Brush tools menu not working correctly

Hi,

I am having a problem where the brush tools for weight painting are a complete mess. Nothing is there as it should be.

Is there a solution to fix this. Looks like I’ll have to append the file into a new file to clean it up.

I think that I have noticed this in the past with the sculpting tools too.

I have a current blender 64 bit build from svn.

I think you’ll be forced to append the .blend, not open it directly.

Everytime i loaded a 2.49b .blend into 2.5 , none of the brush tools were working correctly. In sculpt mode by example all the brush tools are not present anymore.
Only by appending a 2.49b object it was working.

Hopefully one day there will be a “import old .blend” function along the append to make the whole append process less a pain, i remember that it took me a lot of time to understand how this function worked correctly,it’s definitively an area in which it could do with a rework.

(by example, why a mesh will not append if you select it from the append -> mesh category but will append if you take it from append -> object category)

A mesh and an object are two different things. Just tried appending a mesh with 2.56a and it does append. You won’t see it as you have to add the mesh to the object data.

Thanks guys.
Looks like I’ll need to append it then.
Wish I knew how it became corrupted.
