Problem with Forest Ivy when loading scene from my network (NAS).

[Tobias Jansson]

Hi!
When I load a scene from my NAS and try to pick a plant preset in Forest Ivy I get this error:

Error loading portable material library from "C:\Users\anima\AppData\Local\Itoo Software\Forest Pack Pro\lib\ForestIvy\Climbing Plants\matlibs\climbing_plants_@iTooLibraryFunctions.ms:getRenderer().pmat"

Error opening portable material library C:\Users\anima\AppData\Local\Itoo Software\Forest Pack Pro\lib\ForestIvy\Climbing Plants\matlibs\climbing_plants_@iTooLibraryFunctions.ms:getRenderer().pmat
(Could not open material library file).
Error loading portable material library from "C:\Users\anima\AppData\Local\Itoo Software\Forest Pack Pro\lib\ForestIvy\Climbing Plants\matlibs\climbing_plants_@iTooLibraryFunctions.ms:getRenderer().pmat"

Error opening portable material library C:\Users\anima\AppData\Local\Itoo Software\Forest Pack Pro\lib\ForestIvy\Climbing Plants\matlibs\climbing_plants_@iTooLibraryFunctions.ms:getRenderer().pmat
(Could not open material library file).


If I put the same file on my local drive (C:) and open it from there, everything works pefectly.

Hi Tobias,

It seems that the getRenderer() function from the iTooLibraryFunctions.ms script doesn't seem to be executed properly, which is causing the Automatic Selector to struggle with choosing the correct material version. Manually selecting the appropriate material version should work just fine.

Could you clarify how you moved these libraries? Did you do it manually, or did you follow the method explained here?

Thank you in advance for any additional insights or comments you can share on this issue. Your feedback will be helpful not only to us but also to our user community, in case others encounter similar problems.

Best regards,

Hi!

I did not move any libraries, everything installed without changing any paths or other settings. The only files that resides on my NAS are the .max files and it seems this only happens with files that uses Forest Pack already, in this case ver8. I created a fresh simple scene and saved it to my NAS and this scene did not have any problems. But as I explained earlier, copying/moving the troublesome .max files to my local drive solves this problem
Anyway, I'm a long time user and would like to take the oppertunity to thank you for an awesome product!
