Known Issues

On Windows, some users have had some issues with license keys being recognized. This is due to Windows misnaming files and appending the names with a ".txt". Please make sure that your license file is named "tradigiTOOLS.lic" without a .txt ending, and that you place the file in the FUNhouse\tradigiTOOLS directory.

NOTE to 64Bit users.

tradigiTOOLS installers for 64bit version install the plug-in to the "Program Files (x86)" folders instead of the "Program Files" folder.  The 64 bit and 32 bit versions share the same location on 64 bit systems in order to share the license file activation and to keep things "neat and tidy".

If you have any question please refer to the Community boards or email us at info@funhouseinteractive.biz.

Hey Dimos!

Great timing for the update!  I've been stopping by a lot lately, specially waiting for this update!  I bought a new computer that runs with a 64bits OS and wanted to start animating with Tradigitools with the 64bit Maya.

Look forward for more great updates and tutorials!

Have a good day Dimos!

Great! Thanks for the 64bit version!

Now only the linux version is missing   ...will there be one in the next update?

[Dimos]

We have discussed this.  We are looking into our options and the Linux port as I write this.  Can't really say much more other then this MAY take some time.  It also depends how much interest there is in a LINUX version.  We'll see.

Cheers!

Ok, I'm a complete tool this morning but for the life of me I can't figure out how to download the 1.20 upload.  Where do I find the user update download?

Thanks,
Jules

[Dimos]

Links are provided above in the FIRST post.  Just click on the name of the VERSION(s) you purchased at the bootom of the post.  Simple as that!

Best wishes,

Hey Dimos-

Downloaded from the links above but I'm gettting corrupted file errors on both safari and firefox when I download the macintosh version....any ideas?

[Dimos]

This has happened once before.   We are not sure what causes this issue but it most likely gets corrupted during delivery and the cached file(s) always takes precedence so in essence you never download the clean version.  Try clearing your cache from both Safari and Firefox,erase/delete ANY 1.2 mac installer file that you have previously downloaded from us, close/quit the browser restart and try again.  If that doesn't work we'll need to get support involved.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

P.S.  OH!!!  And try saving to a new location on your hardrive too.

Zisman, I'd also try downloading it from a different machine.

Heya Big D-

Thanks for the quick response. So I cleared the cache in safari, deleted the previous downloads and it appeared to download and unzip fine this time. BUT ran the installer and at the end of the installer the installation software gives an error message saying the file is damaged.

So one issue quashed but still no luck...is there another location to download from?

[zisman]

Katt-

DLing from a different computer is actually not so easy for me. I've got one desktop in my apt. and don't have any friends w/computers in the area...(no car either, not that I need one...) I'm a bit of an island these days...

[Dimos]

How about if I email it to ya?  Just erase all files again and d/l it to a NEW location ONCE again.  Sound good?
