[SquallAlex]

Yeah. Just signed up to confirm. I get an error though. (Can't find oculus device.) I had a backup of 2.2.5 but didn't backup 3 .json files, so 2.2.5 won't start !!!! Do you have your 2.2.5 version ? Please help if so.

Well, i have already updated :( So we need to find someone who didnt :D

I hear you. But you should do the same. I can give you the full 2.2.5, We just need those 3 damn .json files :)

[SquallAlex]

I feel like a part of my soul is missing atm...

[nicolasvanorten]

Oh geez, that didnt come to my mind to backup files. Okay, that was stupid. I have Medium and Oculus app alredy updated :(
Yeah, i feel u bro, Im out od Medium AND Quill, so it seems all my projects are stopped for now. F**k :(

[SquallAlex]

Thanks for the reply. You have to backup your main medium folder in your library, and some .json files in the manifest folders... I can show you if you want. Here's my first ever sculpt in any 3d app. (glad it was Medium)

Hey Nicolas, can we chat on Skype whenever you can ? I have a few pipeline questions related to zbrush and medium. skype: SquallAlex freelancer

[nicolasvanorten]

Well, i have already updated :( So we need to find someone who didnt :D

[paulferrie]

that would be me i guess!

[SquallAlex]

that would be me i guess!

You're still on 2.2.5 ? You a GOD to me then :) Any chance of an upload ?

[paulferrie]

uploading now, link incoming

[SquallAlex]

Hot damn :) you can have my first sculpt :) https://www.facebook.com/530616337464980/photos/a.555013318358615/555013508358596/?type=3&theater No retopo yet. Still new to sculpting, have to learn zbrush zremesher and tools.

BTW, if you're uploading the whole medium folder, that's good for anyone that hasn't backed up. I did. apart from 3 extra files in other 'Manifest' folders. One is in the oculus app install location and the other in the downloads.

[paulferrie]

I am at work currently and the upload is interfering with work, but will upload in a few hours!

[SquallAlex]

No prob. Don't matter the time.

[paulferrie]

I disabled auto-updates in the occulus store as I have been crippled by updates in the past!

[SquallAlex]

Yeah. I know. I did my research, and did the same. But I thought, hey, I made a backup... Just that I didn't backup every related file. So when i use the backup, it won't launch from revive. (closes after 2 seconds) and with the injector, it says medium can't start... If possible, could you tell me the steps to retopo a monster sculpt in zbrush ? Best practices ?

[paulferrie]

soz bud, above my paygrade, your better off asking that on the facebook group

[SquallAlex]

That's ok. Will dive into youtube and other tuts.

I could only find two manifest files, (my downloads is empty)

[SquallAlex]

One second. Let me show you. i'll download these and report back

[SquallAlex]

The other one is in the Oculus app install folder. (default is C: program files... Will test now

[paulferrie]

weird, my file structure is not like that!

[paulferrie]

sokay, got it now!

[SquallAlex]

Booting in a few seconds. Excited to see if it's working

[paulferrie]

okay, it's there for you

[SquallAlex]

Hell YES ! Working !!!!!! thanks a billion my friend :)

[paulferrie]

Excellent! we got there together! Happy sculpting!

[SquallAlex]

No need for the oculus folder json file apparently. You might be a life saver for the original poster, who hasn't backed up his app folder... Up to you if you wanna upload the whole thing. Sculpting in VR is like a drug. You're my lack of rehab, lol

[paulferrie]

I'm in the middle of a huge project, I would cry right now if medium was down! Yeah, just zipping-up the whole thing now

[SquallAlex]

Haha. A little bit of paranoia doesn't hurt. you sculpting for production ? Can I ask what company/project ? I'd love to increase my level and be part of something as well. Also, can one sell these million poly sculpts as they to turbosquid and other sites ?

[paulferrie]

I am confident I am not commiting any piracy here right?! haha! assuming you need a strorefront liscence for it to work. If anyone feels I am breaking a law, please let me know!!

[SquallAlex]

Occulus 2.3 for whoever needs: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Nd57R5TeueqrA4EqBvPx0_mnHcUxjMR5 leave it 1.5hrs (from now before you try to donwload - upload in progress) happy sculpting!

2.3 ? Not 2.2.5 ? I bought it, and frankly it's nowhere to be found outside oculus and yourself.

[paulferrie]

yeah my bad re. versions! I finished work, now slightly high ;)

[SquallAlex]

lol. Maybe we can use 2.3 and up someday with revive or Oculus goes cross platform ?

[paulferrie]

pah! I doubt they will cross over, and i will forgive them for it cos Medium is so good! Longest I have had to wait for the revive Gods to come to our aid, is probs a few weeks

[SquallAlex]

That's good news. Facebooks is like apple in many regards...greedy and hardware perverse.

[paulferrie]

upload is stalling :/ dunnoe why...

[SquallAlex]

upload is stalling :/ dunnoe why...

No worries. Will upload now. For anyone in need.

[SquallAlex]

I'm removing the link for 2.2.5, as I really wanna support development :)

Here's an early build of the updated Revive DLL if you know what to do with it, will ship as part of a Revive update soon:

LibRevive64_1.zip

[cartoonmonkey]

OMG thank you for that DLL! Currently enjoying the new update in Revive on WindowsMR Odyssey!

[nicolasvanorten]

YEAH, 2.3 with dll is working! :) thx!

[SquallAlex]

WOW ! Amazing ! Works like a charm !

Can we figure out a neural-link digital interface for our brains, so we say goodbye to fleshy reality ? :)

[marcoleone]

Here's an early build of the updated Revive DLL if you know what to do with it, will ship as part of a Revive update soon:

LibRevive64_1.zip

Thank you so much!
I'm not sure where to put the .dll
Can anybody explain how to use it?

Thank you!

[marcoleone]

I actually figure it out.
I replaced the same file in C:Program FilesReviveRevivex64
The update is working now! Thank you again!

[ivanmalvin]

I am having the same issue with Oculus Medium 2.3. Nothing happens when I launch Medium via Revive. Other games I tried from the Oculus store loaded fine via Revive.

Edit: nevermind, it is working with the new .dll now. I think the issue was that Revive's auto-updater hadn't updated to the actual latest version? I downloaded the latest version and installed it that way, swapped out the .dll and now Medium works! Thanks for all the great work on this!

[Calius2020]

Hi - I have latest oculus store and system processes running, got the latest revive (working with other apps for a while now) I have just got Medium and I had the same issue reported.

So I grabbed the new dll and my results are I get the same cannot find pop up window above the overlay of the app and for a few moments (which I did not get before without the new dll) when I click ok I can hear the controller sounds and get the apps logo showing then the whole thing drops out.

So ... with all things being the same as everyone else here - and your using the dll do you ever get the oculus not detected popup with that dll anyway or does it just load in? As I still cant seem to nail it and its close but still playing me up.

EDIT - ok seems a restart and re loading got this working - didnt do anything different and now its, umm, running.

Fixed in the pre-release build: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive/releases/tag/1.7.0
