Can you run the script like this, "Maxscript–>Run Script–> and choosing .ms; mcr files from the folder"?

If you can, maybe you need to run Max in Admin mode?

[miauu_u]

Get aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse and place it in maxRoot/scripts folder. Usualy:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014\scripts\aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse

Then use the code below to create a macroscript.

 

macroScript RockGenerator 
category:"aa_stoneworks" 
buttonText:"RockGenerator" 
toolTip:"Rock Generator" 
(
   rockGenScript = (getDir #scripts) + "\\aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse"
   if doesFileExist rockGenScript do fileIn rockGenScript
)

it doesn't work. is on stdscripts or scripts folder?

 

anyway tried in both...

[miauu_u]

It works, believe me.

Put the mse in the maxroot/scripts folder. RUn 3dsMax, open the maxscript listener, paste this:

(getDir #scripts) + "\\aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse"

Press the NumPad Enter and in the next line you have to see the full path to the file, which in my case is:

 

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014\scripts\aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse"

 

If this is not printed, I mean the full path, then the aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse is not in the proper folder and this is the reason that it is not started when you use the macro script.

verified

 

(getDir #scripts) + "\\aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse"

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014\scripts\aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse"

So, the macros runs the RockGenerator script or nothing happens?

[carlonarducci]

yes it works. just lack of any aa_stoneworks on toolbar....

[carlonarducci]

the problem is with the mcr

[carlonarducci]

solved

[carlonarducci]

here the button

[richardnyst]

1° Maxscript - Run Script. Then browse your "aa_rockgenerator1x0.mse" wherever you saved it - Window with the aaRockGen - 1.0 will appear

2° Do NOT close the script window

3° Customize - Customize User interface - Group: Main UI - Category: aa_stoneworks - Action: Rock Generator

4° Click on "New" and name your toolbar. Then drag Rock Generator from the Action list to the new window you just created.

 

Just be aware, if you close the script window, aa_stoneworks won't appear on the category list.
