ah crap, we don't support 32bit :/

EDIT:
Press Windows + Pause/Break and tell us what edition you have. That will help us out a lot.

Well my system page says 64-bit Operating System. But I have that x86 Program Files, so I don't really know which it would be considered

OOOOH, that's for compatibility, yeah just grab the 64bit version of blender, and you're good.

Sweet

EDIT: I guess I'll need the other version of vc_resist as well then?

try running it without it, if it doesn't work, you need it.

K. I actually thought I had it. Or maybe vc_redist just rang another bell

Specifically, it will complain about a missing msvcrp140.dll or something like that.. Windows update will probably grab it if you have it enabled

No interwebs on PC. I assume I could d/L with my phone? It's how I get everything else.

K, so I have msvcp: 60,70,71,80,110
I have nothing called msvcRp though

msvcrp is just "MS Visual C Runtime" the p is rather unimportant, but it means "Platform"
It's kinda big (53 MB iirc), but if you have plenty of data, you should be fine.

Amount of data is "unlimited" but only the first 5 gigs are 4g. Then it drops down to a blazing 2g. Can't even watch YouTube but I can d/L from it so thats cool

Antidote

2015-09-03 02:47:59 am

ah, 2g sucks :/

Yeah. 45 a month for unlimited talk text and web isn't bad though. And it used to be
only 3 gigs high speed

Alright, so "try to run it" I assume means blender? Because I've got that running now

That's pretty funny considering when/what my answer was. Funny because I just now saw that part

what you need to do is place the entire contents of that blender zip into "Program Files/Blender Foundation/"
Renaming the zipped base directory to just "Blender"

From there open a terminal next to hecl, shift+right click -> Open Command Line Here, and enter "hecl extract <path/to/image>"

Ah, thank you. Yeah, I was doing it wrong. Had hecl in the same folder as the image and wasn't even running it right, resulting in http://i.imgur.com/5g6gqc0.png

It just finished. Took awhile but it seems to have worked.

Anything specifically you want me to try/test?

Antidote

See if you can find any weirdness with any of the generated files. Please note that if you extract MP2 you WILL have warnings about missing files, those are normal and expected.

EDIT:Make sure there are no spaces, use an underscore or something if you want. If there's a space it stops trying to read it there

Antidote

2015-09-04 06:17:53 pm

If you place the path in quotes, you can use spaces.

Ah now it's works, however only after moving the program itself out of a directory that included spaces.

Antidote

2015-09-04 09:28:26 pm

hmmm, could you try that again and send us a screencap of the error?

2015-09-04 10:14:15 pm

Perhaps I am a bit hard to understand... I meant to say that it works fine now, all I needed to do was move "hecl" into a directory that didn't include spaces. It'll work in places like C:\Users\insert_name_here\Downloads but not in places like C:\Program Files\blah blah blah\game images\mootroid

Oh wait are you talking to me or Odylg? I'm so confused. D:
