Plan for Neil Marshall

Wow it's been a while since I last posted. I've been working on Torque daily since Virtual Canada was released but I just haven't been able to post anything publically.
What I can talk about are some max scripts that I wrote to make the process of exporting DIF's from max just a little easier. These 3 scripts (2 really) hookup with GLB3 and map2dif_plus to export files. It's just a couple clicks and you have your map with any bad brushes automatically selected in max.
It should work with GLB2.22 with little effort as I made a line in the .ini file refer to the max script command to launch the max2map window. All you have to do is change that one line and it should just work.
I have only tested it in the 3dsmax7\scripts folder so placing it elsewhere might not work.
Features:
- Select a model by brush number
- Export to map and dif with a couple clicks
- automatically read output for errors and select the bad brushes
- history of last 5 map files you worked with
I know this sped up my work greatly so I hope it helps other people.
