I'm looking for a Tablet Plugin. I got so excited when I saw the one on the Vault(and its quick-fix) and downloaded it but didn"t have time to work with it until now. To my dismay it is out dated and does not work. It is the only one I have found, if anyone can point me in a direction I would be greatful. Thanks for any help!
Looking for a plugin?

cheddy76, I just recently got a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch and it works right out of the box with the toolset. I don't have a lot of fancy functions plugged in, but I tell you, it makes putting down placeables a snap! Rotating and scaling I have yet to work out with it, but as a better mouse, the tablet works so much better than the mouse in principal that it's like a new toolset in that area of functionality.
That said, it does take a bit of getting used to, but once you're 'dialed in' you'll find that the tablet in combination with the keyboard and occasionally keyboard and mouse, makes things a lot faster to do. As to that tablet plug-in, there is a how to make your own plug-in tutorial and a how to update a plug-in tutorial on the vault. My bravery factor is a bit on the low side when it comes to messing with code in any way, but perhaps I'll give the tablet plug-in a whirl and see if it makes a difference once updated.
It would be very nice to have a set of "mapped" or "mappable" tablet functions for things like rotating, scaling and tinting/texturing with the tablet, but I think, honestly, that once you start to get the hang of just using the tablet in the toolset, those things will sort themselves out and you'll find a lot of tasks much quicker and easier to do with a tablet than with the mouse. In the meantime, I'll have a look at the tablet plug-in (I recall when the author uploaded it) and see if it can be updated to run with the latest rev of the game/toolset.

Thanks dunniteowl. I'll play around with the tablet in the toolset, I didn't think it would work without a plug-in, so I haven't tried it out yet. Does the pressure sensitivity work? That was the biggest bonus of having an "art pad". I use it in my programs like Corel and Illustrator and having the 'brush" change boldness by pressure. But any way I'm ramblin' as for the plug-in I don't know if I'm adept enough to fix the one or make my own, but if you take a shot at it that great! I will look at the tutorial though thanks alot once again!
