So my dbp's "main" help file dissapeared, don't know why, and since I have a few plugins I decided I didn't want to reinstall it, so I installed the free version and moved the file over. Problem is, the free version changed some computer settings so I couldn't open db code files just by double clicking anymore, so I tried "open with" and that didn't work either. I decided to "repair" installation from the install disk, now my dbp seems to work except my main project runs differently now...

So basically I have these two objects, both are image planes wih the same settings. Neither have been affected by "fix object pivot". One of them constantly teleports to the camera, rotates like the camera, and moves forward. Then the other teleports to the first, and copies the first's rotation data. And then Sync. So they should appear right on top of each other. BUT THEY DON'T EVER SINCE I REPAIRED INSTALLATION! They appear in the same location, but the first one is at a ~100 degree angle to the other. And even if I print the angles of the two objects, the angles say thy are the same, yet the objects appear rotated differently!

What is going on here? My code didn't change a bit, yet the result in the program is different. I think I should reinstall, but first I need to re-download al; my plugins. So can someone help me fix this, or at least direct me to IanM's Matrix1Utils plugin?

Thanks.

Don't delete everything.

- First, make a backup of your plugins-user, plugins-licensed and certificates directories from the compiler directory.
- Then carry out your full install.
- Then move the content of the backed-up directories back.

This should keep all of your plug-ins in place and still working, and avoid re-registering DBPro too.
