Curtis' Plugin Pack (Update for 3.5.4)

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Broken link noted. It's a forum issue with the attachments. We're working on it.

[pyrochild]

Looks like it's been restored.

[Ilko]

Quick. Thank you

[Mad Reaper]

Pack doesn't work for me. When I want to use an effect, it says plugin error.

You're using an old version of the plugin. Download the latest one from the first post in this thread. Make sure you get the one that says it's for Paint.NET 3.5.4, not 3.36.

I'm trying to plot something simple using Equations: I write x*(x-2)

However, even scaling the x-axis to 500 and y to 20, I can't see both roots. If I try manually scaling (writing A*x*(x-2), in which A is some scaling constant) it still doesn't do the job.

How do I use the width/height command?

This is cool!

Thanks for the great work.

[yellowman]

They are working now with v 3.5.9,

Thank you very much

[mackenzieh]

When I try to bring up the 'effects lab' for Curtis' Plugin Pack I get an error. The error says Has anyone else experienced this issue? I downloaded the 3.5.4 version. 

[nitenurse79]

Will there be an update for this when paint.net 4 is a public release and not an alpha? Effects lab is not currently working with V4 of pdn alpha build 5034.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

I've got it working fine with 4.0 build 5086.

[ratty redemption]

sadly none of this pack is working for me, i'm using paint.net 4.0 (β 4.0.5168.12074)

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Yup.  This is a known issue.  It appears that some individual plugins and the common file CurtisBlack.Common.dll is incompatible with the latest release.

 

Rick is improving things with every release.  He mentioned that a number of previously incompatible plugins should now work with 4.0 .5168.  Unfortunately Curtis' plugins are not among them.

 

I'm keeping a list of such plugins here: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/27661-incompatible-plugins-an-incomplete-list/

[ratty redemption]

understood, thanks. do you guys think most of the broken plugins could work again if either they are updated or paint.net has more backwards compatibility built into it in the future?

 

and i'll check that list if i find any others.

[null54]

That is how it works.

[ratty redemption]

cool.

 

i've recently wanted to get back into making video game textures, and i tried several free image editors. some had potential but were no longer in development, others like gimp, are powerful but i personally don't like the interface. so i thought i'd try the new paint.net and i really like it's interface, it's uncluttered and polished looking, and as soon as i've found all the plugins i think i'd need, i'm looking forward to working with it, hopefully for several years to come.

[camtom201]

My version is 4.0.3 and I downloaded the plugin pack from Curtis to get the jumble but my PDN states a plug in error which is listed below:

 

CurtisBlack.Common.dll, version 1.0.3142.30104

Type: PaintDotNet.SystemLayer.IFileDialogUICallbacks
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'PaintDotNet.SystemLayer.IFileDialogUICallbacks' from assembly 'PaintDotNet.SystemLayer, Version=3.511.4977.23442, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Type: PaintDotNet.SystemLayer.IFileTransferProgressEvents
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'PaintDotNet.SystemLayer.IFileTransferProgressEvents' from assembly 'PaintDotNet.SystemLayer, Version=3.511.4977.23442, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

 

 

I cannot get any of the plugins in this pack.  Help please.  Also to note, I checked the properties of the three dlls and there is no lock or unlock button.

 

Thanks

 

Cam

 

PS. . .should we roll back to an earlier version for the plugin to work?

This set of plugins are (mostly) incompatible with paint.net 4.x.  The author is still logging in to the forum, so we hope an update is going to happen.  Until then I suggest you remove the pack from your Effects folder and try to find a manual workaround.

Thank you so much for the response.  I will remove accordingly and try find a different approach.

[Shadowblitz16]

does anybody know how to get the palette plugin working for the latest version of paint.net?

[ReMake]

Selective Palette effect works in the new version of Paint.NET. You must download to the Effects folder all (three) files from the archive CurtisBlack.Effects.zip.

[mackenzieh]

This plug in pack isn't compatible with 4.0.6.

[toe_head2001]

This plug in pack isn't compatible with 4.0.6.

 

Most of the effects in this pack work fine in v4.0.6.

 

Pretty sure it's just the two marked in the first post that don't work.

I now have the plugins working.
