3 arguments; try to find out why your patch gives another number of arguments to this object.

Gem's default font has changed from arial.ttf to vera.ttf for legal reasons. just copy your old C:/vid/gem-vj/over/arial.ttf to C:/vid/gem-vj/over/vera.ttf....
