newbie help with fork merge for the importer modules. #3

Closed emiliovfx closed 9 months ago

Hello mate. I am sorry if my request is so basic.

I am fairly new to the use of GitHub and git so I have no idea how this works. I am trying to get your branch of the importer into the plugin but I have not been successful.

What I am doing so far is downloading the .zip of your branch and just replacing the files from the .zip in the plugin directory of io_xplane2blender.

I am adding it to the original 4.2.0 alpha release which had the last "official" importer in Blender 2.93 and adding it to the latest 4.2.0 rc 3 in Blender 4.0 but I have not been able to make it work. I am getting errors of installation.

If you can help me with what I need to do to try your importer it will be great.

Thank you in advance.

I manually pulled the .zips and started replacing the modules. I have it working now. I still need to learn how to git from Pycharm and look for the branches for other repositories that I am not the owner. Thank you for your work on this. I accidentally deleted a component from my collections and the version I had working was too old. I was able to recover the work on this with this.

Thank you so much.

Cheers.

PS I found that in the last fork in the tests.test_creation_helpers.py the Class @AxisAngle is missing and this was causing the error when installing the plugin.

Again thank you.
