Thanks 50k, I think the new sibling base will be extremely handy

Shader_presets does not appear at clean install of Blender for some reason...

Edit: Saving the txt file with UTF8-NO BOM fixed the problem...

[50keda]

@SiSL: if you feel it's a bug and you have steps to reproduce it. Then report it! But the thing is that parsing/loading of that txt file did not change, nor has it's name or encoding.

[SiSL]

50keda, I'm not even sure if it is my fault...

I usually make a startup file, ready for everything for a new accessory, so my paths etc. everything comes from my startup blend.

However, without re-saving this file shader_presets.txt, even the path is exactly the same, it does not load shaders on startup.

[50keda]

As said, if it happens everytime, go to bugs section and write steps to reproduce this issue. I will investigate

EDIT: I think I found a desync problem between new caching system and presets list items. However to go around this problem, when you are preparing your startup file, make sure you have properly initialized shader presets (valid shader presets path) and then create startup file

EDIT2: And if you are really hard-core you can navigate to: "io_scs_tools_/internals/containes/config.py:90" and apply workaround by changing:

Code: Select all

if _shader_presets_cache.is_initilized(shader_presets_abs_path):

to:

Code: Select all

if _shader_presets_cache.is_initilized(shader_presets_abs_path) and len(scs_shader_presets_inventory) > 1:

@SISL
You use blender via Steam?
Use blender via steam and the same problem as you.
I have download blender on the official website and I install them and more problem.

Linux users can just run two commands and it is done:

Code: Select all

cd ~/.config/blender/2.78/scripts/addons/io_scs_tools/internals/containers/

(May need to change to your version of blender..)

Then:

Code: Select all

sed -i -e "s/if _shader_presets_cache.is_initilized(shader_presets_abs_path):/if _shader_presets_cache.is_initilized(shader_presets_abs_path) and len(scs_shader_presets_inventory) > 1:/g" config.py

And you're done. Blender Tools is patched, and now you do not need to be "hard-core" to have a patched Blender Tools .

(You can also use diff to make a patch if you want.. but this is quicker )
