cleanup/audit of the docs for MH and Blender??

[robertltux]

Could somebody please do some touchup on the docs surrounding using Blender with MH??

I think either i have hit a bug or the current docs are partly fictional. I have Blender 2.6 and the MHX import does not work
is this due to a bug in MH or is this something about Blender 2.6?? (import complains that the file is version 1.0 and 1.9 is expected and if i force it it asks me to try the 2.5 version (which im already using).

as a side note how do i go about making a custom target?? (this would be a early alpha for a MakeKidlet target)

Your problem, which is encountered quite frequently by new folks, is remedied quite easily.

The fault lies not with the documentation, but is a result of the speed with which the software changes. The .mhx version included with the official release of MH is out of date. If you are using Blender 2.60a, then you should be using a nightly build (link in list on left of main MH blog page). Occasionally, the nightly builds get out of whack, but in general they work fine.

MH is still in an Alpha stage, so these sorts of difficulties are not unexpected.

If someone wants to put dibs on the documentation management, they're welcome to it. The last person who was responsible for them dropped out and haven't been heard from in a while.

i think i may have been hit by a Nightly bug (a redo with the currentish nightly worked).

Now does anybody have the docs on how to make a custom target handy??

You're in luck...I asked the same question over a week ago, and all the info you will need is here:
