hello,
i'm a newbie, and i've been downloading scene files from
p.b.s-f and p.t.s-f. although this post refers to those groups,
i did not post this in the scene files group simply because
this is not a scene file. slap me if i'm wrong.
very big thanks to the generous people who share their
hard work with everybody. but one small and humble request:
if its not too much trouble, please post the version necessary
for the render in the text part of your message. i've down-
loaded a tornado, animated cloth, and chess set and unzipped
them only to find they were megapov when they died in pov.
there was no mention of this in the text of the message.
since i'm a newbie, i'm trying to stick with the latest official
version of pov, and save the unofficial patches for when i'm
more qualified to swim in more dangerous waters.
thank you, miker

Postings in those groups usually refer to some discussion elewhere. It's
often clear from the context what version they are made for.
NTL since this problem will probably not become less important with Povray
3.5 (the variety of different versions with different features will
probably increase) i would second your suggestion.
BTW there is nothing against using megapov for a newbie. The old features
work just like in the official version and you don't need to use the new
ones. And for example using radiosity should better be learned with the
new version.

A fair request. I'll try to remember it in the future and hope others will
too.

In defense of myself, if it was my tornado.pov at povray.texts.scene-files,
it does say "// Vers: unofficial MegaPov 0.4" on the 3rd line of the message
text. I most always have put which version can be used. Don't know why I
skipped over doing so for the newer file at povray.binaries.scene-files.
Stupid of me, sorry. And I saw just now that it was the one at the binaries
group.
That one at text.scene-files has comments about exchanging things to work
under v3.1 and uses just a cone and torus. The binaries one simply must use
either MegaPOV or possibly v3.5 (although I haven't checked).

with 3.1. i saw the jpg and animation, and they were both REAL
impressive.

when i posted.
thanks, miker

Thanks much, was my most involved #macro. Way too many parameters in there,
eh? (don't answer that...)

No, no. It's my fault for not describing how it was to be done, more
specifically the version needed. When I post to the text.scene-files group
I know it's written in some way to be seen. I can easily forget at
binaries.scene-files since I rarely post there.
You're "request" was very legitimate.
