Question on tutorial for Max2dts exporter for max 7

by Paul Sisneros · in Torque Game Engine · 11/09/2005 (10:50 am) · 2 replies

Im using this tutorial

http://fosters.realmwarsgame.com/maxdts/section1.html

I have the max2dts exporter installed and have exported using bounds boxes and such. Im up to the part called "Multires" about 1/3 of the way down that page. Near the begginning it says:

"Now, install this macroscript named adjustLODs.mcr, also found in the file pack

Now, launch the script by pressing the AdjustLODs button in your toolbar. Select the MultiRes shape, and you should see something similar to this:"

Im not sure how to install a macroscript, i tried dragging it to some of my 3ds max folders but had no luck, maybe im installing it wrong or maybe i just dont know which "toolbar"they are talking about, it just says "in your toolbar" 3ds max 7 has lots of tool bars. Does anyone know what i need to do?

To install the script you should only have to drag the mcr file to your max window and drop it anywhere in your viewports (or choose the menu MAXScript->Run Script...). Once the script is installed you need to add it to a toolbar to use it though, this is outlined in your max manual. Specifically the chapter titled "Customize User Interface".
