Support Convex and Auto Convex for older Blender versions (2.93)

Thanks for reporting the issue here and adding a useful screenshot! Are you using Blender 2.93?
The updated auto convex in Collider Tools 1.2 uses the updated obj exporter that has been added in a newer Blender version (Not sure if 3.2 or 3.3). You can use Auto Convex from Collider Tools 1.1 or update blender. I will think about adding a Blender Version to the release numbers

I am using 2.93.6. I haven't entered the license key anywhere as I can't figure out where to put it, so that may be my actual mistake. I just noticed the other buttons cause the same crash. It is most likely my own confusion causing the issue. Where do I enter the license key?

You don't need to enter the license key anywhere. Which other buttons cause the same crash? Box, Sphere, Convex and Mesh should work.
Can you try collider tools 1.1!? I am pretty sure the crash is related to my update in using the newer blender obj exporter.

[Weisl]

I can see how much work it would be to use the old exporter as a fallback for older blender versions.

[Weisl]

Every blender version from 3.2 and before is affected by this crash.

[JacobDSiler]

I tried 1.1 just now, and the crash happens there too. Unfortunately, it appears to happen on all the buttons. I bought it for the Auto Convex button initially so that was the only one I noticed. Is there any other addon required to be enabled to use Collider Tools?

[JacobDSiler]

Okay, I uninstalled both versions, and reinstalled 1.1 and restarted, and it works now. The GUI and options don't seem quite as sophisticated, but it works and I'm really happy it does. Thanks for your help!

[Weisl]

Glad that it worked and thanks for letting me know! I was testing what the issue could be. Version 1.2 uses a new version of auto convex but it requires a different exporter. I will continue to look into a fallback for older blender versions :). But happy that it works for now.

Made a version that uses the old exporter for older blender versions. Here 2.93
