Can't Install? Missing manifest probable solution

Opened this issue · 2 comments

If you encountered issues installing this add-on due to the error: Missing manifest from: C:\Users\PoorPC\Desktop\Wiggle_2.zip.
try this solution that worked for me in Blender 4.2 LTD (it should also work from version 4.0 onwards):

  1. Download the wiggle_2.py file and rename it to
__init__.py
  1. Create a text file and rename it to
blender_manifest.toml
  1. Insert the following content into the file:
schema_version = "1.0.0"
id = "Wiggle_2"
version = "2.0.0"
name = "Wiggle 2"
tagline = "Simulate spring-like physics on Bone transforms"
maintainer = "Steve Miller <https://github.com/shteeve3d/blender-wiggle-2>"
type = "add-on"
blender_version_min = "4.2.0"
blender_version_max = "5.1.0"
license = ["SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later"]
  1. Save and compress both files into an archive named wiggle_2.zip (without subfolders).
    I hope this helps someone.

Thank you so much for sharing this solution! I was struggling with this issue for quite a while, and your detailed steps made it incredibly easy to fix. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Ps you should be able to install this as a legacy addon. That doesnt need this manifest file if i remember correct
