Sketchy Physics 3 not working

iderashn

I just installed Sketchy Physics 3 and trying to use the option JointSettings from Context Menu, I get the following message in the Ruby Console:

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method setJointSettings' for MSketchyPhysics3:Module> C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SketchyPhysics3/JointTool.rb:652 C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SketchyPhysics3/JointTool.rb:496:in call'
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SketchyPhysics3/JointTool.rb:496

I have tried this first on Sketchup 8 Free using Wine, then on Windows XP, Sketchup 8 Free also, same result. This happen after installing it with the Windows Installer available in the download section.

Can someone please help me with this ?

Thanks in advanced.

If you haven't done so already, please check the Sketchyphysics subforum here at Sketchucation. In there you will find a link to an outside SP forum/blog usually managed by Wacov.
Also, someone here may have an answer, and so, my reply will bump this query to the top of the list.

Hmmm?
I thought that by replying to this thread, it would bump the topic up in the Active Topics list and give someone a chance to reply to Ivan's query?

Whoops! I see I am a knucklehead. This is posted in the SP forum.

Well, that's news to me

I have the same 'problem', but it's no real issue, and just caused by redundant code (the option shouldn't even be in the context menu). Use the UI, opened from the button on the SP toolbar to change joint settings.

My apologies, Wacov:
I just vaguely remember you being the most frequent responder.
I do not have Sketchyphysics in any version as I have felt I was not ready to embark in that direction.

I think I found a bug, maybe. I was having problem connecting a hinge to a object, the problem was that pressing CTRL was not working. I found the following code in input.rb
def self.getKeyState(key)
return (($win32GetKeyStateFunc.call(key)>>16)!=0)
end

So I changed the line:

return (($win32GetKeyStateFunc.call(key)>>15)!=0)

I tested it on Wine and it's working now.

Sweet! thanks for sharing that tip. Have you had any success opening the UI?
