My first post here so be gentle.. :/

I am probably a newb for not being able to figure this out but when I try to install the template character using file maker I am getting an invalid structure at line 50 error. Heres my start.ini.

This is a great game and I cant wait to mod, mod, mod it!

Maya scene
{
src_path = "[SOURCES]";
run_path = "[RUNTIME]";
in_file = "[SOURCES]scenes/char_template/body.ma";
}

Compgen compress0 {compress = true;}

So after commenting out:

maya_auto_copy = COPY_DIR;
maya_auto_compress = COLOR;

It tries to run but now Im getting

Cannot convert maya file '.....body.ma' : failed to open '.....body.ini'

I checked the ini and I guess its ok.... Its not read only or anything..
I have also tried of course deleting all files and question and re downloading etc.

Thanks!

...and heres whats in the log file:

....Not sure what you mean by full error string.

@aacewin

Please re-download and re-install the Beta-patch and see if that works for you.

Ok, I deleted, re downloaded and installed the beta patch. Now Im getting:

Thank you for the lightning fast responses!

Ok, I got it to work by nuking everything and starting with a clean install. I am able to convert the ma back to obj on the default model. however, if I make any changes in Maya at all it doesnt work. Are there some save settings that I'm missing when I save the scene? Thanks again.

@aacewin

When using a newer version Maya the .ma files are not completely compatible with the filemaker.

This is causing the issue you have. We want to upgrade the filemaker to also support later versions of Maya.

What version are you using now?

2015, what version should is compatible?
On a side note, is will ENB work with xstory?
