relink all external links?

[andreg]

Hi guys,

 

After searching everywhere, I couldn't find nothing on the subject. I last week my master server died on me and I had to change all of may maps, ies, models, etc. to another computer untill we get the server fixed (and upgraded to 64bits). Here is where the problem lies... I have to relink all bitmaps and external links to this new server. Bitmaps are not a problem with the relink bitmaps maxscript. But I can't automatically relink all my ies light files and vrmesh files. This has to be done by hand one by one. I can get quite annoying with certain scenes. And when comes render time, if I forgot only one files, problems start happening like those darned different buckets. So after all this my question is... is there some sort of script or utility that would not forget ANY links??

 

Thanks for the replies

Give this one a go, unfortunately i can't recall where i got it from to point you to the original author.. whoever ryan is

It'll do a find/replace and catch anything thats attached to an object that has a filename property.

 

I've been abusing it a lot recently due to a file server change. meh.

Andreg,

Colin Senner here, writer of Relink Bitmaps. I just finished the complete re-write to Relink Bitmaps v2.0, which has support for Vraymeshes, ies files and VRayIES files.

 

Download the newest version from my website in my signature, since I can't post links quite yet
