[Plugin] Compo Spray 1.4.2 Updated

sketchydog

I've got an issue similar to others.
I am on 2013. Windows 7.
I had an older version of Compo Spray.
The small toolbar with the to spray can icons did nothing.
Under the Draw menu, I had Component Spray and also Component**s** Spray (note the plural)
ComponentsSpray did the same as the toolbar; nothing.
Component Spray gave me the full dialog box with all parameters. I tried many combinations of parameters and combinations of components...to no avail. I got the message something like "1000 tries...Try Again?" Nothing I would do could get the plugin to create any components.

So I figured I'd just delete the old files in my Plugins folder. And reinstall 1.4.2.
Now, I get the toolbar with the "Top Down" and "Vertical" options that does nothing.
And the Components Spray menu item under Draw that does the same thing as the toolbar; nothing. I do not get the dialog box with all the options.

This is such an awesome plugin that I'd really like to figure out what's wrong and start using this!

My CompoSpray folder has full access permissions for me/OWNER.
Any thoughts?

I know others have mentioned this, but here's the error dialogue box that pops up after Installing Compo Spray in SU2014.

It appears every time I open SU2014...

Hope this helps!

Folks, the best tool in in this field (scattering) so far is Chris Fulmer's Repeat Copy (on Smustard.com). Works way better than compospray (will work with preselected set, will paint
upon the stacked balconies, has 'no repeat' function.. etc)
I really recommend to burn the giant sum of $10 and get it.

I like the wonderful plugin, waiting for update

I have installed the plugin in /Applications/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp.app/Contents/Resources/Content/Tools and the plugins works fine now on Mac 10.9.4 & SU2014.
Thanks you very much for the info!!

mtriple

you are welcome my friend, iam just looking for pro coder to help me with sketchyphisics to work on 2014 cuz im noob, if any one can help plz.

Oxer

It would be great to run Sketchyphisics on SU2014 but I haven't idea about ruby code or programming, sometimes I help to translate the plugins or I test the plugins on Mac.

Thanks for figuring out how to get Compo Spray to work in SU 2014
This is really a GOTTA HAVE tool from the past.
Just to make clear the fix as I understood it.
Here is what I did to make it work
1-I copied compoSprayToolbar.rb and the folder CompoSpray to Program Files(x86)/Sketchup/SketchUp 2014/Tools
2-I also copied them both to xxx/Roaming/SketchUp/Sketchup2014/SketchUp/Tools
To get it to work.
Open SU 2014
goto View/Toolbars and select select the [X]Components Spray option box.
There it was and in working order too.

This might also be a fix for other Didier plugins as well

Whew!
Thanks again Mtriple the Great.

I did what dtrarch said(I am not getting an error message when launching anymore) but..

Wwhen I go to View/Toolbars and try to select the [X]Components Spray option box it is not there. I have other extensions installed but Components Spray is not listed. I can also pull up the tool bar for CompS but it does nothing when I try to use it.

On step #2 I could not locate the tools folder. I tried to find xxx/Roaming/SketchUp/Sketchup2014/SketchUp/Tools

but my file structure is set up like this xxxx/Roaming/Sketchup/Sketchup2014/Sketchup/ -- and there is only a plugins and classifications folder.

Am I looking in the wrong spot? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

mtriple

now it will work fine on 2014,

after updating some files, the problem solved, it was ::: in 2014 plugins folder named as "Tools", in older versions it was "plugins" .

up up ^^^

I'm NOT sure that putting any non-SketchUp files into Tools is a good idea...
You might well have limited permissions to add files to that folder too...
However, to find ANY of SketchUp's folder use this in the Ruby Console:
Sketchup.find_support_file('Tools')
To find something else simply change what is inside the ''...

mtriple

what dtrarch saying :
Latest files : https://www.dropbox.com/s/5sc2ghd6t5amrgh/cs.zip
for windows:
copy Latest files after unzip to :
"Program Files(x86)/Sketchup/SketchUp 2014/Tools"
dont copy the Latest file to next link unless first step didnt work :
"C:\Usersur username\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins"

idk for mac maybe the same ask Oxer .

Hello mtriple

As just a marginal CodeHead I did what you recommended but could not get the Icons to show so I also just stuffed the folder and .rb into RoamingxxxxSketchup2014/Plugins/Tools.
My cut and try screen shots FYI ?
As TIG observed maybe just the CompoSpray.rb file is needed or ???
No error or problem as it stands for me.

I am perturbed that you seem to have a mash-up in your main 'Tools' folder.
This is mine...
Everything else in the default Plugins folder, or custom-plugins folders set to load from $:...
The 'Tools' folder is reserved for a few standard SketchUp rb files, and in v2014 the Ruby Libraries...
Making another Tools subfolder elsewhere is plain weird ???
There are several old files in there too [i.e. pre-v2014!] - the v2014 dynamiccomponents loader is NOT that name etc, and the extensions, sketchup and langhandler ruby files are the ones in Tools and should never be duplicated elsewhere Old files like date and rational rb are also outmoded in v2014...
If it's inside the Plugins folder nothing within it will auto-load, unless it is explicitly added to $:

Understood re /Tools
The SU2014 & updates were per download installs.
The only thing I did copy to the /Tools folder was the CompoSpray folder & .rb
You figure where the other stuff came from.
Does not seem to cause an error or interrupt other plugins.

Hmmmm?
