CCViewer version too old?

Post by pmr »

Hi,
I'm having problems now with the clouds I've generated in command line with version 2.13 alpha ( before the one from today) when I want to see them in CCViewer, version 1.40. I get a message that the version is too old and can't open the files. These are .bin files but with .txt I get the same message. The only thing I've done differently from the other files I can see in CCViewer is to activate the SF by name instead of number, which is new in version 2.13.
Any hint?
Best regards

Indeed, with new versions the BIN format generally evolves and can become slightly different to manage new features. This generally causes some incompatibilities and only new versions can open these files.

However:
- the newest 2.13 version (from this weekend!) is now smarter and can generate files compatible with older versions (depending on the selection)
- I generally don't create builds of ccViewer compatible with alpha versions of CC, but if required, I can do it
