I can't make the python scripts work in Blender 2.65 . I tried them in Blender 4.1 and 5 but still no luck. In blender 2.65 even if i put the scripts in scripts/addons they are not visible in File/User preferences/Add-Ons/Import-Export as they should .What can i do to make it work?(i need them to make some cool cars and wheels)

Hi slickx,

1. Download script: https://github.com/VDrift/blender-scripts
2. Download blender: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
3. Put script (vdrift.py) into <blender>/2.65/scripts/addons

I am using windows 7 and after i tried again and again to make it work it is not working.I even installed Python 26 on my computer and still the plugin doesn't show in the addons Import-Export list.What can i do to make it work?

Are you using the correct vdrift.py (the one for blender26)?

Check system console output: Blender->Window->Toggle System Console

You don't need to install python for blender2.5-2.6, it's included.

i tried all the vdrift.py files and did not work.It is very frustrating and i attached Print Screen of the Console.

How did you download the vdrift.py and from where? According to your console output it has been saved in utf-8 format, while it should be ascii.

Open it in a text editor. It should look like this https://raw.github.com/VDrift/blender-sc.../vdrift.py

I downloaded the files from https://github.com/VDrift/blender-scripts and tried them all with different versions of blender and they won't work.With the link you gave me now https://raw.github.com/VDrift/blender-sc.../vdrift.py i copied the text and pasted it into the vdrift.py script using Notepad and it worked like a charm.i also tried the files from svn>trunk>tools witch did not work in blender.Thank you very much for the help and patience!
