Still an issue with material mix node or alpha image node

Hi, I've been using this node set up for ever to do over painting and decaling
but since 16.3 and up I'm getting the results shown. Is this still an issue with
the Octane Mix Material node or maybe the Octane Alpha Image node?

In standalone (v4 and 2018) it works as expected. I latest Test Blender plugin it also works as expected but it is inverted :/

Hi dreif and J.C,
Thanks for your reports and sorry for the inconvenience.
In current blender builds(16.3.x and 17.x), we fixed a legacy bug in mix material which has been there for years.
Basically previous builds inverted the order of mix material inputs and now the order is correct.
In the next build, we will fix the backward compatibility bugs so you don't have to change your scenes manually.
If you want a quick patch in current builds, here I wrote some script to help you invert the inputs automatically. It works fine in the tests. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Usage:
1. Close OctaneBlender
2. Download, uncompress and replace your "compatibility.py" under "[OctaneBlender Folder]\2.79\scripts\addons\octane", e.g. for me it's "D:\OTOY\softwares\BlenderOctane17.1\2.79\scripts\addons\octane".
- For Mac, it is put under "[blender.app folder]/Contents/Resources/2.79/scripts/addons/octane".
3. BACKUP your scene file
4. Open your scene with OctaneBlender. Now the order of mix material inputs should be inverted.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Cheers,
DrawFun

This is not working.
File was saved in 15.3.4 then opened 16.3.1 and 17.1 with updated compatibility.py file. After opening the order of mix material inputs is not inverted.

I'm thinking it's the 7zip file it's self. I get this when testing the file in 7zip.

Hi J.C and dreif,
Could you please try this one? Please change the extension from .txt to .py before you use it. Thanks.
