Getting this error for TMC import plugin which i didn't used to get on my previous setup. I have no idea how to fix this. Even used older versions of blender as well.

I tried editing a mod after 1.5-2 years on a new system. Everything else works fine but i cannot import TMC files in the blender. I have tried using 4.0 version 4.1 version 3.2 version and 2.8 version of blender. This is the error i am getting every time. tmcmesh plugin is working fine. It used to work perfectly fine previously i did this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the import tmc plugin for 2.8 from the developer?

I helped a modder the other day who was having trouble with blender.

The only way to solve was to go back to blender 2.83.

In that case, the model was showing only the armature, and no mesh what so ever.

 

I do recall some people got to use the plugins with blender 2.93 without issues, but 2.83 is the only one I know for sure works 100% right.

Have you tried with other mods? It could be an issue with the mod.

 

If none of this solves, on you C drive search for blender. You might find several version folders under some appdata folder.

Delete them all and install blender and the plug-ins from scratch.

thank for the reply.

like you mentioned, after the error it only shows the armature for me as well. 

I have redownloaded the blender, plugins, tmc files. one full system reset as well (before i posted it here). 

 

I checked with version 2.8c and it was giving me the same error (worded differently though). Its weird because these plugin were working fine on my old pc on recent versions (dont remember the exact but i for sure used them on 3.6 i guess) . But they are having issues on the new pc. Regardless, i checked the 2.83 version and its not giving me the error. everything seems to be working ok. i assumed since the download page mentioned 2.8 or higher i was okay with going with 2.8.

I have totally forgotten what little i knew about these tools. Haven't used them for a long time now. guess i will start from scratch again since i can finally import and export these models from blender. 

thank you for this
