Yes I know, I can hear the groans now, but this has just caused a serious issue with me.
As the Dev's have stated many times, they are concentrating on bringing us more and better exporting tools, and I give them a standing ovation for that. Nobody can say that they have not done one HELL of a job giving us free tools for Age creation that are able to just about give us the ability to create an Age just as good as anything Cyan has put out for Uru.
But.......
While it was felt that support for importing was no longer something that they wanted to focus on, it was at least still there for several versions of the plugin.
Now with 1.5.0, importing ANY PyPRP file is now GONE.
Normally I would just shrug, install one of the many earlier versions of the plugin, and go ahead and import an Age.
Why import an Age? Well I have several reasons.
1) As a new Writer I found that looking at Cyan Ages in Blender helped me a LOT. Everyone here did too, but actually navigating my way through a Cyan Age in Blender was a better teacher than any tutorial or posts on here.
2) If I've completely lost my blend file for one of my Ages, it is still possible to import it from the Age file. Granted, there would be data that was lost, but that is still better than having to start all over from scratch again.
3) Some one may want someone to look at their Age for them, and for one reason or another, can not upload their blend file. In that case, the person that is trying to help, can import their Age.
Now, I'm trying to import someone's Age to help them. But I can't see. Every single version of the Plugin prior to 1.5.0 is giving me an import error over a sitting region. And of course 1.5.0 had the PyPRP import tool completely removed from it.
Now, I could try going into the Age with something like PrpTool and delete the sitting regions and see if the earlier versions of the plugin will allow me to import the Age then. Only no, the PrpTool won't let me delete anything from the prp files.
Sooooo........
Basically I'm completely screwed on this.
I do know that GPNMillano was working on something that was allowing her to import the MOUL Ages and avoid some of the errors. I know that RTR also jumped in and fixed up some of the errors in some of the later versions of the Plugin.
Isn't there anyone out there that just might have a little bit of time to help the Dev's out and bring back the ability to import PyPRP files?
To me this was like buying a new Socket set for your tool box, and deciding to throw out the Vise Grips simply because you had something new and fancy to use. And then the day you NEEDED the vise grips, you were up the creek because you tossed them out and now having nothing to fix your problem with.
Not picking here, just really distressed that I can't help someone, nor fix a problem that I also have.
