Well, since there’s no 8.0 users to help you, I guess I’ll try saving it as a .mb later today. Hopefully that will look better.

Hang in there coldwave.
:beer:

I can't read it

->

// Result: ./untitled //

// Error: line 1: Unknown Maya file version: 8.5. //

Jr. Who, save the file as an ASCII file, send it to Coldwave
Open the ascii file in wordpad, or notepad and change everything that mentions 8.0 to whichever version you're using.

I had to do it to go back to 6.5 from 8.5 while I await a new PSU..

Example:

//Maya ASCII 8.0 scene
//Name: camel85to65.ma
//Last modified: Sat, Sep 15, 2007 03:17:38 PM
//Codeset: 1252
requires maya "8.0";
requires "Mayatomr" "8.5.1.3m - 3.5.6.7 ";
requires "maxwell" "1.0.16";
currentUnit -l foot -a degree -t film;
fileInfo "application" "maya";
fileInfo "product" "Maya Unlimited 8.0";
fileInfo "version" "8.0";
fileInfo "cutIdentifier" "200612162224-692032";
fileInfo "osv" "Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)\n";


change all those 8.0's to whichever version you use

I went from 85 to 65 and it worked fine, and you should then be able to save it as a .ma or whatever you wish to from there.

//Maya ASCII 6.5 scene
//Name: camel85to65.ma
//Last modified: Sat, Sep 15, 2007 03:17:38 PM
//Codeset: 1252
requires maya "6.5";
requires "Mayatomr" "8.5.1.3m - 3.5.6.7 ";
requires "maxwell" "1.0.16";
currentUnit -l foot -a degree -t film;
fileInfo "application" "maya";
fileInfo "product" "Maya Unlimited 6.5";
fileInfo "version" "6.5";
fileInfo "cutIdentifier" "200612162224-692032";
fileInfo "osv" "Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)\n";

Well, I can’t save it as a .ma, but I tried it under .mb. .MB. Hopefully it works!

so after saving as a ascii format it wont allow you to save as a .ma again? Just checking, I never converted out of an ascii format so I wasn't sure.

What? It never was a .ma.

Jr.Who you have to save the file as a ASCII format, click the option box next to save as and make sure you make it a ASCII format. Send that to Coldwave, and he will open it in wordpad or notepad and change everything that says 8.5 to whichever version he is using.

Did you read any of the posts before this page?

not all of 'em but it sounded like he couldn't open up what you were saving in a new version... if theres more to it than that, I'm sorry for not reading every post.
