Hi NaN, re: Macro error message - looking at the error it kind of looks like the macro code is assuming that the node editor is installed in the appdata folder instead of in the ui folder.
On Mac the appdata folder is at "~/Library/Application Support/Moi", note that the Library folder is hidden by default, you can show it by holding down Shift+Cmd+. (period), or from the menu use Go > Go to Folder
On Windows open the Start menu and type %AppData%\Moi and push Enter, which will expand to something like C:\Users\<Your user name>l\AppData\Roaming\Moi
It's actually generally better to install stuff in the appdata folder since it's a centralized location outside of any one version's app bundle, so new versions will find things there without needing to copy files into each new version's individual .app bundle.
So put it in a folder like: ~/Library/Application Support/Moi/nodeeditor , and then for the launching script on a shortcut key you'll need to have
moi://appdata at the start of the URL like this:
script: moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );
If that solves it let me know, I'll update the wiki. Probably the wiki install information is from Moi version 3 which was before there was appdata folder support.

Yay, thanks, that works!

AFAIK, nodeeditor does not have any Group related nodes?

I have been experimenting with "macro" as group. Seems to do the job!
Edit: Oh, you probably mean selecting existing geometry and grouping it via nodes, not grouping nodes? Hm, no idea in that case. (Still only scratching on the surface)

Hi NaN,
Not quite clear on node groupings, but holding down the shift key while selecting nodes will group them to drag around the screen and select menu options.

There is no case for Nodeeditor, I am very interested in Nodeeditor modeling

Hi c3g, there is some information on the node editor here:

Hi Forum. On Ubuntu using Wine following these directions I'm unable to relocate node editor to "/home/sven/.wine/drive_c/users/sven/AppData/Roaming/Moi" (assuming "I" in original post is a mistake). It does work in "/home/sven/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MoI 5.0 beta Dec-1-2023/ui". Can sombody confirm this should work as posted ?

Hi Sven, if you put it in "/home/sven/.wine/drive_c/users/sven/AppData/Roaming/Moi then to launch it you would need this in your shortcut key:
script: moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );
If you put it inside /home/sven/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MoI 5.0 beta Dec-1-2023/ui then the script to launch it is slightly different the URL starts with
moi://ui instead of
moi://appdata like this:
script: moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://ui/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

Hi Michael. Confirming your paths and copying & pasting your scripts from your reply it still works via the ui directory, but NOT the appdata directory.

Hi Sven can you please post the node editor .zip you're using and maybe show a screenshot of where it is installed in appdata?
Thanks, - Michael

Hi Sven, ok so it's because when you're running on Linux/Wine the appdata folder for MoI is at ~/.moi instead. Does it work if you put it there?
- Michael
From: svenster
Yes Michael. That does the trick, thanks for the clarification.
