Older versions of TT_Lib?
-
Hi, Please bear with me and my possible poor use of correct terminology...
I'm using an iMac 2 GHz Core2 Duo running OSX 10.6.8. and running SketchUp 8... everything was cool and happy until I decided to give Bezier Surface a try...
I installed it but all I could do was draw the patch, no dialog box or menus showed up... So I decided to update TT_Lib and see if that would fix it...
Following though links on the first page of the Bezier Surface thread, I came to version 2.9.14...
I installed it and....
Instant crash.
SU can't even open with it installed, so I removed it...
All I can find in terms of older versions are the ones listed here at the Plugins Index...
TT_Lib2 (2.7.1)-19 February 2013... which actually links to TT_Lib2 2.9.15, which when installed gives me a "not supported by this platform" notice...
2.9.15 is newer than 2.9.14? right?
The only other version available is 1.2.0 which is obsolete and won't work with material replacer and quadface tools... and possible a couple of other plugins of TomTom's that were working before I got the bright idea to change things...I think the last time I upgraded TT_Lib was last year, maybe less... maybe more...
What really sucks is, normally I just grab and copy the previous version of a plugin before I upgrade, so if everything goes bad I still have the old version, but this time I screwed up and blindly grabbed and copied tt_cleanup instead of tt_lib...
And so I have no idea which version of tt_lib I had.Is there anywhere where the previous versions are available?
Ideally if a couple were out there, I could go back and try one version at a time until things worked again.Sorry if I'm leaving anything out, I just want to be back where I was before the past two hours... any suggestions or help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edited to Add that I copied Version 2.9.13 from my Dell laptop and that version also causes SketchUp to instantly crash... Maybe it was as far back as Version 2.9.0

I have all RBZs of older versions on BitBucket:
https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/tt-library-2/downloadsI'm not 100% sure, but I think version 2.9.9 is the last one before I updated the binaries - which made the oldest supported OSX version 10.7. This was a result of it becoming impossible to build for Ruby 1.8 under the newer OSX versions - so I had to rewrite a lot.
It's very few users that has anything older than 10.7 any more so I drew the line there. I think you're only the second one to run into this.
So I'm afraid that none of the extensions I will be publishing or updating will have support for OSX older than 10.7 from now on. I'm even starting to drop support for SketchUp older than 2014 because there's so many improvements since then that it's either impossible to support older versions, or it's simply too much work. (Like Solid Inspector 2)

Thank you tomtom, 2.9.9 did the trick!
I realize that I'm running a very old version of OSX, but there are a couple of older programs that I have which will not run on anything newer and to replace them would cost me at least $2,000, and unfortunately I don't have that at the moment.
Fortunately, I have a Dell laptop which I refurbished to run Windows 8, its a bit wonky and the screen is small, but for certain operations that require newer plugins, I'll switch between machines to get the job done.
Anyway, thank you for all your wonderful plugins and help. I hope you had a happy holiday, and have a happy New Year as well! -

Good to hear.
Currently the only extensions I have that uses binaries are TT_Lib and Vertex Tools. So you want to avoid updating these on your OSX 10.6 machine.
