Topic: SVP Free breaks script

Hi.  I was about to run a script based on one of a handful of templates (skeletons) I made last year for several categories of video structures.  Many of them start with:

# Requires AviSynth 2.6MT (using 2.6.0.5MT)
# 9/11/2015 switched to avisynth.2.5.8.6.MT.svp.dll
# 10/17/2016 switched to 2.6, alleged to be MT (2.5.8 dropped everywhere)
SetMemoryMax(1024)
global svp_scheduler=true
global threads=4
global svp_cache_fwd=threads+10

SetMTMode(3,threads)

This has been working fine for at least a couple years (heavy season Sep-Dec each year).  Actually, I'm trying to phase out Avisynth scripts.  But there is a need sometimes.

Recently, I finally got SVP4 Free, never having used SVP outside of InterFrame, etc.  Yes, it run great.  I got with it the MPC player.  It's SO cool to see "instant" 60fps!

But today is the first time I've tried to run a "tried and true" skeleton script, and I got this message from Virtualdub:

Script error:  There is no function named 'SetMTMode'.
(... line 9)

What did installing SVP Free do to damage my Avisynth environment???  And please tell what I can do to get it back AND still keep SVP Free playing fine.

Also, at the end of each script, I have these lines.  Will that blow up too??

SetMTMode(2)
InterFrame(Cores=threads,Tuning="Film",GPU=true)

Re: SVP Free breaks script

SVP installs Avisynth+ instead of Avisynth, which has different syntax for MT stuff
You can either put Avisynth 2.6 MT dll into VirtualDub's folder OR replace the dll in the System32 folder

I am pretty sure that some companies bankrupted in the past after using this principle in the wrong way for managing support forum.

I'd rather find out about what this "Avisynth+" is and use a new syntax, rather than propagate archaic tools.  The code to replace is very small plus I don't need to revisit any of the old scripts.
