Hi there.

I've been using Blender 2.63a for a time with no problem. When 2.65 was released I wanted to update it (the Transfer Weights feature was very interesting), so I tried it but I found a problem.

When I want to import a .smd file (SMD Tools 1.5.2 & 1.6.2) this error message appears.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.65\scripts\addons\io_smd_tools.py", line 1934, in execute
self.countSMDs = readSMD(context, self.properties.filepath, self.properties.upAxis, self.properties.rotMode, append=self.properties.append)

ret = op_call(self.idname_py(), None, kw)
TypeError: Converting py args to operator properties: : keyword "mergedist" unrecognized

location: <unknown location>:-1

The model appears, but the vertex are messed up. Where there should be a vertex common for various faces, appears a different vertex for every face.

That happened to me before (in version 2.63a), but only when I imported it while in Edit Mode. Now it happens every time, and realised that the main view changes automatically to Edit Mode.

I uninstalled and installed from scratch several times. Tried different versions (with and without installer, 32 & 64 bits).

Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

Blender 2.65 changed some things that break the smd importer, the author thinks he has a fix for it, but hasnt finalized the change yet.

You can get the patched version which should work, here...

(keep an eye open, he will probably release this as an official fix within 24hrs)
