Final trueSpace 7.61 Beta 8 Unofficial Update

[trueBlue]

How do i get rid of the windows opened by scene view 2, restarting tS doesn't work:
EDIT Changing layout tabs does it!

Looks like the Clintons3dRsView plugin did not Import for you and or your PC does not support it
Scene View 2 should have opened your default browser

.
Look at the Rosetta.Log
Do you see a Warning?
Clintons3dRsView Package - Failed to Import

I finished my investigation. Probably won't help Saul but is useful information.

Starting with a bare winXP virtual machine
Load tS rosetta and the UU9 for rosetta
It failed just like Saul, frozen
I edited the init files with the try catch and tS loaded without any of the custom plugins
Downloaded and installed vcredist_x86 from the link
Now all the Clintons3d plugins loaded and web scene works - not scene view 2 which does not work in winxp
Optdetector did not load
tried manual load of optdetector and no good, result is no line added to the package manager
downloaded and installed optdetector and then it worked

renamed the tS folder and started over
load rosetta and UU9
start tS and frozen
copy the "Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest" from the old tS folder
now optdetect loaded, did some cleanup and fidlling around and optdetect loaded as system

conclusions:

So 2 things are missing for a normal working installation

vcredist_x86 from the previous link so windows knows how to handle the 32bit plugin files
add "Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest" to the UU9 installation to complete the optdetectors

Thanks Clinton!
I have never installed the vcredist_x86 on my PC and your plugins have always worked for me, going on several years now
I have had iOptDetectors installed for several years as well, so I had the Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest on my C drive, not in the UU9 installations

Yeah, the Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest is a weird one. Wasn't expecting it to matter in any way.
Various versions of vcredist_x86 gets installed by different programs, like tS installs a 2005 version, so some other program you installed over the years installed it for you. It all depends on what tool was used to make them. There's the 2005, the original 2008, the updated 2008, 2010, 2013, 2017,2019, 2022 versions and if they don't match your program your program doesn't work. Not usually an issue for them since installers almost always include them.

Probably wrong place to post this and me happy to delete and redirect.....
There used to be a tool in tS7.61 update objects that allowed user to turn off the toolbar shown here:

Where's it gone, been renamed?
Also, i don't have yafaRay installed. My saved layout has the yafaRay libraries removed, they get reloaded to my layout on restart.

You can save it with your scenes if you want
You should be able to close the libraries and save your layout

@ Clinton
UUCommands
UUFunctionSet/function OpenFolder()
I noticed that, if the Animation Folder or whatever Folder is set in the xml file, does not exist, the OpenFolder function does not work
Is there a way to give an Alert if it does not exist?
Something like:
var dir = System.GetMainDir();
if(!fso.FolderExists
System.Alert("Create an Animation Folder in " + dir);

System.Alert("Create an Animation Folder in " + dir);

This should do it.

Code: Select all

// Use: FileRender RClickCommand "Opens the Render to File Folder"
function OpenFolder() 
{
	var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
	var xmldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
	xmldoc.load(System.GetMainDir() + "\\Scripts\\D3DView.RenderToFile.Settings.xml");
	var settings = findChildByName(xmldoc.documentElement, "D3DVIEW_RENDERTOFILE_CURRENT");
	var FILENAME = settings.getAttribute("FILENAME");
	var shellApp = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");

	var parentFolder = fso.GetParentFolderName(FILENAME);
	if(!fso.FolderExists(parentFolder)) {
		folderName = fso.GetBaseName(parentFolder)
		System.Alert("Create folder '" + folderName + "' in " + fso.GetParentFolderName(parentFolder));
	}
	shellApp.Open(fso.GetParentFolderName(FILENAME));
}

Perfecto!
