Softimage XSI 5.11 x64

[thefoofighter]

Hey,

I am trying to source a copy of the installer for Softimage XSI 5.11 x64 (setup_XSI_5.11_MSWin64.exe) The copy I have must have gotten corrupt over the years of changing drives

Would anyone by chance have a copy of that? I am trying to resurrect a plugin from that period which was built on 5.11 64Bit

Thanks in advance

did you tried to find this file on torrents?

Hey,

No i didn't, I haven't used torrents in a long time and i would like to avoid it if possible, but if no-one has a copy of the installer I may need to resort to it..
I have no idea where to even start looking, all the sites seems super dodgy ^^ Do you have any suggestions on where to look?

I had the 5.11 Foundation version only, I still might have the old CD for it. Not sure if it works.

What kind of format is that plugin?

Would 5.11 Foundation include the XSISDK as part of it?

The plugin is the valvesource xsiaddon which works fine on 32bit versions of XSI but complains when you run it on 64bit. Ive managed to recompile parts of it namely SMD Import & SMD export against 5.1 but i get some missing __decl for the lib included in 5.1 x64 when compiling VMF Import VMF Export

I then read this http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=24285 where you can register 32bit dll's to work on x64. I have yet to try it but I would still like to finish compiling so that it can work out of the box on 2015 SP2

any chance you can send me the foundation version if you still have it?

Don't know yet - I can check tonight and if I find anything I'll send it your way.

would V6 or 7.5 32 bit work for you too? There's a better chance I find one of these

I have v6 x64 and I was just trying a few things out, It seems that with the v6 SDK i no longer get linker errors at least for the FTK library.
Its a bit funny i am compiling against both 5.1 and 6 just to get it to work because v6+ doesnt seem to have the Core library (XSICore_static.lib) so I need to investigate, they probably merged it into sicoresdk.lib

So i guess no need for you to go hunting for 5.11 unless you feel compelled but if you do I would still appreciate it <3
No worries though if you cant find it.

Can you tell me what FTK stands for? File Transfer Kit?

I'll probably make a new thread for a 64bit version of the valvesource addon once i finish compiling and testing

SDK (Software development kit)
GDK (Game development Kit)
FTK (File toolkit or Rle Transfer Kit) depending of the Softimage literature. dotXSI and the Collada SDK are part of the FTK from what I understand.

That is good to know. Thank you

Didn't find anything related to 5.11 just 32 bit versions of 6.0 and 7.5 which probably won't help a lot when there was a change in the API structure between 5 and 6.

No worries, I appreciate the effort. I'll keep an eye out but happy that I managed to get them all to compile anyway ^^
