How to import MHX Version 1.4

[mcc]

Hi,

how can I import characters of MHX version 1.4 into Blender 2.5.9.2 (current version) ?
Is there any trick to avoid defective armatures?

Thank you very much in advance fpr any help!

Best regards,
mcc

The best way is to load your model into MH and export it again. If you have not saved it, you have two options.
1) Uncheck the Enforce version option and hope for the best. I doubt this will work, though.
2) Find an old Blender with the 1.4 importer (perhaps 2.57), save the character, and open the blend file in the current Blender.

How do you disable the enforce version in blender, I can't seem to find it anywhere in the new blender 2.60 alpha?

It is better to export the model again. The purpose of the version numbers is to keep the exported mhx files synced with the mhx importer. If version numbers are disabled the probability is high that the import will end with an error.
