Emergency help!! Tweet

Hi,

I have been using Lightwave with Octane for years and years. Never have had any problem.
Today I continued to work with a hurry project just the same way I always do but when I opened a model I started to get these notifications:

Plug-in Missing
No plug-in of type NodeHandler found with name Octane Texture Image.
Would you like to load it from disk?

This has never happened before.
I have not deleted anything and did everything just the way I always do.

What´s going on?
Please help fast if you can.

...and there is many other Plug-ins that are not working as well. Such as Thin-lens Camera ets.

Does someone know where I could find the files that needs to be loaded?
Or give some other help?

And why did this happen all of a sudden without nothing changed with the computer?

[Builtdown]

...Anyone?

If you have Node Handler on your computer, where is it located?

Huh, I got it working.

I re-installed everything. After that works fine.

Thats the sort of issue that popus up when your jumping between versions of LW with your scenes.
Say.. 2015, and 2020.
Remember.. LWG made upgrades to LW that revised the way it handles its scene and object files. Im not sure about 2018 and 19, but LW 2020 and up Object do not work in 2015.
And when you import a 2015 scene or objects into 2020 it will remind you that those files will be altered by the new 2020 code.
WHich is why 2020 has object file export for lw2015 and you can Package export an entire 2020 scene for 2015.

I know a tad bit confusing and more than a bit of a hassle. Thats when you get those sort of error files.
They may also come up when LW config files gets a bit of a bug. so yes a fresh re-install tends to fix such things.
just remember.. if your going to be working both in 2015 and 2020 then you need to create 2 copies of your scenes and assets, due to the compatability issue.
