BooWhoo....I got problems!
First with my project for my Bender robot, I get this error loading the project file:
My project is rather large and has a little bit everything in it with a lot of scripts. My PC is Windows 8.1. I never did any of the Sept. updates until I went to the latest 9.16.14. My previous version that worked was 6.22.14. And just minutes before I did the update, I loaded my project in version 6.22.14 and it loaded and ran fine.
Another error I get (like if I start a new project) is if I try to add a Sound servo (pc), I get this error:
I'm going to go backswords in the revisions and let you know if any of them did not have these errors between 9.16 and 6.22.
okie looking into it!
I get the same errors in 9.19.14.
9.10, 9.13 and 9.15 generate the same exact errors for me.
I can load other project, just not the one I really want to. One big difference is my Bender robot project file does have the sound servo (pc) in it. Other projects that I tested loaded did not have that in it. I also have a lot of scripts in my bigger project.
It's fixed - uploading the new 2014.09.19 now
I went back to 6.22.14 and my projects loaded fine and Sound Server (pc) ran fine. I'm currently "trying" to upload my Bender project file but it's 92mb (incase you want to load my project to see what might cause the errors).
wow, that was fast DJ!
okay download 2014.09.19.00 and you're good to go
