I am using Blender version 2.69 and Windows7 64-bit.

This is the error I get.

I can confirm that... that... that I can import .smd models with Blender 2.69 with the Blender Source Tools 2.0 on a 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. Can't help with this.

Edit: Changed "I can confirm that... I can import >" to "I can confirm that... that... that I can import >" to hopefully reduce confusion about what I meant a little.

It looks like your files are out of date. Try removing the add-on and installing it again using the instructions on the download page.

Hello Art. I did what you suggested. I removed it from Blender and then tried to reinstall it and it gives me the same error. I then completely rmoved it and all other versions i had sitting on my hard drive and then tried re-downloading and installing it and i got the same error. Restarted my computer and tried again and got the same error. Then went back to version 1.8.5 and got a different error but it still didn't work. 1.8.5 was the version I was using before and it worked perfectly. I am using revision 60995 of blender which I believe is the current official version. I will keep trying to see if I can get it working.

See if you get the same result with a fresh profile. (Move or rename "C:\Users\IINEWMANII\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.69.)

If I do that Blender just stops working. It won't run anymore if I do that. Maybe I should note that when I install blender I just use the installer and have it install the new version of Blender without removing the old version. Thats what the installer does by default. Maybe its causing a problem i don't know really. I tried completely removing blender 2.69 and then reinstalling it and that didn't help. I could try removing every version and then reinstalling Blender 2.69 without using the installer and see what that does.

I installed Blender with the installer, and it works for me.

It also worked for me until yesterday.

Is this what you meant by moving it to a different profile?

I just moved it to public. I alos had to unzip and manually install the addon because it kept putting it into the IINEWMANII profile.

UPDATE: I completely removed everything related to blender from my computer and reinstalled 2.69 using the installer and then installed the add-on using the .zip and it works. I'm not exactly sure what was causing the problem but thank you for your help and suggestions....especially on a Sunday. Also thank you for taking the time to make this handy add-on.

Hey Art. I think I figured out the problem if you want to take a look at it. I believe the problem is being caused by a light already being present in the scene when importing. I was importing everything like normal and then I started a new scene and added a light before importing anything because normally i have a hemi lamp present in my blank scene for when i add the textures so they are visible. I removed the lamp and then tried importing again and it worked just fine again. So I reapplied all of my other settings and tried again to import without a lamp already being present in the scene and it still worked. So that is why I believe the lamp already being present is causing the problem. I can add the lamp but not until all the model are imported. I haven't tried any export yet.

Ok I can actually add the lamp after I have added at least one model but not before.

Still can't reproduce the problem. What other changes did you make from default settings?

I changed units to metric. I changed theme to elysium. Aniso filtering to 8x. VBOs checked. Region Overlap turned on. Images draw method turned to GLSL. The only addon i turned on was yours. cursor depth, auto depth, rotate around selection, global pivot checked.

I use a radeon HD 7870 as my GPU.

It is working just fine for me again. If I start a new blank scene and add a lamp to it before I import any meshes then i get the error again. I have to remove the lamp and add at least one mesh(i.e Legion_Commander_Body.smd) then I can add the lamp back in and continue importing meshes as normal.

Could you upload Legion_Commander_Body.smd for me, please.
