Questions about applying materials

[Chuma_09]

Hey everyone, I'm new to Blendigo and I've been trying to apply some external materials from the materials Database. But I keep getting a Python script error.
Can someone help me please?

here is what I do

I go to the materials section,

then in The material database
and when I click on the button, I get a Python script error message and Blendigo shuts down

at the end in the blender console, I see TypeError: descriptor 'lower' requires a 'str' object but received a 'unicode'

and I'm running Blender 2.49

Python 2.6.2

Indigo 2.4


what can I do?

Materials in material database are backed.
To use them with blendigo unback them with 7-zip or rar or zip or material editor.

when I unpack them, are they igm files?
can I unpack them anywhere?

I have tried to import the igm files but I still get an error

Also, why am I getting this python error?

Hi,

Can you copy/paste a few lines before the TypeError message on the console so that we can see where the error occurred ?

Thanks.
