Liquid Shapes stopped working (FIXED)

Post by EricTheFish »

Well this is weird. I opened Moho today and Liquid Shapes has stopped working on my machine. It all worked perfectly before.
I'm using Moho 14.1 on Win10x64, NVidia Quadro P4000 multi display GFX.

On a new file, I can't create any Liquid Shapes and the Merge button does nothing.

I've removed ALL addon scripts from my Content folders and reinstalled 14.1, no change. Everything else seems to working just fine.
I'm perplexed, anyone got any ideas please?

Do previous projects still work?
Moho 14.3 » Win 11 Pro 64GB » NVIDIA GTX 1080ti 11GB
Moho 14.3 » Mac mini 2012 8GB » macOS 10.15 Catalina

Hi Sam, I haven't used Liquid Shapes in any existing projects yet, I was just getting into it.
I didn't save any of my previous Liquid playtime files, I've just been experimenting with the features which always worked before.

Victor posted a colourful example in viewtopic.php?p=218744#p218744, you can test ...
Moho 14.3 » Win 11 Pro 64GB » NVIDIA GTX 1080ti 11GB
Moho 14.3 » Mac mini 2012 8GB » macOS 10.15 Catalina

Hi Sam, I tried Victor's file but he's using a new Moho beta version and the file won't load into 14.1.

Panic Over:
After messing about with a new test file today, I used the Create Shape tool to make a new rectangle with a hole cut out (just to test the standard tools) and then Hey Presto, liquid shapes began working normally again today.
I can't quite understand what happened, maybe the overnight power down/up has flushed a memory issue or something cache-wise. Things appear to be behaving normally now.
Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated!

You should still be able to load Victor's file, despite the warning.

Liquid shapes can take a bit of practice to wrap you head around. At least for me.

@ Nicohk92
You're right, I didn't see the CONTINUE button in the open file dialogue, I saw a comment about Victor's beta version in your "liquid shapes lose effects" post so I never tried it.
Thanks for the heads-up on that, I just opened it and it works OK, I've already learnt a bunch of new stuff regarding liquid shapes!
Every day's a school day! :D
