Hi,

I'm using the new Windows exe version 0.71.3. Having lots of problems with
Clothray stuff.

I downloaded 'nappe.pov' from the English tutorial, and it won't run...I got
the
following error:

#declare vect = clothsim <----ERROR

C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.1\Clothray\wpovman\nappe.pov:42:
error: Cannot assign uninitialized identifier.

It seems this scene file is for the earlier version of Clothray, and hasn't
been updated. I tried changing the file by following the tutorial, but had
lots of problems. gravity -.4*y and damping .9 give errors when used. I
finally got the simulation to run, but then received an error saying that
there were no triangles in the mesh.

Also, there are many spelling mistakes in the actual code on the tutorial
i.e

simcloth {
    environment Table
    friction 0
    gravity -.4*y,
    damping .9,
    intevals 0.03   /// Missing the 'r' in intervals
    iterations 50
    input "nappe.cth"
    output "nappe.cth"
    mesh_ouput "nappe.msh" // Missing the 't' in output
    smooth_mesh on
    uv_mesh on
}


Help please.
