The only file still being naughty is the hfFixBadShaders.zip. IE8 and 9 give a 404, Chrome lets me download but winrar can't open it. If I rename the .zip to .txt and open it directly in Notepad it gives 1 line reading "index.php". I'd love to test drive the fixBadShaders script and learn what I can from it. So far your renderlayer breaking post has helped me and my team very much. Cheers! Dennis Wow thanks for the quick fix :)

I just updated all the links with .ZIP files so the web server doesn't try to compile them and break. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

When I Save Link As it downloads a file called #scriptname#.py. But when I open that file in a text editor I get the html code for the error page I mentioned earlier, stating in the title block "500 Internal Server Error". I wonder if zipping the python scripts would work, or renaming to .txt?... excerpt from the code I get in the file (without the html tags): "The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request." "The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log." Cheers! Dennis Hi,

Because the file has a .py extension, your browser will try to ask my server to interpret the script instead of just saving it locally, so you have to make sure to save it. Let me know if you have any other problems. Okay, I just double-checked… the links are working, but you need to right-click > Save As… to download the script.

In IE8 I get 404's and in FF5 I get a 500 internal server error message. Is there an other way I could find access to your scripts? Thanks in advance! Cheers! Dennis Hi,
