Hi,

Yoyoz - belated happy birthday!

Got the following error and am stumped. Um, help?

Hi Dani,

this is due to an API change that happened yesterday and affects only builds available since this morning. I'll publish a packaged update tomorrow but you can do the following in the meantime:
- edit export.py
- go to line 386
- replace 'create_mesh' with 'to_mesh'
Be carefull not to alter indentation when doing the modification.

Cheers,
Lionel

PS: thanks!

Yoyoz, do you ever sleep?

I have no idea how you manage to keep pace with the changes in the API. Your dedication, however, is deeply appreciated; a sentiment which I'm sure every Blender head Octane user would echo.

Awesome stuff. Thanks a million, and more power to your elbow!

I did try to see if I could find what was wrong. I couldn't see anything obvious.

Roll on 2.57. At least the API might stabilise then.

Hi,

I duly modified the file as instructed, and everything ran hunky dory until the console spat this out: Cheers.

This is same story again... (they're really turning me crazy...)

It should be OK if you do the following:
- go to line 372 of export.py and replace 'create_dupli_list' with 'dupli_list_create'
- in same file, line 702, replace 'free_dupli_list' with 'dupli_list_clear'

Please let me know if it works so I can package the update.
Thanks,
Lionel

Hi, test your changes and work with Rev: 35575.

THX, mib

I am really sorry for the delay - my only excuse being that I am crazy busy at the moment, which always helps.

Just to confirm, your most recent edit works a charm.

How you stay sane with the constant changing and chopping of the API shall presumably remain a mystery.

Many thanks, and cheers!

Who said I was still sane?

I offer my humblest apologies for making such an unwarranted assumption, and will endeavour to refrain from repeating the offence.

Do we, by some splendid coincidence, share hatters?
