Hi there,
dont know if this qualifies as a bug or is actually one or not. I just switched to 1.5 official. Uninstalling the beta did not remove Helium and now
i get a duplicate class ID warning. I cant say if this affects other versions too. Just as a quick heads up.
Regards,
Thorsten
This is sort of a “Known Limitation”, we might address it better in the future though.
On the Dev.Notes page we mentioned explicitly that one should remove any Helium added manually in earlier Betas to avoid the duplicate plugin message. Krakatoa 1.5 will add the entry to the Plugin.ini file only if there is no other entry called “Helium” on the list. There was also a bug that failed to install it when using the “Add Krakatoa to 3ds Max” Wizard outside of the Installer, but it was fixed in the final build.
If you have Helium in your plugins folders and it is the version from April 12,2009, you can simply remove the Helium entry Krakatoa added to the plugin.ini to use your own, especially If you are doing MAXScript development using Helium outside of Krakatoa. Alternatively, remove the copy you have added and leave the Krakatoa one.
Thanks for the feedback!
