Porting from MMF-1.5?

[Dalal]

I have a physics engine I had developed in Multimedia Fusion 1.5. Since I lost the 1.5 CD, I tried to open the source in Multimedia Fusion 2 but it didn't work - it says it requires kcmouse.mfx and move.mfx. This corresponds to the Mouse object by Cellosoft and the Movement object by Andrew Mather. Unfortunately I don't believe a MMF-2 equivalent of the Movement object is available. Does this mean I've lost my physics engine? Is there any way I can open it within MMF-2?

Thanks,
Dalal

If you still have move.cox, put it in Multimedia Fusion 2\Extensions\mmf1. You'll be able to open your application, but not run it.
An equivalent for this extension would be the vector movement. You can control it using the 'Clickteam Movement Controller' object. They should both come with MMF, at least with a newer build - something like 244. Once you've replaced the object with that, you can run your application!

Hmm, that seemed hopeful, but when I put the move.cox and kcmouse.cox extensions in the mmf1 folder, I tried my source and got the following message: "Cannot load kcmouse.mfx". Originally it just told me kcmouse.mfx was required, but now it says it cannot load it. At least something changed. I don't know what is wrong now.

The Mouse Object does exist for MMF2, hence the .mfx extension in the error message. No idea why it's failing to load though...

Well I have another old app that uses Move.cox, and for that one I get the error with Move.mfx, so I don't think it has anything to do with existing or not, because Move doesn't exist.

I do have the demo version of Multimedia Fusion 2 Developer tho, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Yes.

So I need the full version to run my programs? I just wanted to recover my old work so I downloaded MMF 2 Demo so I could view it again and see the formulas and methods I used.

Yeah pretty sure. There's limitations on the demo, but I don't know what exactly they are.

I recently loaded an engine into MMF2 that I had developed with 1.5. It used move.cox. I put it in the MMF1 extension folder. The file loaded into MMF2 with no problem. However none of the actions using the move extension will show up. Just a bullet for each action. You will have to figure out what actions you used.
