Wall Worm News / Wall Worm Pro Now Free

« Last post by wallworm on February 14, 2020, 03:31:53 pm »

Wall Worm v5.0 is now out. With it comes a change in the licensing and distribution. I have opted to release all of the current commercial tools and plugins developed by Wall Worm as free downloads. Wall Worm Pro Pack (which includes Wall Worm Pro and all commercial tools) is now the default download for WWMT. There are several reasons I made this decision. Part of this is because I'm about to make a significant career change in the coming weeks that will affect my ability to spend time with customer support. I will share news of what exactly that change is when it can be made public.

This does not mean that the Wall Worm projects are coming to an end. Far from it. It's just that I've reached a stage where I feel that releasing the tools freely ensures the broadest usage. I want to continue seeing the WW community grow.

For all of the people who have supported me and my work over the years, thank you! I hope that you all continue to get enjoyment out of my work.

Please update WW and see if your errors are now gone.

Bug Reports / Re: MaxScript Exception on install

Sorry for the confusion. I was asking for you to test that line of code to make sure my fix would work (which I did not actually load to WW yet and running that code doesn't actually fix the problem--it simply confirms the fix I will implement). Since the code above does not crash it means my fix will work and I will add it into the next update that will hopefully cause both errors you reported go away.

Out of curiosity, have you considered using a later version of Max? There are so many nice features since 2010 was released. Max 2020 is the best version of Max to-date.

I pasted that line into Maxscript Listener and it did return false. I ran the installation script again after and got this:

Code: [Select]

>> MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception: -- Unknown property: "setPackage" in undefined <<
I'm actually running Max 64 bit on Windows 10. I tried it on the 32 bit version as well and had the same result

To test my fix, can you open the MAXScript Listener (F11) and paste this line in:

Code: [Select]

( isProperty (DotNetClass "System.Environment") #Is64BitProcess AND ((DotNetClass "System.Environment").Is64BitProcess))
Then hit ENTER.

It should print false (I'm assuming this since your DotNetClass doesn't have that property). It should not crash, however.

Please confirm also if you are running a 32-bit version of Windows or Max. I haven't had a 32-bit version for testing in probably a decade!
