GMAX Break Through

11-04-2004, 09:53 PM	#1
Rising Evil	I Discovered This By Accident. For Those Of You Who Have GMAX But Don't Like To Have To Copy The Whole Listener In Many Many Many Parts (Especially Big Models). I Found A Way To Copy The Whole Thing In One Step! Select The Parts You Needed (From "Version" Down To Last Braket) But Don't Let Go And Right Click And Select Copy. There All Copied In One Step! Great Time Saver Isn't It?

Windrunner	i dont get it :/ can you be more specific? anyway if this works then it is a break trough! EDIT: Aaaahhh, now i get it! bloody hell this rocks! ladies and gentlemen, this really works thnx rising evil

Rising Evil	:( -> o_O -> :o -> :\ -> ;) To Be More Specific: Highlight The Needed Parts (Almost Everything) In The Listener But Before Letting Go Of The Mouse Button(If Youn Do It'll Spring Back) Right Click On The Highlighted Part A Little Menu Should Come Out. Select Copy. Go Into Notepad And Paste It. Is That Specific Enough? EDIT: Oh Didn't See Your Edit!

Doubt its a gmax breakthrough, as it is generally thought people are familiar with gmax and its uses. I dont even see whats so timesaver about it anyways, seems like a regular C&P function to me

You could also do like, make sure the prompter is at the start of the text stuff, move at the end and hold shift and leftclick at the end=voila everything is selected. Just crtl+c and paste to notepad (Wordpad would be a better choise though as notepad tend to lag with giant mdl's). This is even the OS' standart feature though......

IF people are not that smart nowadays to figure these functions out by themselves then its very sad and pathetic

Windrunner	you cant select it all, it just jumps back.

this isnt really a breakthrough, as much as an easier way of doing something. then again, other modeleers like myself have understood this for a long time.

but if you feel youre helping other newb modelers, more power to you.

And Here's A Helpful Hint: Typing Like This On The Forums Isn't Going To Help You Get Noticed And It Certainly Doesn't Make You Better Than Any Of Us. Just So You Know.

have a good one.

Cookie	damn, you just popped my eyes with that text =P And Windrunner, I used to use a certain plugin that allowed you to c&p the entire text though. Try checking gmax forums for that (you know that reps one made a version that saved the stuff in txt format? Perhaps you can as Blinkboy to make that function work again)

tschig	I'm sorry apparently I'm a noob, because I didnt know that, but thx Rising Evil, this will save me hours of work

thats the kind of comments that makes up fights, he was doing that because he wanted to inform that, not to be better flames. Try to don't make that kind of comments again, i won't rep you bad cause of it but plz behave and be a man not a punk freak.

i don't really know of plug ins at all, they seen to be saved with max sdk, but anyway try getting some plug ins like cookie said and another thing, try getting some of the max plug ins especially max 6 plug ins, i think they can help you out using export window for gmax if then do- utility panel, maxscript, open script, dex 1.85 and roll down and do this:

erase the letters between "!!("

Code:

 [size=1]
[/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]on[/color][/size][size=1] ExpMDL pressed [/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]do

[/color][/size][size=1](

[/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]local[/color][/size][size=1] outfile_name = undefined 

[/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]!!(if[/color][/size][size=1] isgmax() [/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]then[/color][/size][size=1] messagebox [/size][size=1][color=#800000]"gmax users must export using Write to Memory or Print to Listener."

[/color][/size][size=1][/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]else)!! [/color][/size][size=1]outfile_name = getSaveFileName types:[/size][size=1][color=#800000]"MDL File (*.mdl)|*.mdl|All Files (*.*)|*.*|"

[/color][/size][size=1][/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]if[/color][/size][size=1] outfile_name != undefined [/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]then

[/color][/size][size=1](

streamtype = 1

gc()

[/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]global[/color][/size][size=1] foutstream = createfile outfile_name 



OutputMDL mt_exportparams.model_name.text mt_exportparams.edtComments.text mt_exportparams.anims.items

close foutstream

edit outfile_name

)

)

[/size]

and set it in this way

Code:

[size=1]
[/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]on[/color][/size][size=1] ExpMDL pressed [/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]do

[/color][/size][size=1](

[/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]local[/color][/size][size=1] outfile_name = undefined

[/size][size=1]outfile_name = getSaveFileName types:[/size][size=1][color=#800000]"MDL File (*.mdl)|*.mdl|All Files (*.*)|*.*|"

[/color][/size][size=1][/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]if[/color][/size][size=1] outfile_name != undefined [/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]then

[/color][/size][size=1](

streamtype = 1

gc()

[/size][size=1][color=#0000ff]global[/color][/size][size=1] foutstream = createfile outfile_name 



OutputMDL mt_exportparams.model_name.text mt_exportparams.edtComments.text mt_exportparams.anims.items

close foutstream

edit outfile_name

)
