Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted October 30, 2012 Reputable Contributor Share Posted October 30, 2012 Any word on this, for V4? I'm very surprised that it would be broken from 3.7.18 and V4. What changes have occurred to break the Applink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version of max is 2012, Windows 7 x64 Did you download the main link in the first post? You should be able to drag and drop the 3ds_Applink.mzp file directly into the viewport. If you follow the instructions and can bring up the applink panel, yet don't see the icons, you can open the .mzp file and see two .bmp files. Copy those into your Max main directory > UI > Icons. Restart Max and you should see it. Here are the two bmp files, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member puntoit Posted May 23, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted May 23, 2013 3ds max 2014 should be able to also use 3ds max 2013 plugins. But during the beta of max 2014 I couldn't get it to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chip_M Posted July 5, 2013 Member Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm unable to get this to work. The script generates the error "--Unknown property: isOpen is undefined" in Max 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member RobH2 Posted July 10, 2013 Member Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I never knew the AppsLink existed until I upgraded to V4 today. I downloaded from the 3D-Coat website and only got a '3DS_AppLink.ms' file. I tried dragging it into Max 2014 and nothing worked. It never showed up in Customize/Toolbars. I tried to 'Open' and 'Run' it and nothing happened. I'm sure that was user error because I know little about scripts. From this thread I got the '3DS_AppLink.mzp' file and dragged it into Max 2014. Everything setup and worked per the installation instruction. However, when I launch the app I to get an error: "--No ""+"" function for undefined" . The 3DS_AppsLink.ms file now opens and the following line is highlighted "t=((findString a "Documents")+9" Now, if I close the error and close the open script, I'm left with the applet and it works. I can set the 'Path' and the 'Folder' and everything works. But, when I close Max 2014 and relaunch the AppLink, I get the error again, the open script again and have to reinsert the 'Path' and 'Folder'. That's a pain but it works.

Member RobH2 Posted July 10, 2013 Member Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm going to answer my own post. I think I've fixed the Max 2014 functionality, at least for my installation. As I said above, I know little about script but I can look at it and deduce obvious errors. For instance, around line 142 this code appears: if (findString pathtoIO "3D-CoatV3\\Exchange\\")==undefined then ( a=pathConfig.convertPathToAbsolute "meshes" t=(findString a "Documents")+9 tt=(substring a 1 t)+"3D-CoatV3\\Exchange\\" if (doesFileExist tt) then pathtoIO=tt ) Notice that it specifies '...CoatV3'. Well, we are using 'CoatV4' so I changed the two CoatV3's to CoatV4's while the script was still open (thrown open due to the error) and then saved it. I then set my 'Path' to the 'Exchange' folder in My Documents in the V4 folder and closed Max 2014. I reopen Max and launch the AppsLink and everything is great. I get no errors and the 'Path' was held. So from my perspective, it's all working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 10, 2013 Reputable Contributor Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah, I had to install it manually and I forget what exactly what steps I had to take, but I was able to get it to work with both Max 2013 and 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member puntoit Posted July 15, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted July 15, 2013 hi RobH2, I changed th "3" to "4" but didn´t understand the thing about the Path. Would you please be so kind and offer us a full explanation on how to get the app link running?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member alvordr Posted July 15, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted July 15, 2013 Already introduced a problem with the latest beta. If you try to paint without depth over a material, it simply paints color, but not the material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 15, 2013 Reputable Contributor Share Posted July 15, 2013 Try and close the app > Restart and see if that doesn't help. Sometimes little glitches like this occur and it helps...but not always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ren Posted October 2, 2013 Member Share Posted October 2, 2013 If 3DS_AppLink.mzp drag and drop to 3d max 2014, applink don't install. i open mzp file and install script manualy. When i start script in 3d max it don't work and write message: "--Unknown property: "isOpen" in undefined)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted October 2, 2013 Reputable Contributor Share Posted October 2, 2013 It needs to be cleaned up and spelled out clearly. I was able to get it to work, but it takes a lot of trial and error trying to figure which one works and which one has the icons in it for the toolbar, etc. It was/is a hassle...for sure.

Member ren Posted October 4, 2013 Member Share Posted October 4, 2013 To make script 3DS AppLink work in 3d max 2013/2014 you should follow instructions:InstallPut macro_3DS_AppLink.mcr and folder macro_3DS_AppLink into folder Max_Folder\MacroScriptsCreate folder UI\IconsPut files macro_3DS_AppLink_16i.bmp and macro_3DS_AppLink_24i.bmp into UI\IconsPut 3DS_AppLink.ms into folder Max_Folder\scripts\StartupWhile closing the window an error may occur: can't write pathtoIO fileYou can also delete a piece of code into Max_Folder\scripts\Startup\3DS_AppLink.msif (doesFileExist pathtoIO) then ( s=getFilenamePath (getSourceFileName()) pathtoIOfile=s+"pathtoIO.ini" if doesfileExist pathtoIOfile then deleteFile pathtoIOfile vecbut=[0,0,0] if chkStartTimer.checked then vecbut.x=1 if chkDeleteOld.checked then vecbut.y=1 if chkNoPrompt.checked then vecbut.z=1 out_pathtoIOfile = createfile pathtoIOfile format "%\n" vecbut to:out_pathtoIOfile format "%\n" pathtoIO to:out_pathtoIOfile if arr.count>0 then for i in arr do format "%\n" i to:out_pathtoIOfile close out_pathtoIOfile )Probably, this fault is caused by denied access.

New Member Orzene Posted October 18, 2013 New Member Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm currently using 3D Studio Max 2011, and I'm unable to get it to work. I'm having the same issue as Newbie, where I'm forced to manually install the necessary files, and I still received an error. I'll try to clarify. I'm not familiar with any scripting, especially not MaxScript. Now, I can understand if 2011 is incompatible or whatever. I'll have to make some workflow changes, but that's on me. Anyway, to make the problem a bit more clear, the exact error text is: "--Unknown property: "isOpen" in undefined" Behind the error window, is the MaxScript editor window, with the, what I'm assuming, is the macro script for the applink. It has this line high-lighted when it pops up: "else CreateDialog floatercoatconverter pos: floatercoatconverterpos style: #(#style_titlebar, #style_border, #style_sysmenu, #style_minimizebox)" Like I said, I'm not familiar with how MaxScript works, maybe that's just the last line that it highlights automatically because that is how the editor works. I don't ever really mess with it unless I KNOW what I need to change per exact instructions. Anyway, I don't mean to seem ignorant to the process. I'll mess with it and see if there's anything that I messed up myself, and if so, I'll repost and say if anything I did made it work for me.

Member ren Posted January 14, 2014 Member Share Posted January 14, 2014 I followed the instructions to the letter and still get Maxscipt errors popping up, when I click on the icon I don`t know what is wrong. On the new computer I installed 3D Max 2014 and 3D Coat v4. Copied all from 3DS_AppLink_3DCOAT_to_Max_2014.rar and run 3D Max. Everything works. For dark theme "macro_3DS_AppLink_16i.bmp" and "macro_3DS_AppLink_24i.bmp" must be copied to "... 3ds Max 2014 \ UI_ln \ IconsDark" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
