I'd start with resolving this error:

Code: Select all

 FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Sega.R\\Documents\\Blender\\Blender_Properties.xml'

Something is suspecting said file in said path - so it should be there.

Also, from the post here at the modding forums the modding tools are released and tested for Blender 3.5. So before anything else I'd try to use exactly that version of Blender, and no other.

this file is in there.
and I was try to enable addon in blender 3.5.

Obviously the file isn't "there" for Blender. So time to check the permissions etc. Python (the script language used by Blender) cannot access that file. That's what your posted error log yells about.

I can't help beyond that as I'm only a programmer but never have used said tools provided by Egosoft.

What's also very odd to me - why is your Blender installation managed by Steam (it is in the SteamLibrary path)? Have you installed Blender 3.5 from the official sources? https://www.blender.org/download/releases/3-5/

edit: Okay, got it - Blender Foundation is distributing their releases via Steam as well. What an odd thing to do... o,O

THX for you reply
I'm not a programmer ,just a player. I try to do a modder.

Have you installed Blender 3.5 from the official sources

I don't find Blender3.5 on official sources. it update to 4.0 now.
about why install Blender in steam , just for ease of management only.

This issue has been bothering me for several days, and I couldn't find any relevant solutions in the forums. I'm about to go crazy from the frustration
I am not a programmer nor a 3D designer; I am just a beginner who has started getting into modding. I have spent quite a bit of time learning and trying to solve problems. However, this particular issue is beyond my current capabilities, so I am turning to the forum for help.

[rsega8213]

I have asked other developers around me, and most of them use Blender version 3.6, which supports this add-on very well, but they have not encountered my issue. I have also seen others on the forum posting similar information, but the software versions they use are higher than mine. Moreover, the official statement clearly states that version 4.0 is not supported. However, there are indeed people around me who use version 3.6 for development. I have tried installing the official version 3.5 and encountered the same issue.

[rsega8213]

Through reinstalling the operating system, I have identified where the issue lies. It is essential to ensure that the path to the "My Documents" folder is in the C drive, as the egosfto tools plugin can only correctly recognize it in Blender. The version of Blender I used for this test is 3.6.9, and all functions are working normally.

[rsega8213]

If the specified path of my "My Documents" folder is outside the C drive, the add-on will be unable to recognize this path, leading to an error.
