Alright, deleted. (Those who need it can still get it from r433, obviously.)

Hmm, let me check that on Windows myself...

Eventually I had to fix my broken local SVN copy by going into the repository browser and doing the check out from there. The Windows Explorer context menu option "SVN Update" which I normally use kept complaining about the question marks which were not even there anymore. And clean up did not work either.

Converting my Ages to use the new plugin. In Bimevi, he waveset is throwing off an error:

Ah, pardon me. pond isn't the waveset, it's the model of the pond floor.

Hmm, you're right, D'Lanor. Even updating straight from r430 to 434 wedges something, even though it skips the "poisonous" revisions 431-433. Not good. I wonder if there's anything we can do about that short of dumping and reloading the whole repository.

Whilyam, I'll have a look at your problem tomorrow (unless someone else fixes it in the meantime). Goodnight!

Narrowed it down a bit. Removing this code (for footprints and ripples) fixed it.

pond:

actions:

footmgr:

matrtshade: ripplemat

It must be this fix that causes the error:

Footprint and Ripple materials no longer get the MADD blendflag set that removed intermediate transparency levels (forcing pixels to either fully transparent or fully opaque).

This does affect hsGMatState.

I am not sure why this happens because my ripples and footprints are still fine. My guess is that your very rare case of using the same material for both footprints and ripples is throwing it off somehow.

I don't think that is necessary now that we know a workaround. Doing a check out instead of an update bypasses the bad revisions.

Creating a new folder and performing a fresh checkout on it also works as I have just verified. This is probably an easier method.

Which is odd because I don't HAVE footprints in Bimevi. The code's just there as a legacy from when I was trying to get them to work.

Removed the footprint code and it works again. Thanks.

Fix attempt:

Replace line 365 of prp_AnimClasses.py with the following


I can't test this because I lack blender, all the PyPRP perquisites, an age, and time itself.
