fk/ik slider not working

[Shaba1]

I have a imported .mhx figure that I have been working on for about a month. I have attached it to this post. I have made a couple of poses for it and added and uv texture. But now all of a sudden the fk/ik sliders have stopped working. No matter how much I move the slider to the right the figure always stays in FK. The ik contoller bones still move in the pose mode but they do not deform the mesh.

Have you used the pose tool at some point? It moves the controls for FK/IK switching to the UI panel. Unfortunately, there is presently no way to move it back to the bone sliders above the face, because the drivers are permanently deleted. It shouldn't be too hard to add an option to restore the drivers, but since it is not there now, you must use the switches in the UI panel.

If you have not used the pose tool, then I don't know what happened.

Pose tool in what. Makehuman?,blender2.5x? No I have not used the Makehuman pose tools becasue afaik they only work on one side of the figure. I should have added that I am using blender 2.49. I tried to upload the .blend file here for you to examine but it seems that whatever forum software this place is using does not allow upload of .blend files.

The FK/IK switch does indeed not seem to work. Since I have forgotten most about Blender 2.49, it took me quite a while to realize that this is a known problem. The switch does in fact work, provided that you have selected that option on import, but the viewport is not updated.This is the Update problem at http://sites.google.com/site/makehumandocs/blender-export-and-mhx/blender-export-and-mhx-249/fk-ik .

The pose tool works on both sides, but the right-hand bones are now on a new layer, just below (i.e. 16 layers later) the left layer.

there are layers in makehuman?? I never realized that

No, these are bone layers for the character that has been imported into Blender.
