Try turning off Directsound acceleration.

Do a file search for "zzzz.saf". That should turn up all your install folders.

It's just an alias for forum.mxsimulator.com. If I move the forum to a different server the "joe" links will stop working.

https://mxsimulator.com/scripts/jm_export_280.py 1. Download via Right click, Save link as. 2. In Blender, open Edit / Preferences. 3. Go to Addons and click "Install...". 4. Find "jm_export_280.py" and click "Install Add-on from File...". 5. Find "Import-Export: ...

Go to the material panel and click off "use nodes" and you'll see "metallic", "specular" and "roughness". Those are the new base settings in Blender's material structure. I have "metallic" mapped to the env map alpha, "specular" to specular...

I have the script working with 2.80 with one hitch. While Blender still has a specular_color field in its material structure, I can't figure out how to set it from inside Blender. It seems to default to 1,1,1 with no way to change it. Is that a big deal?

If you have the port forwarded and open on all firewalls it should be working. Try having someone connect to it. There's a good chance the port checker isn't giving good results. Hard to see how it'd even work for UDP.

Do you have UDP 19800 open on both the router's firewall and Windows' firewall?

Hm. Missed where you said the modem and router were one unit. It's not double NAT in that case. Try disabling the firewall on the router.

Probably double NAT then. What kind of modem is it?

The modem is in bridge mode? Are you sure you have the correct addresses for everything?

1.13 update.

The usual configuration is NAT on the router and the modem in bridge mode. The alternative would be the modem acting as a NAT router and the router acting as a switch/wireless access point. Either way, whatever is doing NAT needs to forward the port.

I've updated it to use the timing gate fix now.

Looks like 2.8 broke the script. Can we please get an updated one from you JLV?

Will do.
