Great News !! Lets see if it works as promised....
Kingfisher posted Wed, 25 May 2005 at 11:56 AM
Just go to www.e-frontier.com & follow the links. Installed without a problem. Sorted out one of the problems I had when using large animation files & lack of response from the keyframe editor. Keyframe editor responses immediately

Got it now to see the difference i hope.

Otaku Check again. I know after I dowmloaded & went back it only showed two files available. But or revisiting it was back.

I suppose that "soon" meant "soon" after all.......
I'll have to wait until late tonight to download this and try it out.
Thanks to EF (formerly CL) for getting the first service release out to the user base.
Ya done good.
I'll reserve judgement on the effectiveness of it all until after I've had a chance to work with SR1 for a while.
This makes me happy.
Now we can all start whining/making legitimate complaints (depending upon approach & attitude) about SR2!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!!!
Thanks again.

Hi guys, It's being staged now through our web people and tested for download. Some of you snuck in there at the most opportune time. Anyways it will be up soon and we'll make an announcement on the site and I'll post here to let you know it's all ready to go.
Thanks again.

Ah, that would explain it. Only see the Content updaters in there ATM. BTW - I understand the desire to prevent piracy by requiring a serial # and all if one isn't already registered with the CP site, but what of us who prefer to suck down files on a fat, juicy fiber connection @ work (w/ permission of course), instead of a slower home connection? Run home and get the serial #? /P
Puntomaus posted Wed, 25 May 2005 at 1:15 PM
I am not sure where you found that SR1 but on EFs site is nothing about the SR1, only a link to the Content Updater and on Content Paradise is nothing either.
Ummm ... maybe it's a game and they test my intelligence. Maybe I am only eligible to get the updater when I am able to find the hidden files?
And I wish they would stop putting the objects of their freebies into the character folder. I wonder if they forgot that P5 and P6 allow subfolders and when I stuff it where I want to have it I have to edit the object and texture path each time >:(

Run home and get the serial #? That's what I am probably going to have to do. That's OK. DSL at the office, cable at home. I don't have Poser here anyway, so it doesn't matter. It'll take maybe a little over a minute to download 24megs at home.
XENOPHONZ posted Wed, 25 May 2005 at 1:21 PM
Downloaded fine for me and... more important it WORKS..!
Determined that pretty quick, didn't you?
I'll reserve judgement on whether or not it works until after I've used it for 3-4 days or so.
You might want to run a check on your C: drive......one never can tell what the results will be with these untested patches.........

CLSteve, Isn't there supposed to be a way that our serial numbers are permanently set in Content Paradise so that we only need to enter them once and they get cookied or something? Given that some of us are dyslexic, it would help. The rest of you, I'm allergic to shellfish... so you guys can reach into the bucket of snapping claws. Hmm.. instead of "bit bucket", is that bitten bucket? I'll wait for the official announcement that the SR is up and ready for download. Wait!... if you're all standing around the bucket with buttery fingers, I'll swing by much later tonight when all the little pinchers are gone. Poserworks has a nice crab, BTW, and Noggin has a lobster. Nobody has done a hermit crab that I know of, though. Carolly

The earlier version up was a test, and so folks who did sneak in and get it may wish to redownload: "Sorry for the inconvinience of the link being live earlier and I would suggest that if you downloaded already, you may want to download again. There was an installer that was a placeholder and a standin for testing so I can't guarantee the integrity of what you downloaded." The Windows version is now *officially* live and available. Steve also says that the Mac version still needs a bit more testing for Tiger. Carolly

Thanks Carolly I did manage to sneak in & download. Installed ok & ran ok. However I have downloaded again & installed & still all ok. Mind you first time around I was asked for serial numaber second time I wasn`t.
