Exporter error when opening?

by Russell Fincher · in Artist Corner · 01/11/2007 (10:31 am) · 4 replies

I'm attempting to open the crossbow.max file to study the proper node structure for weapons, but when I try to open it, I get this error:

Missing Dlls
FileName: max2dtsExporter_DEBUG.dle Class: Sequence SuperClass: 0x50

DLL Description
GarageGames V12 3Space DTS File Export DLL

I haven't been able to find much of a reference to this file either in the GG forums or The Google. Anyone know what my problem is here?

    Are you're using the new Dark Industries exporter? If you are, this message is simply saying that it can't find the code for the Sequence helper (used by the old exporter) in your exporter dll. Basically, in this case this is safe to ignore, the file should open anyway. Just find the sequence helper(s) in the scene, delete them and set up the animation however you do with the new exporter.

    Sorry, yes, I'm using the latest one Magnus. When I ignore the error and proceed to open the file, Max 8 consistently crashes, and I'm never able to open the file. Would temporarily removing the exporter files do the trick?

    That was a lazy question... I'll just try it! ;)

    No, I think the crash is unrelated. (something about the files being set up with a VERY old multires or something like that). Talk to Logan Foster, I believe he posted updated files somewhere.
