Plugin downloads messed up

Postby Ramaraunt » Mon Dec 19, 2016 4:41 pm

The blender plugins download link is screwed. Thought I might mention this here.

It takes you to a random folder directory, which doesn't contain the export from MakeHuman or the import to Blender plugins, even though the site says it should.

I made a link to get these plugins in the meantime. Also made a video explaining the issue to people who may be confused like I was last night.

Where do you find the faulty link? The link from makehuman.org seems to be working when I try it.

I just found this statement on your youtube site. (checked on 2016/12/19 18:40 ). Any suggestions, how it could be done better? Furthermore, I cannot recommend to anyone downloading files from an untrusted googledrive source. The same files can be found here http://www.makehumancommunity.org/conte ... loads.html.

This is not a crazy scheme to give everyone viruses. Also google virus checks everything you upload.

Anyways, this is the page you get to when clicking plugins.

Just to understand: you have been clicking plug-ins where? It could be possible we have a not updated link somewhere.
BTW: MHX2 is currently developed outside the MakeHuman project. You can find more about this in the Forum. Personally I think, this is an unfortunate situation, but it is as is. And, as in my previous post stated, we prominently link to the appropriate site, where to download the mhx2-plug-in.

Uh.. Yes? And there you find the zip files with the plugins. Are there anything wrong with the files?

Looks fine to me


As far as I can see both the plugins for blender and the plugins for makehuman are there (I put the term "plugins" in the filenames, I'm kind of sneaky that way).
