Thank you Bernt-Scholer !!
Since the new update 4.2 - I can't install or enable the addon - no module name io_coat3d :D
Thanks for the addon, but I got the addon to install only after changing some old entries from when the folder of the addon was named "io_coat3D", but the name now is "coat_applink".
My changes are: file: init.py lines: 12, 13, 14 change the entries "io_coat3D" to "." (dot - without the quotation marks)
file: tex.py line: 9 change the entry "io_coat3D" to "." (dot - without the quotation marks)
lines: 384 & 388 change the entries "io_coat3D" to "coat_applink"
file: texVR.py line: 419 change the entries "io_coat3D" to "coat_applink"
Hi. Version 4.9.37 only work for version 4.1 and earlier. For version 4.2 the working applink can be found on v2024.24 installation folder C:\Program Files\3DCoat-2024\data\ToolsPresets\InstallAppLinks\Blender4x. For version 4.2/4.3 follow this instructions: https://blenderartists.org/t/how-do-i-use-the-3d-coat-applink-for-blender-4-2/1540848/22. *note: GetBack command it is not working -we work on next addon update-. Meantime use node-wrangler addon to link textures.
