- Automatically adds Inputs/Outputs
- Moves keyvalues from entitie's axis into MoveDir keyvalue for func_button, func_door and some other entities
- Replaces env_sound for working env_soundscape with proper keyvalues
- Adds correct SOLID keyvalue for prop_static entity
- Adds correct MoveSound keyvalues for func_tractrain
- Moves values from "mass" keyvalue into "massScale" keyvalue, supported by the engine
- Replaces npcweapon_mp5k with weapon_smg1 for npc_metropolice

Every time I try to open nvmf updater I get an error and it says: the appliction has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Idk what that means, do you guys?

[VXP]

Install Visual C++ Redistributable, I think, something around 2005-2010

[Zorga]

Ok

[Zorga]

Wait, do I need to have 32 bits or 64 bits for this program to work?

Wait, do I need to have 32 bits or 64 bits for this program to work?

Dunno, I have 64 bit OS and it works fine for me.

[Zorga]

Well, if so, then I know whats the problem...Oh well, time for the new computer

[VXP]

This is not a expensive program to run, you just should install a needed software, that's it. For example, install all of redistributables from this page: http://www.standaloneofflineinstallers.com/2015/12/Microsoft-Visual-C-Redistributable-2015-2013-2012-2010-2008-2005-32-bit-x86-64-bit-x64-Standalone-Offline-Installer-for-Windows.html , and note the "note", of course

[Zorga]

Ok ill try that

[Zorga]

It worked! Thanks! Anyone who reads this don't ever blame VXP

VMF Updater's LUA script file was updated with more models replacements and content from the recently released Mega Patch v.4.0
Also it now replaces env_sound entity with env_soundscape with proper parameters.

so I press the "update" button and this happens:

Runtime Error!

this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

plz help.

What map did you try to update? This happens to me when I try to update rooftops10 for example. You can delete all trigger_relay or multi_manager entities first, one of those types causing the crash, I don't remember which exactly.

For anyone still having problems with the "side-by-side" error, it seems that the program requires Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) to fix the problem.
