Blender Portable 2.48a Development Test 2

I am aware of the update but time issues are always a hindrance. Thank you though for the mention.

I am hoping to have time available before the weekend is over to update it for all.

As an example download the Bolt Factory script http://sourceforge.net/projects/boltfactory/.

Extract the .py file to BlenderPortable/Data/settings/.blender/scripts.

Now using the 'Window Type' button, select Scripts. Click the scripts buttton, then move to Mesh and select Bolt Factory. Have a play with it and generate a new bolt with the Create button.

I will follow up later with an example on a texture plugin, unless someone beats me to it.

Edit: Just in case I cannot back back to you straight away give this a read http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Books/Essential_Blender_%28text%29

Edit 2: This is a very brief way for you and there are better ways but that will come down to preference also.

Drag the top bar down to show the user preferences. Amend Tex Plugins to //tex. go to BelnderPortable/Data/settings/.blender/ and create a new folder called tex. Place any texture plugins there.

When using Blender press F6 to bring up the texture panel. Click on the Texture Type droplist and choose plugin. Choose load plugin button and the new folder you set up will open. Now select the plugin you require and if you do a render preview (shift+p) you should see it working correctly.

As I said earlier this is just a simple way for you and there are other ways with which to do this. As I am not that experienced with this side of things, I thought this would give you a step in the right direction. Please read the link I gave earlier and check out other tutorials and soon you could be telling me better things.

I will check more over the week but it definately looks like you are correct. If the font is on the local machine it should work fine as I checked Polish and Russian I think when I looked previously.

It resets to the native machine language when the font cannot be found. I will check with the font you mentioned (from sourceforge) and see if I can get a work around for you.

I will check your other comments afterwards.

I tried multiple ways of getting this to work and I believe I have an answer:

Place VL-PGothic-Regular.ttf in the root of the removeable device.
Then open Blender Portable.
Drag the top down to edit file paths etc etc.
Select language & font tab.
Select International tab.
Change language to Japanese and select tooltips/buttons/toolbox tabs.
Select select font.
Select the P tab, this should change from the host pc root to the removeable drive root.
Select VL-PGothic-Regular.ttf and then the load ui font tab.
Finally choose file tab and select save default settings or the shortcut ctrl u.

All been well this should work. I did try it in a couple of different drive letters myself. I could not get it to work any other way than what I have mentioned above.

With regards to unable to detach, in my trials whilst trying to get the font to work it varied with shutting down straight away to taking numerous attempts. More so to do with the drives and data transfer but I am sure the mods here can answer that much better than I.

I will look at the rest of your comment in a day or so.

Not necessary as there is a numpad emulation in the settings.

Pull the top panel down
Select System & OpenGL
Select Emulate Numpad tab

Found the problem although it showed the image correctly, because there was a setting for compression when created the file got messed up and when selected read as 48px. Latest ico link.
