Thank you so much for the Spring Joints Plugin.  Can't wait to try it out.
:)

Ok, i got it running now!
I was wrongly using the auto-created character reach dummies at first.
With fresh dummies, it just works.
Also, there is an issue with the realtime simulation.
At least for me, it only works in quick mode, regardless the reduce idle load switch.
These two things caused me some frustration and a sleepless night :angry:
But now i'm happy again :D Will post some result soon.

As another member already stated, it is relatively simple to use as soon as you understand how it works ;)
I probably have to tweak it a little more.
Finally i can say this is a fun plug-in and very very useful :)

I've removed this plugin from my system due to it creating Crash Dump files and have opened a ticket in the Feedback Tracker -  Nr. 6696 on the issue.

I also temporarily uninstalled the plug-in.
For me the same mistake occurs as for Wires.
With the plug-in installed, IClone 7. xx
Crash dump files (36.XXX KB) when shutting down even if the plug-in was not used at all.

I voted in the feedback tracker Wires entry.

Hi there,

We appreciate your feedback, and our people are taking care of this issue.
Thanks for reporting, and we will give everyone the updates when ready, thank you!

Each crash dump is about 300 MB, so that adds up. Check %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps and look for files starting with "iClone". Delete those files.

While waiting for a fix and in order to keep using the plugins, I have written a simple batch file that deletes the iClone crash dumps. It is launched via a scheduled task once a day. 

Here is the batch file:

cd %LOCALAPPDATA%

cd CrashDumps

del iClone.* /Q /F

exit

Save this as a .bat file. Then open Task Scheduler and create a new task (google if you need instructions how to do that). I've set my task to run at 5:00 AM every day.

I just run Ccleaner once a day to take care of housekeeping, but I've also removed both offending Python scripts to avoid any other unseen issues. Both Feedback Tracker issues have been tagged as "Assigned" for a while, so hope is on the horizon. :):Whistling:

Though both Python plugins Popcorn FX Sequencer and Spring Joints are handy I also removed them as a normal iClone day quickly creates up to 2 GB and more dump files. No big issue as I also use CCleaner every evening but its annoying...
